Actually I agree with the New York Post’s apology. They said, “But it has been taken as something else - as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.”

President Obama is a tall, handsome, African American, half white, half black guy who does not look anything like Travis the chimp. And even though the President of the United States signed the stimulus package, Nancy Pelosi and members of Congress wrote it.

The cartoon artist obviously has a thing against gays, but what gays has he had to deal with ? Govenor McGreevy ? What a fucking loser. He should have remained as govenor and said "in your face world". Instead of that he enrolled in a seminary to become a priest.
And Rosie O'Donnell cartoon. She built a career on demeaning public figures, and I think the one funny cartoon was her and Kelly being squashed flat. Lesbians are nortorious on letting their bodies go and not giving a shit.
I don't think GLAAD should be riding on the apron strings of Al Sharpton who has a bone to pick with the New York Post.
Page Six reported my tax protest against President Bush's amendment to the constitution defining same-sex marriage beautifully. I didn't read the article because I don't subscribe to Page Six nor do I want to, but here is a brief summary in the Wall Street Journal.

Sorry, I didn't mean to kncok lesbians per se, age does unattractive things. I am someone who "let myself go" also but at 74, what the hell. The cartoonist is a jerk but if you study all of his cartoons, the celeb looks like the celeb. Also in Travis the Chimp case. It looks like a chimp, not Sharpton, Not Obama, Not anyone I know of that is black. Had he portrayed President Obama he would have picked on an obvious facial feature or ears. You would know it was President Obama.

Living almost 2000 miles away, I'm not hip to what the NEW York Post does. Intimate knowledge of the editorial policy of the NY POST doesn't register much Richter heat.
One of the beauties of the Pride Parades is that they are FOR something. Those who constantly carp--whether right or not--become ignored as--Once again they objected and the effective of the campaign for change looses luster for its sameness.
Here are a few radical suggestions:
--There's bound to be a good cartoonist among GLBT New Yorkers. Offer a funny cartoon is positively homo-friendly--or even better one that satirizes Delonas in his blanket homophobia. Or even more satires the New York POST AS A RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC INSTITUTION. Just off the top of my head I thought of a lanky cowboy wearing a rainbow bandanna, crying in his beer while the jukebox blare--dELONAS aGAIN Or Delon..Again.

Another cartoon for the Post satires: Show headlines of the NEW YORK PASTE and picture kindergartners finger painting all over the front page. Even more take one or two of their major subscribers. Picture two obviously gay guys looking at wallets full of money to spend in front of the store start to go in, but one says to the other--"They're so last year!" to which the other replies, "You mean--so last DECADE!."(Nothing gripes a store more than to be thought behind the times. Then the two flounce off.
Begin a recycle New York Post campaign as a way to honor or troops during latrine duty.
Historically when observing revolutionary groups in practice, they sometimes seem to be more concerned with having something to be AGAINST and have no clue when it comes to mounting a campaign to take over the show.
To make my point, witness the student group who took over the administration Bldg of a school. Authorities cut off utilities, water and supplies and waited for them to exit with their tails between their legs.
If you want to really get serious, plan boycotts of the newspaper and their major advertisers. Involve the straight liberals. If you remember the grape boycott for Cesar Chavez, people can make a difference.
I was working community organization in Houston. One major chain had stores in the ghetto as well as the poshest neighborhoods. The tore was taking produce after several days in the posh neighborhoods. Then they'd bring the second grade produce to the ghetto and hike up the price because they had no competition. We organized a considerable group of women from the rich neighborhoods who'd come down the the church we were working out of. They took the poorer women to their nice store to shop. The business at the ghetto store dried up to almost nothing. The manager didn't know what was happening so he came to out leader who laid out the simple boycott plan. On the spot he promised equal pricing and equal product. When he slipped a little of the volunteer drivers was sent to his office.
Gay Money is BIG money for even a place as large as New York, use your most effective weapons, rather than just deriding the cartoonist. Put him out of business or see that the paper is economically put to their knees if they continue.

Satire can go both ways
