Transgender Woman Wants Drag Performers Banned From Gay Pride - Insensitve Or Is Politically Correct Going Too Far?

OK...This shit just pisses me off!!! Gay pride without drag queens is like the Republican National Convention without prostitutes. They are what keeps it fun!

Rose White, a  transgendered woman in the town of Halifax-Calderone Nova Scotia has called has written to councillors and the organizers of Calder-dale Pride in Halifax Nova Scotia asking them to ban or publish a disclaimer about "drag" acts because it promotes negative stereotypes about transsexuals and encourages hatred of those who have changed sex
According to White:

“Drag queens – homosexuals dressed as women – and drag kings, women dressed as men, performing as stereotypical crossdressers promote, foster and reinforce the belief among the audience that any bloke in a frock must be a homosexual.  The council needs to prevent anything that reinforces out-of-date stereotyping.  If these people are allowed to perform in the town in the Pride, they must have a prominent sign stating ‘We are homosexual men – not transexuals’.
