The DEI chickens come home to roost

DEI has sure caught fire in LA and environs: "Prepare to Be Shocked: Los Angeles' Fire Chief Is a DEI-Obsessed 'LGBTQ' Woman Who Wasted Millions".

Let me toss something out there, with respect to the LGBTQ activists who get promoted to senior bureaucratic positions like this: is it mostly just the uniforms and visored military caps that appeal? The gold braid? The opportunity for people of similar persuasion to assemble in large groups? Then how about you simply form a fraternity (or sorority, as the case may be), and buy some old surplus military uniforms and get together at your lodge every first Tuesday of the month for fellowship, using the secret handshake, holding corny initiation rites for new members, etc.? 

Or, you could live that part of your life without parading it in front of everybody and trying to compel submission to your lifestyle, and demonstrate genuine, experience- and skill-focused merit in your career pursuits and hiring decisions. How would that be?

  1. Or, it could be a symptom of a mental illness. Maybe?

    My sister was gay. She and her life partner lived their whole lives together (in the Air Force) since the mid 1960s without showing any outward signs that it was unusual, or different than any other lifestyle. But, they were sane.

    1. It's the insane ones that present the problems.

  2. I don't think it's a coincidence that nearly all of the SA's leadership prior to 30 June 1934 was gay.

  3. Dem pols are unable to perform the basic functions of gov't and yet, Dem voters blame everybody except Dem pols.
    It's perverse.
    I watched it while growing up in NYS and still cannot understand it.

    Mangement meetings must be fun for any straight white males.

    4. Whoa! If those three were wearing fire-retardant uniforms, they could probably smother a fairly sizable blaze all by themselves.

    1. Ace covered that weird thing where she says she's 'not going to carry your husband' too. And 'you want to see somebody...that looks like you'.

      The problem is I think a lot of women, not men, would agree with her. Women will complain that some guy is 'icky' or looks mean etc, and it will affect how they VOTE.
