ARIZONA CONFRONTING AWKWARD REALIZATION THAT GAY PEOPLE HAVE MONEY, BUY STUFF

[Katashi_itto]

PHOENIX (The Borowitz Report)—The state of Arizona found itself in the middle of a conundrum today as it awoke to the awkward realization that gay people have money and buy stuff.

Just days after the Arizona legislature passed a law that would enable businesses to discriminate against gays, it emerged that gays spend billions of dollars in Arizona each year—an unexpected development that seemed to take many legislators by surprise.

Carol Foyler, a Tea Party Republican who supported the anti-gay law, said that the startling bombshell that gays play a role in the state’s economy put her and her fellow lawmakers “in a tight spot.”

“Quite frankly, we were blindsided by this,” she said. “We had no idea that gays had money and bought things just like regular people do.”

Regular people? Compared to what....irregular people? Did they think that gays or any other minority does not buy things, eat etc? It's amazing how hate can wipe away any common sense a person should have.

4. It is just amazing what

constitutes an epiphany for these dumb ass conservative Arizonans. I cannot imagine being a businessman and not having this hit me square in the face the minute it was proposed.
