It's pretty clear now after the protracted primary season and general election season that both Hillary and Barack don't really care about us. This is now my official proposal for Hillary's first mission: The Gay Exportation Act. That's right, we can make lots of people around even "progressive" sites like Democratic Underground happy while at the same time also make all the Republican heterosexist rolls of toilet paper all in one move.
I. All LGBT people will be given immediate transport to a country that actually values its LGBT citizens. In addition, all gay people are granted right to stay in our new country and work and otherwise be productive and creative residents someplace where we're wanted. Citizenship will be granted along normal channels.
II. No LGBT people will be allowed visitation of any kind in the US. If a straight relative wants to visit us, they shall be allowed visitation rights, but not automatic residency unless they go through regular channels.
III. All children will be tested every other year through high school. If they show signs of alternative sexual orientation or gender identity, they will be granted immediate residency in the new country.
This should allow the United States of Iran...er, America...to continue in the path that they want, without the emotional upset of occasionally having to realize that not everyone is exactly like them. Meanwhile, we've got a lot of intelligent, creative, well-trained members of the LGBT community who can contribute meaningfully to the new country. The Democratic Party will no longer have to worry about diverting energy or time to our issues. The Republican Party will no longer have to be skeeved out at the sight of two guys holding hands or two girls cohabiting happily. This will allow the US to retain its emotional and developmental immaturity over having to share toys with people that aren't identical to them in every way.
Now that we know who the Sec. State will be, this will give her a much easier diplomatic warm-up to the big issues like the Middle East, India and Pakistan, developing nuclear threats, and the like. And we'll finally get to live someplace that actually wants us.
