Your good friends at LeslieCo have been working diligently to bring Peace to the trans community. Apparently the generous offer of shelter from weather is resented by an elite few, who would prefer getting damp to standing alongside those that should be following silently four paces behind them.
So, LeslieCo's think tank has been feverishly working to find a solution. We ran several ideas up the proverbial flagpole. We vetted these notions through our extensive legal department. Our marketing division drew up plans and packaging. Truly, the best minds at LeslieCo have been fine-tooth combing like a camp counselor during tick season.
The LGBT Umbrella is beyond redemption. The concept, while lovely, has been sullied by the fighting. Some deny its existence, others run screaming at its mere mention. A new metaphor is needed, and your corporate servants at LeslieCo have one at hand: The LGBT Hat Rack.
The LGBT Hat Rack is a place to hang your stuff: wraps, boas, fedoras, and yes, umbrellas. The entire community is free to store their accessories together. Or, if they wish to opt out, they take their stuff and go. No formal commitment required, no tangible linking of parties. After hanging one's things on the hat rack, one can go to any part of the community and hang with their favorite cliques.
We fear there may still be a few bugs to be worked out, but we hope to have a beta version available in the very near future. LeslieCo feels that imperfect worlds can be made better through hard-sell tactics and warm, fuzzy marketing for the masses.
Public feedback is expected and welcome. LeslieCo believes in the virtue of free speech, no matter the price of buying it.

What? Hang my lovely fox stole next to someone's raggedy red hoodie? Never! ;-)

On the face of it enough money thrown at lobbying should get this off the ground but really I would be embarrassed to hang my rags next to somebody else's fine togs. I'm just a poor relation who could never buy my way into the elite sisterhood so will just watch the fighting from the sidelines then perhaps just slope off and live what life I can.
ReplyDeleteI know this is cheesy, but "why can't we all just get along?"
ReplyDeleteNo one I know is trying to make me change my personal gender and I just want everyone to be comfortable and themselves.
Hugs and thanks for the hard work at LeslieCo!
Alright. That's the second clever post I've seen in the past 24 hours on the whole umbrella topic. I liked the other one, but it was almost too obvious. Your's took a route I did not expect. I totally did not see that one coming. At all. Kudos, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteThat's for the laugh. I think we all needed one.
Capital idea!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that there is a portable version?
I have to say Leslie, this is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. Long live LeslieCo!!
ReplyDeleteThe ongoing bickering in the T-community has caused me to leave it pretty much all together. I believe in equality and fairness of all human beings without regards to labeling. Perhaps we could have a hat rack for all of us to coexist together. :)
Peace, Tina
