Homosexuals, Women, and Leprechauns (?)

There must be nothing left to protest over in Iowa City. Especially since they are protesting the colors of the visitor's locker room these days.

For those who have never heard the story, legendary Iowa coach Hayden Fry was convinced that pink was a calming color. In order to gain an edge, he had the visitor's locker room painted pink. Sounds like a pretty funny idea, right?

Well, during the renovation of Kinnick Stadium in the off-season, the University of Iowa took Coach Fry's ideas a step further, adding pink lockers, carpeting, and even urinals to the locker room.

Now, students and professors are protesting that "the use of pink demeans women, perpetuates offensive stereotypes about women and homosexuality."

What is so offensive about women being represented by pink? When babies are born, they are generally dressed in pink if they are a girl. Trust me, our soon-to-be daughter's closed is loaded with pink stuff! What is stereotypical of that?

Also, where does it say thatpink represents homosexuals negatively? Carson Kressley from Queer Eye didn't seem to put off when he donned a pink Red Sox jersey on their show, did he?

The next thing we know, the homosexuals will be saying that rainbows are perpetuating a offensive stereotype about them. And imagine if the them and the leprechauns got together to fight against rainbows. The homosexuals would be saying that the rainbow projecting its image across the sky is a knock on them, while the leprechauns would be worried that rainbows are a negative stereotype due to the thoughts that they sit with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and protect it. Now that would be a formidable duo...gays and leprechauns! What would happen if a leprechaun and a...NEVER MIND!

Isn't there a war somewhere that these people should be protesting? Stay out of sports!!
