Gays Can Look for Artificially Dyed Eggs, Too!

Gay and lesbians get invited to the White House Easter Egg hunt.

First let me say this: Happy Passover, Hebrew queers! May the matzoh flow like, um, the Nile? Totally inappropriate.

Eat lots of dry unsalted crackers for the next week or so, ok? It's the original Atkins diet. That's right. I said it.

This Easter the White House is breaking all the rules… Homos can now look for Easter eggs, too! Oh wait, some restrictions apply… um, it probably helps if you are Christian… and, at least according to the headline in the Washington Post, it probably helps to be a parent… which means I'd have to have a kid. So, I'm out on both counts. Dammit. I guess I'll have to wait another year to cruise some goyischa on the White House lawn.

Guess this is the only pink egg I'll be looking for this upcoming Easter. Is nothing sacred anymore?
