American Silliness 5/25/2016

New York City Lets You Choose From 31 Different Gender Identities
. . . "The city does not provide definitions of the various gender identities, but TheDC was able to define several of them from glossaries provided online by the University of Wisconsin and the University of California Berkeley.
"Someone who identifies as “genderqueer,” for example, is a “person whose gender identity is neither man nor woman, is between or beyond genders, or is some combination of genders.” The list does go on. . . 
. . . 
"If someone is “pangender,” their “gender identity is comprised of all or many gender expressions.”
"The full list of gender identities can be viewed online in a document provided by the city’s Commission on Human Rights."

Dingler Cross memorial for fallen veterans back up after public outcry  "The 79 white, handmade crosses posted on public property along state Highway 92 in Hiram, Ga., were meant to represent the 79 Paulding County residents who died in America’s wars, according to town officials. 
"But the crosses were abruptly taken down last Friday after someone called Hiram City Hall questioning whether the soldiers were all Christian."  Hat tip to Lucianne for several of these posts.
