Why the fascination with Gays, and/or Gay Cowboys? Why bring up sexuality at all? Are you saying if the Cowboy was replaced by a Gay Man, that it would be more acceptable to you and those that otherwise would be offended (leftists)?

Sure a big part of it isn't because the word "cow" is in there? They're trying to get rid of them, too.

Sounds like you are using gay as a slur? What does sexuality have to do with it anyway?

They could certainly kick my azz and you'd never know their real gender.

So how about a TransCowboy, Would that be OK?

Maybe a Uni-Sex Cowperson?
What'll we call them when we eliminate cows? Before we all die in 12 years.

She's right. Her description is indeed what first comes to my mind when I think of a "cowboy." So what?

Though I'm not sure I'm going to want to hear the answer, I'll ask anyway: why is it likely that the cowboy on the license plate is gay?
