FAT RIGHTS NOW!

I JUST SAW IT IN MY HEAD A FEW MINUTES AGO!  PASS IT ON!!
(Imitating the forwarded internet fable sort of email that most of us just nuke)
=======================================
 
I have absolutely had it to the gills with gay rights. To illuminate the absurdity:
 
I am a Fat-American.

All sorts of HATEFUL things are said and even THOUGHT about Fat-Americans.
 
Fat-Americans.are the butt of an entire class of FAT JOKES.
 
Fat-Americans.are the subject to HATE CRIMES, such at SLURS and NAME-CALLING,  such as "FATSO", "LARD ASS", or "SWEAT HOG" 
 
Fat-Americans don't dare put on a bikini or thong and go out on a public beach. And if they lay down, an anxious crowd soon gathers trying to drag you "back into the ocean".

Fat-Americans are profiled every way a minority could be.
People think Fat-Americans are inferior and lazy.
People say Fat-Americans are ugly.
People say Fat-Americans smell bad.
People think Fat-Americans.can't know when they are having sex or not.
People say Fat-Americans take up too much room and they are AFRAID that Fat-Americans will break their furniture.
 
Nobody wants their son or daughter to marry one.  And no parent wants their child to grow up FAT
 
Many people grow up apparently "normal" and return FAT from college where they had a FAT room mate, many FAT friends, and FAT professors- all of whom had accepted their FATNESS as perfectly normal.  FAT BEHAVIOR Is not only tolerated but encouraged and widely enjoyed in GROUP FAT BEHAVIOR, especially at PUBLIC buffet houses and pizza parlors..
 
People are uncomfortable being around Fat-Americans and make HATEFUL statements like "Hey Blimpo! Too many Twinkies!"
 
People are prejudiced about Fat-Americans, there is almost an endless list of things people "know" we can't do.
 
Suggesting to a Fat-American that he could solve all his problems by making a LIFE STYLE CHANGE such as going on a diet, is just plain HATE SPEECH.
 
Religious people might say "Love the FAT PERSON, hate the FAT".  What a phony thing to say.  I didn't CHOOSE TO BE FAT!  It's just what I am, a Fat American, and I can't deny it, no matter how much I would like to.  You can't change WHAT YOU ARE!  Mere willpower isn't going to make FAT GENES disappear.  I tried to abstain from FAT BEHAVIOR many times, but I quickly found out that I didn't like that.  FAT BEHAVIOR is instinct!
 
There are a lot of places where Fat-Americans.are accessibility denied.  Travel trailers, bus or airplane lavatories, and little Jap cars for instance.
 
Fat-Americans are forbidden from many employments.  Nobody will hire a Fat-American life guard, Ambulance EMT, Airline Stewardess, clothing model, or car salesman.
 
I can't help it.  It's genetic. Both my paternal and maternal families have many Fat-Americans.
 
I WAS BORN THIS WAY.
 
FAT RIGHTS NOW! 
 
Fat Pride! 
 
This is NOT an old worn-out internet fable.  It is a fresh, original, brand new internet fable written on February 8, 2008 at 2am in the morning because I don't have enough sense to go to bed.  It is not alleged to be written by anybody famous. It is written by little old me, Leonard Henderson, a PROUD FAT AMERICAN.   Some late night, I might get inspired to do something about the "Dumb Blonde" prejudice since I am a Swedish-American.
