Crystal Light
The residents of Crystal Lake Illinois have got their proverbial panties in a bunch over this summer's Gay Games.
The Crystal Lake Park District Board reversed last week's vote that would have barred the 2006 Gay Games rowing competition from taking place in the conservative Chicago suburb. Board President Jerry Sullivan was absent from the town's first vote, (he was in Mexico and according to Brokeback Mountain we all know what goes on in Mexico). The vote was held again, angering many of the residents who showed up at a contentious Park Board meeting to speak their mind.
Approval by the Park District board would be the first hurdle cleared for McHenry County to host the rowing competition. The stage then would be set for the Crystal Lake City Council and the Lakewood Village Board to consider the request. Both communities, which border the spring-fed lake, must approve the event.
Maybe they're afraid that the participants will turn the water into Kool Aid and anyone who drinks from it will become fabulous.
