Gay, lesbian parents to line up for Easter Egg Roll tickets (at WH)
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/13/eastereggroll.ap/index.html

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hundreds of gay and lesbian parents hoping to take their families to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll plan to start lining up Friday evening to make sure they get tickets for the Monday event.

Thousands of tickets -- an estimated 16,000 last year -- are given away on a first-come-first-come basis beginning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

National Park Service officials said Wednesday that children of all ages may attend as long as there is at least one child 7 years old or younger, and no more than two adults per group.

How will they wiggle out of this one? It is first-come-first-served basis. The fundies will go nuts over that! :evilgrin:

6. I am afraid of that. They should not have announced their plan
Some idiot fundies might show up Thursday night and wait in line for two days just to prevent anyone else to get the tickets.

3. They'll probably give them all away to party chairs
And only hand out a couple of hundred to those waiting in line.

Or Homeland Security will call them all security risks....

They'll find some way...if they can detain a uniformed Marine at the airport coming back from Iraq as a terra risk, they can do anything. And they likely will, sad to say.
