Police Called in to Impose Reverence for Freakazoids

Behold the latest hate crime inflicted upon the oppressed transgendered community:
The question-and-answer session had started in unremarkable fashion.
As the 50 members of the public at the police liaison meeting were handed their electronic handsets to take part in a survey, an official told them: 'Let's start with an easy question to get us going.
'Press A if you're male or B if you're female.'
But it seems nothing is ever that simple. Someone asked: 'What if you're transgendered?'
'You could press A and B together,' quipped Conservative councillor Jonathan Yardley.
How insensitive. But not to worry: Yardley was attended to by the police for this thought crime.
A complaint was made — and as a result, he was spoken to by police for his ' homophobic' remark.
Yesterday, the 48-year-old councillor said: 'I went to meet a sergeant and an inspector who told me what I said could be homophobic and started giving me advice on what sort of humour I should engage in.
'They put me through the mill and asked me to confirm what I'd said and told me that a complaint had been made and I could be prosecuted.
Yardley wasn't arrested this time. But he had better remember that living under totalitarian moonbattery is no laughing matter.
Hat tip: Track-A-'Crat.
