They say politics makes for strange bedfellows and that is what will be on display tonight in the Bronx when the Yankees meet the Texas Rangers in game 3 of the ALCS. Gubernatorial hopeful and local wackjob Carl Paladino has decided to buy out a huge chunk of the right field bleachers with the hopes of staging a gay rights demonstration.
The Yankee Stadium bleachers have come under fire recently for their homophobic rendition of the Village People's classic YMCA, which is played while the stadium grounds crew rakes the infield and murders dignity.
Paladino, meanwhile has drawn criticism for his comments about homosexuality and his staunch anti-speedo stance. Most polls show Paladino has fallen hopelessly behind Andrew Cuomo in the race for Governor, but that hasn't stopped the Republican from trying one last ditch effort to get homosexual voters back on his side.
In addition to giving the 1,000 bleacher tickets purchased to local gay and lesbian organizations, Paladino will patrol the bleachers with his group of "ambassadors" educating the ignorant about gay rights. Paladino seems excited about the event...or maybe he seemed desperate, it's hard to tell with politicians.
"I really want to get out there and show the people of this great state that I support equal rights for all.", Paladino told The Apple. "It's going to be a good time. We're going to stop them from singing that song and we'll also have men in little Speedos grinding on each other. Dear God please vote for me."
Fans interested in joining the protest are encouraged to meet up with Paladino at a rally outside Gate 8 at 6PM. Speedos are optional.
