Residents in the small town of Semmes, Alabama were surprised when one of the acts in the annual Christmas parade was a group of black drag queens known as “The Prancing Elite.”
“I was outraged and appalled. I never expect anything like this at the Semmes Christmas parade,” Claudia Davis told Fox 10 News. “They should have notified the people of Semmes.”
“We do want to apologize if we offended anybody who did not know who we were before today, but still at the end of the day, we only just came to dance and we did get invited,” troupe leader Collins said.
Meanwhile, according to Claudia Davis the "Friends of Semmes" have been removed as organizers of the Christmas parade. The city council will organize the event next year.
The captain of the troupe, Kentrell Collins, said he believed the offer had been made in good faith, and that the representative for the Friends of Semmes to whom he spoke knew who she was hiring.

You see! Without the polarized GLBT debate, this would not have been nearly as funny. Distances between beliefs can allow for some amazing humor, we have to admit. Right?

That there's funny. It would have been funnier in Arab. But still, you'd think someone would have checked it out first.
