The Pink Arrow
Even the biggest Toy Boys need a vacation every now and then, so for the next ten days or so, Marcel & Cor will be inflicting themselves on the Germans. Not to fret though, the store will remain open during the usual hours.
Speaking of our German neighbours, we received some less than thrilling news from Münster. Local man Dirk Winter won the archery meet there, thereby qualifying himself to represent the West-German city at the national archery championship.
No problem there, you’d say, yet trouble arose when Winter appointed his partner of 15 years to be the Archery Queen. His partner’s name is Oliver Hermsdorf. And it was his having a penis that started off the ruckus.
Conservative Christian members of the archery guild - a large chunk of its membership - do not want the openly homosexual arrow virtuoso to represent them. Since their protests the national archers’ guild is threatening to disqualify this man-loving William Tell. Spokespeople for the guild have stated that they will consider allowing his participation, on the condition that his partner will only walk several feet behind him in the processions, and not beside him as is customary. How open-minded and not at all condescending of them. Gay rights organizations have said that they will seek legal action against the guild for their discriminatory practices.
