> [@Elza B](#): > > Okay, not that I LIKE the woman, but can we please stop referring the Department of Education head Margaret Spellings as ‘she’? If ‘she’s’ really a ‘he’, I’d say she has more to answer for and worry about than whether or not _Postcards_ shows a lesbian couple. > > E. Um, what’s wrong with referring to her as “she”? 😕 ---

> [@Raygun99](#): > > I think it’s important to point out here that the “lesbian” couple in question are cartoon rabbits. > > Cause that makes it a hell of a lot funnier. Oh, rabbit costumes. This is one Mrs. Six and I haven’t tried yet. Was there any bondage involved? I’m just asking cuz it seems like lesbian rabbits, maple syrup and bondage would naturally go together. I know one group of third graders who seem not to have been negatively affected by having an openly lesbian teacher teaching their class. Why, this particular lesbian and her wife have actually come to the school basketball games and an assembly together! Hmmm. I wonder if I could justify wearing a bunny suit to class. Nobody objects to the kimonos, is a bunny suit really that big of a jump? ---
