No, I’m not Carla Fong.
The name’s Fong, Carl La Fong. Not Carla Fong.
My phone rang early this morning due to a front page story that appeared in today’s Los Angeles Times, under Kim Murphy’s byline.
Turns out there’s a Mayor of a small town - Silverton, Oregon – called Stu Rasmussen. During his first couple of terms as Mayor of this former lumber town, Mayor Rasmussen was, in his own words, “a very straight-looking guy”. The Mayor is a software engineer and the long time manager of the local cinema.
Mr. Rasmussen has just been re-elected for a third term but the Times reports that the 60 year old Mayor-elect has had breast implant surgery, dresses as a female, favors miniskirts, lipstick and halter tops and… wait for it… prefers to be known as Carla Fong.
Mayor-elect Carla Fong
Regarding his name change, Mayor-elect Rasmussen admits that “Basically, I’m Stu in Silverton, it would be too much trouble to retrain the whole town” – but the pages devoted to America’s first openly transgendered Mayor in today’s Times will probably change that.
Which could lead to people being confused between Carla Fong, the Mayor(ess) of Silverton, and Carl La Fong, the well-known and legendary Euro Fetish Producer.
The joy of this story is that Silverton seems to accept Stu/Carla’s lifestyle choice with barely a blink. Which is remarkable given what we are told over and over about narrow-minded small town “family values”.
His political opponents have won a small battle to keep Council Meetings “business casual” due to Stu’s preference for miniskirts — but aside that, Mayor-elect Fong’s biggest problems are when men in bars admit they think he’s got pretty good legs but recoil when they see his face. “If I could have a face transplant it would be perfect,” the Mayor-elect told journalist Kim Murphy.
The grey cloud is the Westboro Baptist Church, located in Topeka, KS. Outraged that the Mayor-elect hasn’t been stoned to death by right-thinking Oregonians, they have made plans to picket downtown Silverton and to “speak words of truth to this…pervert”.
And just in case you are one of those people – and I know you’re not – who think that transgendered folk like Mayor-elect Fong are gay, Stu/Carla has a supportive girlfriend who’s been by his side for 35 years and whom he describes as “the light of my universe”.
So, congratulations to Mayor-elect Carla Fong on his/her re-election and kudos to the good citizens of Silverton who have shown that Americans are ultimately more concerned with the content of a fellow human being’s character than the color of his lipstick.
And ‘boo’ to the Westboro Baptist Church and their ugliness. May all the tires on their minibus blow out somewhere in Wyoming and may they come to learn the real Truth – that we’re all Children of God. Even the “perverts”.
But please – no more phone calls asking if I have moved to Oregon and begun a political career. The names’s Fong. Carl La Fong.
