<br>
<br>I did say that I would refrain from posting unAmerican information,=20
<br>however the following was too hard to resist--Sorry!

<br> From the Letters to the Editor "The Australian" March 17, 1998:
<br>
<br>STREET PUZZLE
<br>Ignorance is bliss. I note with amusement that the good citizens of=20
<br>Pansy Street in Cairns (Queensland, Australia rc) have had their street=20
<br>nmae changed because of its prissy overtones. The street is now called=20
<br>Hyacinth.
<br>
<br>Hyacinthus was a pre-Hellenic god worshipped at Amyclae. His cult was=20
<br>subordinate to that of Apollo, and he was known to be beautiful boy with=20
<br>whom Apollo was in love.
<br>
<br>Hyacinthus was killed accidently when struck on the head by a discus. A=20
<br>grief-stricken Apollo subsequently mourned for him, in token of which=20
<br>the flower of the same name was created.
<br>
<br>How ironic that people lobbied to change the name of their street=20
<br>because of its perceived homosexual overtones, only to adopt one that=20
<br>has a specific homosexual reference!.
