Left-wing politician suggests gay podium presenters
The winner of the prologue of the Giro d'Italia in Amsterdam this year should be greeted not by the usual podium girls but by podium guys, a Dutch politician has argued. The Giro opens in the Dutch city on May 8 with an 8km individual time trial.
''In a city like Amsterdam, known as the gay capital, it would be nice not to have two beautiful misses, but two fine misters, Marco de Goede of the GroenLinks party argued Wednesday at a city council meeting, according to Reuters.
Do not let a beautiful lady with long legs present the pink jersey award to the winner of the prologue, but a man with a broad chest. Or a drag queen, he suggested. A 'Miss' is hopelessly outdated and sexist.
