One of the most ridiculous things I've ever read

Maybe it's because it's midnight and I haven't slept over four hours a night for the past several nights. I was just reading this story about a city manager in Florida who is being fired after announcing he will have a sex change operation. I got to the third paragraph and read a quote from a commissioner and then read the commissioner's name, Gay Gentry. After that line I couldn't take anything else in the article seriously. Is that wrong?
