Only if you think about the irony

I was watching a few minutes of this show on the Logo Channel; it was a show about two couples getting married in Mass., I think. Anyway, the bit I caught was where they had some blue-haired, much-pierced guy who said he thought homosexuality was disgusting*. He had nothing against the people, mind, but marriage was between a man and a woman, marry your dog, blah blah blah fishcakes.
He was wearing a shirt that said 'Intolerance is a beautiful thing' I believe, and the whole time he was yacking all I could think about was how he would react if suddenly confronted by a group of people holding signs that said blue hair and pierced lips was against nature and should not be tolerated.
I mean, how beautiful of a thing would it be if he was denied enterance into somewhere because he looked like a punk? Not so much, I'm sure.
*I'm sorry, but whenever I hear that 'ew, gross' defense, I can't help but wonder if it squicks them out so much because in their heart of hearts it really, really doesn't.

on 2006-07-04 01:09 am (UTC)I got in an argument with my husband once because he was talking about this show Howard Stern did where he asked strippers questions and they got them wrong, because you know strippers are all stupid, and I pointed out that it could very possibly have been staged and he got really angry that I would impune Howard Stern's integrity. Because he'd never do something just for effect. :)

Sorry, I'll stop laughing someday. The way you phrased it was hilarious though.
