Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 7:44 PM
The video is great...
...and it's even better live. Go see Homo For the Holidays! There's a performance tonight in, oh, fifteen minutes. Two more shows tomorrow! Info here.

It never ceases to amaze me how brave/creative Gay folk are. Really would anyone expect a Hetero to take on the Religious establishment head on this way? I think not.

Oh Yes!
Brave Brave Homos!
Why,
a parody like this could get you Burned at the Stake!
Oh wait,
that was the heterosexual Reformation, taking on the Religious establishment....

We got Nothing.
So we content ourselves mocking the cultural values of others.
Not in an edgy dangerous way.
No, in a very safe predictable so fuckingly boooooring way.
We don't mock Muslims.
Hell no we don't mock Muslims....
They can superglue as many faggot asses as they want.
We won't mock Muslims....
We don't mock Jews.
(except when we pretend Jewish culture is xtian...)
Hell, no one could mock Judaism better than the Jews....
Besides, most of us are Jews.
(Except for the Catholic abuse refugees.....)
We don't mock Blacks.
So what if their cultural values are totally fucked up dysfunctional.
So what if they are the most homophobic slice of the American demographic.
we don't want Our Asses beatdown.
We won't mock Blacks.
(Charles doesn't count....)
We mock the most enlightened tolerant target we can find.
"christians"
It is painless, cost free.
It's been done a zillion times so we don't even have to be original.
Then we'll scour the nets finding the 1% of Americans "christians" who will even notice or comment on our juvenile shenanigans and strawman their reaction into proof that we are Brave! and Creative! and Brilliant! and Edgy! and Can Carry a Tune....

We Got NOTHING, Baby......

You know what would be brave?
What would be brave would be to see Gay folk take on
the HomoLiberal PC establishment head on.
What about that 20% HIV rate?
What's THAT all about?
Damn 1600 pound Gorilla that Danny and Queer,Inc tiptoe around....
Are there any brave/creative Gay folk on Slog who will tell Danny that the exploits of Youth Pastors, as titillating as he finds them, just may not be the most relevant social phenomenon affecting The Gays right now. (unless, of course, he wants to address directly the 50% of abusive church youth workers who ARE homosexual)
Are there any brave/creative Gay folk on Slog who will tell Danny that mentally ill heterosexual parents' abuse is not something he discovered but that casting a light on the lack of resources for victims and inflictors of homosexual domestic abuse might be an area where he could actually do some good?
And, Bravest of All, are there any Gay folk on Slog who will tell Danny that teen mental illness is an actual problem that requires actual treatment and that blaming Xtians and glamorizing teen suicide are not part of the solution?
.
Of course, we kid ourselves.
Really would anyone expect a Homo to take on the Queer establishment head on this way?

Yep, the troll is angry. Of course, actual arguments (as opposed to 'here is what you should do' [for what reason? to please the troll?...]) are absent...
The good news implicit in this is that even trolly knows his time is running out, and that the culture is more and more against his viewpoint. One does tend to get angrier as one sees oneself turn into a minority.

no poem?

We are nearing Gommorah, it is true.
But it is not the trolls time who is running out.

The newest Chuck Smith Calvary branch is opening on Capitol Hill this next weekend (Erickson Theatre Midnight Service):

Maybe The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence could drop by to welcome them to the hood?

People, stop with this Jesus nonsense already, there is more evidence that "Jesus" was a literary device than an actual historical person.
22
And even if "Jesus" was real you can clearly see it as a nonsense ludicrous myth due to all the idiotic stuff like virgins, ghost sperm, walking on water, star trek-like replicators, zombies(of a whole town) etc..
