She is totally right. Tons of straight performers show up to sing a few ditties for the gays every year around this time. That really does not make you gay.
Being a lesbian and dating women is what makes you gay, ma’am. Get it together.

Well lookey what I found on the internet—my hometown being all Progressive and Forward.
::pause for the good feelings to marinate::
Back in the real world, I just read an article about a street name in Rock Hill, one of Charlotte’s larger suburbs. Just in time for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, I present:
This was so epic. I wasn’t an Ellen fan (we really didn’t watch corny white-people sitcoms in our house…no Friends…no Seinfeld…etc) but I did sneak and watch this. I really thought her career was over. They cancelled her show, she couldn’t get any work, and she just became “that gay lady.”

I remember being a little upset that the only gay character on DH turned out to be a psychopath. It was too close to home, a little too close to all of the older gay characters throughout the decades that were played as social deviants because homosexuality is a ‘disorder.’ But gay or not, he would’ve been a psychopath and the story was better because of the gay angle, so I got over it. Plus the two of them were kind of hot (in that generic white sort of way) so that was fun to see on network television.
Now he’s a gay alcoholic with a failed marriage…good job ABC. You can give him some redeeming qualities any day now.
I always felt way too old to be watching Degrassi…but we watched it every week in college anyway. And god forbid a marathon come on because No Work would get done that day. Marco was such a great character, really the first gay teen on TV that I could see myself in. Oh Degrassi, you really do Goes There.
LOL @ these two. And I’m not sure if y’all know this, but the ginger one totally flirted with me at a store in SoHo last year. So basically I’m famous now.
King Latifah wants you to know that performing at a gay pride parade does not make you gay.
