Probably cable t.v. and journalists, for now.

   It works for me just because I like some of the jokes. Margaret Cho's line Any government that would deny a gay man bridal registry is a fascist regime. Bill Marr's about how he never had a problem with gays, didn't care at all, then he had a proctology exam and now he thinks these people are just SICK.

What I don't like about gay marriage is that such a big change in cultural norms will make a lot of good old-fashioned stories and culture seem dated, confused, yellowed and dim--there will be footnotes and explanations, weary business, a lot of academic people saying "ACTUALLY..." about everything. I should be in favor of a better reflection of the realities of human nature in art and law and everything but I get tired, the conventions I know seem less trouble. New stock characters, plein-air gay-folk plot devices, social-issues enterprises, tedious discussions. The sooner it happens the better, with the least trouble, it's all like having to go to your wife's work-related party, or to the DMV to re-new your license.

I want to apologise for my previous post, I was irritable about something or other. I think gay marriage should and will be legal, but I don't think everybody has to like it. People are entitled to embrace their own point of view--there was just this one bullying point that got under my skin. Thanks Amos, sadly I too think I'm funny, and more than you do.
