Years ago I was into political dystopian/utopian literature. (Back in the day before it was cool, I was such a dystopian hipster.) I read a book a professor passed on to me that was a utopia based on the idea that if every single person had equal access to producing media (their own TV channel or show IIRC), everyone would have their say, and that would somehow create this amazing society. Obviously this was before YouTube.

I kind of imagined it would look more like hundreds of millions of Bears and Lords! channels

Back in the good old days of Murica when christianists would go on and on against that satanic 'miscegenation'...

Can't find the cartoon but I recall a New Yorker cartoon--a middle-aged couple, presumably married, sitting in comfortable chairs set at an angle not quite facing each other. She looks outraged, he is looking at the newspaper and saying "Don't gay people have enough problems already--why would they want to get married?"

It's not hard to find *cough* senior citizens who are uncomfortable about gays. For a long time older black folks have wanted to deny it in their own demographic and have said that gay sex is a freaky white thing. Younger African-Americans, like younger whites, are much more tolerant and rational about it. IMO, Gordon Dingleberry is exploiting these people in a weird racist kind of way: "See here, liberals? You like black people so much, well, black people agree with ME on gay-bashing!" As far as I'm concerned, that dog won't hunt.

Even in fully consensual S&M with safe words and other stuff, nailing it down is extreme. Unless I am confused regarding the antecedent of "it".

How is it that your god appointed you as Chief Demon Sniffer Of All Teh Gaydom? Maybe I have skillz too and can see that there's a evil demon that has curled itself around your widdle pea-brain causing you to mouth the hateful words of a nasty bigot. See how that works? Spin your head a few times around that. And for your contrition, I decree that Gordo ShittKlinger joins you and Perfesser Trilby for Dingleberry-flavored group sex. Off Screen, like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay away off screen, please!!!!

I worked at Grand Canyon around the time Thelma and Louise came out. It's like it was raining cars.

Also too, maybe part of the reason I never got married.
