Small town Mississippi gay bar. We can only imagine. . . .Why are we so obsessed with hate and sex anyway? Jews and Christians really crashed the party in this part of the world. I can't speak for our Eastern brothers and sisters, but we here in the West need to get our shit together.
On second thought, you Eastern mucks need to get in line too; Buddha or no Buddha, I've seen what you do to drag queens.
Slothrop: So forgive Slothy his ignorance, but why are gays (some gays? most gays? a few gays?) so flamboyantly weird? This is a serious question. As far as I understand, part of the difficulty has been the slow move toward equal rights and non-discriminatory assimilation with the sexuality which forms the majority, in terms of population. Why then does a significant portion of the population deliberately act and dress and toodle about in ways that all but guarantee further exclusion? This is not a judgment on any level but perhaps a fundamental biological question? Why do genes that carry code for homosexuality also carry code for rainbow wigs and eyeliner? And I think "weird" is the right word, in all its vagueness: if I wanted to join the chess club and walked into the room blaring N.W.A. while playing the trumpet, I should expect to be rejected. But my trumpet playing, N.W.A. blaring ways would be accounted for, mostly, by how I was raised. Given the percentage of gays that are flamboyant, their actions don't seem purely cultural, for that would be too great a coincidence.
I think all of the above is to merely ask: why don't straight people get to wear fetish gear to bars? Drinking beer from brown bottles is tremendously unsatisfying after a while.
