So unusual sexual practices are fine by GK, so long as they are practiced by heterosexual couples? Typical.

I initially refrained from responding to the comments here, primarily because of the incredibly reactionary flames it generated right off the bat. I will grant that the original post should have been phrased differently. But wow — it’s amazing how quickly people rush to judgement.

What’s even more amazing is how they jump to exactly the wrong conclusion — making the assumption that I was posting from some politically conservative anti-Keillor position.

Trust me — I’m definitely anti-Keillor, but my reasons have nothing to do with politics. Or t-shirts.

(Oh and PS: I’m not a teacher from Fridley. THAT was funny.)

Waitasecond? What?

The country has come to accept stereotypical gay men — sardonic fellows with fussy hair who live in over-decorated apartments with a striped sofa and a small weird dog and who worship campy performers and go in for flamboyance now and then themselves. If they want to be accepted as couples and daddies, however, the flamboyance may have to be brought under control. Parents are supposed to stand in back and not wear chartreuse pants and black polka-dot shirts. That’s for the kids. It’s their show.

It really takes somebody who doesn’t know a single gay parent to come up with that.

s4xton: you know I think you’re usually on target, and maybe the initial post could have been phrase less flame-like, but I do really think there’s something going on here with hypocrisy. (Of course, people are going to think I’m predisposed to say this for non-political reasons, but I’ll try to say this as convincingly as possible: I’d feel this way regardless of that stupid t-shirt thing. I think Keillor is a windbag, regardless.)
