Gay of the Day: Freddie Mercury. Vote no on prop 8!!!!
No on 8 - If you are in LA there is a No on 8 rally downtown on Sunday.
The Gay of the Day is the Late Great Freddie Mercury.
Cuz, Mercury a wild gay man who died in 1990, has had a lasting effect on "straight" sports culture. As a sports fan I always love when certain standards are played on the loudspeakers (YMCA) and thousands of macho straight guy start singing songs written by intense, talented, out there gay guys...many of these same sports fans will vote to strip gays of basic rights this Tuesday....many will not...
I don't know if "diversity" is a useful value or not. As it is preached now, I doubt it . I do know creation/life/God/evolution puts a high value on and thrives in complexity. Life is complex. People are complex. Making room for the COMPLEXITY of life is something we all need to work on. (come to think of it, screw "diversity" - pseudo liberals of ruined this word, too. All it means now to Obama "liberals" is that people of different hues all think alike. - yeah THAT's diverse...)...
Sometimes gay folks write songs that straight sports fans sing loudly and often... it's a complex world - pay attention!
Enjoy Mr. Mercury:
