I have no interest in transvestitism (and frankly, drag-queens creep me out), but this sort of thing has always been a part of popular culture, from Milton Berle's cross-dressing (which I never found amusing) to Dame Edna (whom I have never found unamusing). Why is this a problem?

"Why is this a problem" Milton Berle's routines (which I never found funny either) were comedy routines. This is not meant as comedy.

Milton Berle did not cross-dress as a precurser to a diatrabe on gay marriage.
I'm only 41 years old, but I don't really recall too many comedy routines from classic television that had to do with gay marrriage (which I find very freaking amusing).

Why is this a problem? One is a comedy routine, the other is a political statement.
The actor wrote in Wednesday's New York Times that he would portray Mrs. Claus and used it as jumping-off point for a discussion of gay marriage.
