These days it is the gay tail that wags the American dog. In the sixties it was the Black tail that wagged the dog. Black injustice, Black pride, Black esteem, Black History Month, Kwanza, major TV productions about slaves made to seem interminable by their monumental earnestness, heavy-handed sermonizing, and pious heroes.
Then in the eighties the feminist tail began to wag the dog. Women's injustice, women's abuse, women's discrimination, women's pride, women's self-esteem, female political correctness, the glass ceiling, women in the army, women in combat, gender equality, sexual equality, pay equity.
Both of these transforming trends have attenuated slightly in the recent past, having resulted in many changes in the society -- some good and perhaps some not so good.
Now the tail wagging the dog is gayness. Of course homosexuals began their crusade in earnest in 1969, but AIDS cast a dark cloud over their emancipatory momentum for a long time. Now they are back with a full and advanced agenda. You can't open your morning paper without some headline that refers to a gay issue. Gay priests, gay marriage, sodomy laws, gay plays, gay movies, and now a spate of new TV programs featuring gay characters and issues -- Grace and Will, Boy meets Boy, and the new universally popular Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
The latter has become so popular that Bravo has a new one-hour episode each week, plus nine or ten replays a week at various times. This is clearly not a New York City phenom or even a bi-coastal thing. It seems to have captured the interest of much of America.
What's it all about? Bravo has recruited five gay men -- the Fab Five, Bravo calls them -- who they say are experts in fashion, food, interior design, grooming, and relationships. To quote Bravo, "Each week their mission is to transform a style-deficient and culture-deprived straight man from drab to fab in each of their respective categories?. " It's a full lifestyle make-over -- a make better show where straight guys turn in their pleats for flat fronts, learn about wines that don't come in a jug, and come to understand why hand soap is not a good shampoo (and vice versa). When the journey is done, a freshly scrubbed, newly enlightened, ultra hip man emerges. Again to quote Bravo, "The series was created by David Collins, a gay man, and developed by David Metzler, a straight man -- a union of sensibilities that gives the show its depth, humor and edge."
It takes only a brief glimpse of the show to see what makes it so popular...

That is not a pretty image.
oh good. Glad that there are a few left. Sometimes all I consider is the wife and her friends / family. Liberals all.
Wife is an ongoing project. I'm slowly bringing her over. Asking her to look over our tax forms this past year was a big help. "We paid HOW much???!!"
Wife's friends are all gay or liberal. They love that 'Queer Eye' crap and like men that are 'fashionable'. Of course, they also want a man who's not afraid to kill big spiders and crawl underneath the house to fix the plumbing.
Call me crazy, but I imagine that it's pretty hard to get both. All of my male friends are either one or the other. :-)
Gee, I ended up doing some of this. Crawl spaces are seldom as bad as imagined, and it just always impresses the heck out of people that I went looking for evidence of termites myself, rather than trust to an inspector.
I do confess I prefer a full basement.
No pun intended, right? =-D.
This isn't about Georgie and Brucie falling in love, although they happen to be of the same gender. Shut the Christians up first, make homosexuality socially acceptable and legal--then, as the "stupid" Christians were so wrong about homosexuality, then they are full of bovine manure concerning pedophilia, and THUS THAT MUST BE LEGALIZED, ALSO!!!
The homosexual agenda is all about bending boys over less than 8 years old and sodomizing them until they are near dead, mommies, for they have this wacked out idea that somehow they gain magical, mystical, supernatural powers from screwing some lad to death.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't especially like to crawl around under the house. Someone needs to do it, though. :-)
Now there's a level-headed assessment.
Does that tail wag or does it swoosh?
If you can stomach it, try "Bravo" on the tube. It's enough to make you puke.
They have numerous "gay" programs on now, my wife commented about it - reality dating shows, wannabe cow"Boys", makeovers, etc.
The inferance is that homosexuality is normal and acceptable.
God thinks differently.
