SHOCK AND AWE
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! LANCE BASS GAY!
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! N'SYNC MEMBER GOES FOR GUYS!
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! SKY BLUE!
I mean, talk about not a surprise. Out of the three major boy bands of the 90's (four if you count O-Town [seriously, do not count O-Town {seriously}]), *Nsync, Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees, you had to know at least one of the guys was going to be gay. As far as *Nsync went Lance was the hands on favorite. Also, did you SEE "On The Line"? Not that I have or anything... but this ummmm... guy, I know. Wait no, a guy that I know knows a guy who saw it... in Canada. Because he lost a bet.
So Lance Bass likes guys, big whoop. Over 55% of the world likes guys. Your mom, for example, likes guys. Unless she doesn't, but if she's your mom, she at least faked it long enough for you to be here. I don't understand why this is news. At the moment we have people in outer space, Israel trying to blow Lebanon off the map, and the Brewers thinking of trading Carlos Lee, yet the big deal is that a dude and another dude are dating.
Trust me, if someone you don't even know personally coming out of the closet is breaking news, you're in for some world changing newsflashes over the course of your life.
So that's big news in the world of homosexuality, but I think this story also begs some consideration as well as at least a little outrage. Sergeant Copas, kicked out of the military for... c'mon I just said it, being gay. Besides being a decorated solider he also had a little skill in speaking Arabic. Which, as we all know, is a language that is kinda sorta in high demand right now, what with the entire Middle East doing its darndest to fold in on itself. But who cares about what he brings to the table skillwise, the man thinks Ben Affleck is DREAMY! Quick hold your breath, he might have left some gay in the air before he was discharged!
In A League Of Their Own Tom Hank's character is talking to Geena Davis about how he wasn't able to be drafted for the war because he has no cartilage in his knee. He starts bending his finger back and forth like he's pulling a trigger and says I can do this though, isn't this all you need? Shouldn't it be the same thing here? I have some friends in the military and I think it's incredibly brave of them to be willing to put their lives on the line for all of us considering the minimal benefits and the high possibility of dying on the job. If you're willing to make that sacrifice you should be congratulated and supported no matter whether you'd rather sleep with Brad Pitt or Jessica Alba. Or both. What you shouldn't be is punished for it.
Surprise! He's gay!
So what?

well said mr. w. well said.
to paraphrase lewis black - if only we could stop gays from marrying... we'd solve the energy crisis, end the unrest in the middle east and stop global warming.

To paraphrase Kinky Friedman - "gays should be allowed to marry - they should be allowed to be just as miserable as the rest of us."
I am very proud of this post, Matty. Especially coming from a small-town Wisconsin breeder who drinks beer. Goooooood job.
