Adam Lambert from American Idol (which I've never watched) is on the cover of Rolling Stone talking about how he's gay and took psychedelic mushrooms at Burning Man. It's always kind of funny, and kind of annoying to see how long it takes the mainstream to acknowledge things that many of us have known about/experienced for so long that we're kind of bored by them now. I'm really tired of hearing people say they're "proud" to be gay.
Look. Being gay is not something you should have to be ashamed of. But it's not something to be PROUD of, either. Let's find a nice middle ground where you don't have to be either ashamed or proud, you can just be yourself without going to either extreme. Stonewall happened a long time ago, you know. Dick Cheney just came out in support of gay marriage, for chrissakes. (Not that it matters, since Dick Cheney no longer - thank God - holds any public office.)
Speaking of which...this weekend is Gay Pride. I may attend some of it, out of curiosity. It's really just an excuse to party for a couple days, drink, and possibly hook up, right? That by any other name would be as fun.
