Insert Clever Witty Title That Won't Be Fully Appreciated Here

This was actually going to be a post at Mr Lefty's post about how the batters-for-the-other-team-not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that got the thumbs up for the with-this-no-pun-intended-ring-I-thee-wed in California, but it got a bit long. (Did that sentence make any sense? No? Good.)

Sometimes it's hard to imagine our puritan image of America allowing this sort of thing, but realistically, they're still the ones that brought us Sex and The City, Queer Eye, Baywatch, etc.

When I was young(er), you couldn't even swear on TV - Lethal Weapon just isn't the same on DVD if they don't say 'frig' - and who could forget Eddie Murphy’s terribly edited boss in Beverly Hills Cop? AO indeed.

Now we’ve got women (and even men sometimes) waving their wobbly bits, and using the f and even the c word on the boob toob. AND both genders have been making of the whoopee with the (MS Word just corrected my spelling of ‘whoopie’ with ‘whoopee’ – learn something new everyday) uh.. making the whoopee with their respective genders. Quite often. And it’s celebrated – the personality stereotype is anyhow.

This is of course merely the television aspect of it, but it all rings true.

“OMG! There’s a swing to the right!”

I think that’s silly. “Oh but there’s a backlash to gay marriages! Swing to the right I say”

As opposed to when?

Were there gay marriages in the 17th century?

There’s no swing there, if anything, the progressives got a little too post-modern and we got a bit of a kick in the pants.

A righty buddy said to me: “you can’t have gays marrying! What’s next? A guy can marry his dog?!”

Me: *blank stare*

But he conceded, it is bound to happen, but he just doesn’t like it. As Lefty says – it’s a bit icky.

Making a mess of a public toilet is icky - it affects others.

So to all those evangalists, and others stuck in the past:
Rock music was sent by the devil? Old.
Rock music was sent by Jesus? New.

Burn the witch! Old.
Harry Potter helps children! New.

Homosexual marriage is evil? Old.
Homosexual marriage is normal? New.

Male pope? Old.
Gay female pope? New.

We won't make a big deal of it when you come over to play in our pool, I can see you dipping your toes in. Notice the warmth? Jesus-ish warmth? That's the way. Don't feel too bad, humans are fallible after all, you knew not what you did.
