The Hate That Dare Not Speak Its Name

Posted on | April 22, 2010 | 12 Comments

Yes, friends, I’m talking about . . . heterophobia:

Veteran Rep. Babette Josephs (D., Phila.) last Thursday accused her primary opponent, Gregg Kravitz, of pretending to be bisexual in order to pander to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender voters, a powerful bloc in the district.
“I outed him as a straight person,” Josephs said during a fund-raiser at the Black Sheep Pub & Restaurant, as some in the audience gasped or laughed, “and now he goes around telling people, quote, ‘I swing both ways.’ That’s quite a respectful way to talk about sexuality. This guy’s a gem.”
Kravitz, 29, said that he is sexually attracted to both men and women and called Josephs’ comments offensive.
“That kind of taunting is going to make it more difficult for closeted members of the LGBT community to be comfortable with themselves,” Kravitz said. “It’s damaging.”

    But Stacy, as noted in one of John Waters’ seminal works of art: the world of hetrosexuals is a sick and boring life!

    Off topic, but a post Stacy will be sure to love. Rubio, Crist and Meek in a three way.

    (not the type of three way Crist might like).

    There’s an easy way to check this. Spring a pop Ethel Merman impression in him. If he joins in on the second verse of “Everything’s coming up roses” he’s gay.

    Judy Garland, Cher and Madonna work equally well for gay-testing purposes. No gay man can resist singing along with Madonna’s “Holiday.”
