Is anyone else conjuring up images from Cradle Will Rock? I think the government tried to tell us what we could write and perform in once before, right? and I believe our response was to continue doing whatever the hell we wanted. First Communism and now omosexuals? Somehow I don't see how these two are the same threat to America. Oh that's right Homos aren't a threat. Bush is afraid of what he doesn't know and he doesn't know a whole hell of a lot.

He wants to stop stem cell research too because he's afraid that they will clone an intelligent version of him.

This incident also has been making me think of WPA and "Cradle Will Rock" all day...
We should perform the play about beaver communists for Bush.

I love Jon Stewart. Last night on Larry King he talked about the homophobia in America. He said if it was such an abomination against God how come it didn't make it into "The Top Ten?"

So let's start with that list. Maybe this administration should consider the following before they attack...


I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT HAVE strange gods BEFORE ME.
Does this include the President? Judge not lest ye be judged, asshole.

THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
Well, that would exclude practically every play, film, album and TV show that is not shown on one of the top networks with the exception of Barney and Spongebob.

REMEMBER THOU KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY.
Close all theatres on Sunday, also, no Football, TV, Nascar or tractor pulls. No flea markets or church carnivals.

HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER.
What, no Simpsons?

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
No Shakespeare, Tarintono, or executions in Texas. Not to mention Iraq.

THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
I think Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, might have something to say about this one.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
Well, there goes Les Miz! Not to mention Enron, social security, and new taxes!

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
What, no Musto? Cindy Adams? Liz Smith? C’mon, now your pushing it.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE.
But that Bush Mama is such a hottie.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS.
So I can’t dream of living in the White House?.


PEACE.

Please Remember that not ALL republicans are pigs...just most.

Apart from that this is DISGUSTING!
This world is so biggotted I can not stand it.

Side note-Elton John is not an American citizen thus has no voice when it comes to who is elected president of the US. He was being given a HUGE honor by the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. Even though he might hate Bush's guts that is a big deal.

When I was done screaming at my father for raising me in a country that treats people as second-class citizens based on who they love, I came up with a plan:


No sex for anyone opposed to gay marriage! We'll Lysistrata them! Who's with me?

Brilliant post, Auggie. Elton has very confused and conflicted views lately. I wish he would stand by them. I wouldn't have accepted the medal from Shrubya. In fact, I would have refused it at the ceremony.

Brilliant post to you robbiej. I think wallet values is why most people voted for Bush--that and fear. And, people really are shooting themselves in the foot.

And, I'm not moving to Canada--I'm going to stay and fight!

And, anyone who would criticize another country for commenting on the U.S. is just plain ignorant. Our media spends most of its time commenting on issues outside the U.S. If countries need to mind their own business, then why are we constantly in other countries'? Just moronic thinking!

Well, if I didn't think that this was little more than babble, I'd be more upset.

If it is true, I am sad.

It is a matter of record that Katherine Hepburn rejected the offer of a Kennedy Center Honor until Reagan and BushI were out of office - and she was blunt about the reason for her refusal.

I want to add that this isn't as big a worry as it might sound on the production front. Most theatre doesn't depend on government support. They depend on subscriptions, private, foundation and corporate donations, and ticket sales.

What we need to worry about is if a domino effect of this mentality affects the others. And, we need to worry that gay theatre scripts are going to be affected in libraries, etc.

As The Daily Mirror asked:

“How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb?”


I ask myself this question all the time.

Trust me; Bush' term in the White House will not last. He has alread escaped one assasination attempt this year, I feel he has plenty more coming his way. And it prolly won't be the Taliban at this point...he's too adept at pissing off his own countrymen.

Okay, come on now, you don't like his policies and I assume that most of the people on this board don't like them as well but don't get carried away.

This would probably be more effective. This is a suggestion from a blog called Diary of a Mad Librarian:

Dear all, I ask you to join a protest against Gerald Allen, the legislator who wants to bury all books with homosexual main characters.
There's two steps:

Step One:
Let him know what he's trying to ban! Choose a worthwhile book that his proposed law would ban, and send it to him.

State House:
Rep. Gerald Allen
Room 531
11 S. Union Street
Montgomery, AL 36130
(334) 242-7758

District Address:
Rep. Gerald Allen
8200 Old Hargrove Road East
Cottondale, AL 35453
(205) 556-5310

Step Two:
Please spread the word.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
