Essay 785


Showing our pride with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Gay Games VII is set to start on July 14 in Chicago. “Chicago is a great gay and lesbian destination, but it’s never been seen globally the same way as San Francisco or Amsterdam or New York,” said a spokesman. “The Gay Games puts in the minds of the international traveling public that Chicago is a great gay and lesbian destination.” All visitors are encouraged to catch a White Sox game (see Essay 757).

• The highest courts in New York and Georgia ruled against gay marriage. Can anyone guess where they won’t be holding Gay Games VIII?

• Michael Jackson said he was surprised to learn a former associate produced gay porn. The King of Pop made the statements during a videotaped testimony played at his latest court drama. When asked how he knew it was gay pornography, Jacko said, “Because it was. I was shown a videotape. [The former associate] … was directing two guys naked from head to toe telling them what to do with each other. They were touching their penises. I was surprised that was what he was doing. It was inappropriate, knowing what my agenda is.” Gee, it sounds almost as inappropriate as sleeping with young boys.

• A watchdog group reported that the military’s recruiting troubles have resulted in “large numbers of neo-Nazis and skinhead extremists” joining our armed services. A Defense Department investigator was quoted as saying, “Recruiters are knowingly allowing neo-Nazis and white supremacists to join the armed forces, and commanders don’t remove them from the military even after we positively identify them as extremists or gang members.” Guess the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy applies to hate groups too.
