Gay rights and HGTV
Yay!  Someday soon, I may be able to marry a Canadian.  And he can even be a boy.  Yay, Canada, for making smart laws that treat everyone as humans and take into account that it's 2004, not  1754.

Of course, I'm sure there was hot gay sex even back then.  I know this to be true because I read book about it.  I think.  Or maybe I read a REVIEW of a book about it.  I'm very literary, you know.

One place we seen to have reached real equality as gay and lesbian people is on HGTV.  I watch HGTV all the time, because I'm very gay, and apparently like shows with low budgets, production values and formulatic themes (I swear, on Designer's Challenge, a very chirpy and coiffed Chris Harrison uses the same damn script every show, and just changes the names and project info.)

It seems like a couple of times a week, one show or another will go into a gay couple's home and show it off.  I used to think this was because gay people tended to have homes of great beauty and charm, and in a way, that's sort of true, but now, I'm starting to see gay couples on the "Oh my God, you live like a skank!" shows, such as Mission: Organization.  This is a great breakthrough, because honestly, you get a 30 minuite look into someone else's life, and often, that someone else happens to be a gay couple who are having trouble merging households and finding room for all the Kenneth Cole shoes and Fiestaware pottery. 

Now if only Middle America would catch on, we'd be all set, and I could marry somebody.  You know... assuming that anyone will EVER come along.

Freaky Middle America.

I could have swore that the infamous "straw wall" episode on TLC's Trading Spaces was a lesbian couple.

Gays on TV? Oh horror! Next thing I know you'll be telling me that Christopher Lowell is really gay.
