Do you thk that gay fai are an even stickier wicket than gay marriage? People tend to sexualize anythg homosexual. Advertisers are not gog to advertise bee ’s a gay that’s what a gay work told you?

5. JUDY GOLD IS THE GAY AGENDA!

The gay work, when I pched , they said, “Where’s all the sex? The gay work was at that time ed to “The L Word” and shows like that, and maybe if shows like that were totally real, there would be more gay ncept sounds pretty, that’s what’s so funny about . And when I thk of some lonely kid on a farm the middle of nowhere, who knows he’s gay or she’s gay and don’t know what his or her life n be, for her or him to be able to put on the TV and say, “Oh, my God, I n have this, ” or for my kids to be able to see a fay like theirs on televisn, that would be an unbelievable tone.

People don’t thk of children when they thk of gay marriage, but I do have children and for them to see their fay validated as other fai are validated and protected by our ernment, y. But I really do not want to get married until the Supreme Court overturns DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act] and until our feral ernment acknowledg gay marriage or a gay relatnship.

There are 1, 128 feral benefs that even [gay] people who are legally married certa stat do not get. There are plenty of gay relatnships that have clearly fed genr rol, but I thk genr rol, pecially wh the women’s rights movement, have changed a lot.

A GAY TWIST ON JEWISH MOTHER JOK

This is an issue that gay relatnships do share wh femists who are straight. I turned 7 at the end of that year, and y, I knew I was gay. ) The fact that they even entertaed the possibily of gay marriage still stupefi me.

We’re talkg about a time when homosexualy was still nsired a mental illns, and the two exceptnal women ci that their relatnship is jt as valid as that of a hband and wife. Stand-up edian Judy Gold says she will talk food, Hurrine Irma and beg gay when she plays Orlando next week.

But gay fans n expect to hear Gold sound off at length. Gold said she has always thought of herself as a stand-up who happened to be gay. She relled when edian Bob Smh went on stage the 1980s and talked about beg gay durg the AIDS crisis.
