INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA ALIVE AND WELL

First, we must have to subscribe to the concept of "gay." I don't.

This video is not cute or funny at all. Aside from the fact that it's "playing with the issue," that video is stupid, stereotypical, and homophobic.

Most "gay humor" is stupid and stereotypical because by its very nature it must reduce and essentialize what "gay" is in order to laugh at it. It's along the same lines as when a black comedian does black jokes. He must generalize. It's false.

The fact that Ant plays up being a flaming queen and participated in this video shows how homophobia, especially internalized homophobia, is alive and well.

I don't like musicals. I would never join the Madonna fan club.

This video is not progressive, it's regressive.

Sorry to rain on your gay rainbow parade.

Leseraktion: Wir suchen die besten Slogans für die Hauptstadt

Berlin officials are offering five million euros to come up with a slogan for the city, along the lines of "I Love New York."

Ridiculous.

Do Paris or Rome have slogans? And if so, do we know what they are? Are they important? I don't know them.

My entries into the contest would be:

"Ahhh....Berlin!"

or

"Come to Berlin, get drunk, and spend all your money!"
