Bill O'Reilly: A Few Millennia Behind The Times

Oh Bill O'Reilly, you so old fashioned!  Mr. O'Reilly is worried that Glee, the popular musical teen dramedy that every single one of my gay friends adores, might encourage young people to experiment with homosexuality.  After all, watching James Dean smoke made him want to smoke! It just looked so cool!

Two things.  Well, three.
1. Smoking is cool.  It's super bad for your health, but it's cool.  It is not analogous to homosexuality, except that it looks pretty sexy with sexy people and pretty disgusting with unattractive people.
2. Young people have been experimenting with homosexuality since the dawn of PEOPLE.  Exploring your sexuality is a natural and normal part of puberty.  Deal with it.
3. If young men are watching Glee, odds are pretty good that they are gay.  Glee didn't make them that way, it might just help them embrace it and even empower them.

Watching Glee "makes" young people gay no more than watching Some Like It Hot turned men into cross-dressers.  Unless, of course, it had than pernicious influence on Bill O'Reilly...?  Come on Bill, are you that easily influenced?  The folks want to know.

Libya Doesn't Know About Mormons, India, or China

In a statement given yesterday (Feb 13), Libya issued a statement to the United Nation Rights Council that homosexuality will "affect religion and the continuation and reproduction of the human race."  The whole religion thing is a debate that I don't want to get into here, but let's look at the second half of that quote.  Libya is seriously concerned about the continuation and reproduction of the human race?  Libya has clearly never heard of the Mormons or certain groups of evangelical Christians (the Dugger family?), not to mention the entire countries of India and China.  Given the overwhelming ratio of boys to girls in China, homosexuality may be the only way to avoid some serious social unrest once those boys become men.
Come on, Libya.  The concern of a dwindling population is just not an issue.
