Now, I’m not the biggest all around fan of my country, but I would venture a guess that, while a majority of Americans may not be FOR gay marriage in so many words, the majority are not actively against us or, perhaps, against us at all, not to mention that there are plenty of gay couples that don’t want marriage at all and feel it is a defunct social institution. As for my country having ‘so many issues’ accepting gay relationships, I would say we’re not the only ones. It’s not like we’re the last ones holding out, clinging to traditional marriage structures… I mean, have you seen the rest of the world? The places where gay marriage is possible are really few and far between. <BR/><BR/>Also, the ‘NORMAL’ I was referencing was not that fact that it was a LESBIAN couple but, rather, that they were just a couple, regardless of gender. It was two people, hanging out, who love each other. That’s normal. Love is normal. Wanting to give your heart to someone and get hers back in return? NORMAL.<BR/><BR/>Media is the most powerful tool we have for changing people’s minds and trying to bring them around to understanding. I mean, what else do you suggest? Brainwashing? Chip implantation? What? Ellen’s visibility has had noted effects on people’s perceptions and acceptance of lesbians, no matter how distanced that is. Media does not exist in a vacuum and doesn’t transmit into a vacuum. That’s like arguing that the increased visibility of the LGBTQ community in media isn’t an indication that the times, they are a changin’.<BR/><BR/>Finally, if you don’t think Ellen bringing Portia on the show was political, well… And she has been vocal in the fight against Prop. 8. That’s political. As for Oprah… you know that she campaigned WITH Obama, right? Last time I checked, the presidential race? Political.<BR/><BR/>Sorry ‘bout that Ms. Snarker… sometimes, I just can’t control myself. :PNorma Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064997154001326287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-89175117526076769122009-03-17T15:46:00.000-07:002009-03-17T15:46:00.000-07:00Way to go!!!!

I was so into Portia when she was on Ally McBeal (remember how she never took her hair down at work?
