All Gay All the Time

This is bizarre, especially when you look at the actual statistics which show that as few as 2% of the general population identify themselves as “gay.”

Writing last month in USA Today, conservative radio host Michael Medved noted, “UCLA's Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy offered a new estimate of homosexual identification: concluding that 1.7% of Americans say they're gay, and a slightly larger group (1.8%) identified as bisexual....”

Despite the small numbers (and Medved cites a different study that puts the number at only 1.4%), this issue seems front and center everywhere.

When The Flintstones theme first crowed, “we’ll have a gay, old time,” it would have been difficult to imagine how the meaning of that phrase has changed to a cultural phenomenon sweeping the nation.

June might have been the wedding month of yesteryear, but this month the president declared, “NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA , President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2011 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.” [Emphasis his]

Look at TV. In September 2010, The New York Times noted that homosexual television characters are at a record high.

Look at schools, where the children might not learn basic historical or mathematical facts, but they do learn that “Heather has two mommies.”

From coast to coast, the push for same-sex marriage is in the headlines. The controversial Proposition 8 voter referendum in California to define marriage as between one man and one woman has been overturned in federal court (nullifying the votes of seven million people) and is on appeal. In New York, the legislature has just voted to legalize same-sex marriage . Historically, these things have been imposed on “we the people” by judicial fiat.

The first official same-sex marriage in the United States was between two lesbians in Massachusetts in 2004, brought about by an ACLU lawsuit. Thanks to judicial fiat in that state, the 1780 constitution, written largely by John Adams, was twisted by that state’s highest court to impose same-sex marriage.

Incidentally, that first legal same-sex marriage has already ended in divorce.

What has happened in Massachusetts as a result of the legalization of same-sex marriage?

The jingles are chirpy breakfast reworkings of well-known tunes ("It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" becomes "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Day") and backing music is either snazzy jazz or suitably stirring (the Black Beauty theme).




Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour

This movie was inspired by the incredible poster artwork Jaime Hernandez created for Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour. View the poster here - goodcomics.comicbookresources.com - If you haven't yet heard Dylan as DJ I suggest you do! His outstanding weekly show can be found on the XM Satellite Radio network. Ellen Barkin introduces each episode of Theme Time Radio Hour with an evocative vignette describing the nocturnal activities of the restless characters living in the big city. It is from these spoken word vignettes that Hernandez was inspired to create his artwork. The illustration is detailed with many of Ellen Barkin's night time characters - some asleep, some consumed in thought, others burning the midnight oil long into the night. Prostitutes, homeless men, drunks, lost souls and lovers intersect near a street corner of the Abernathy building. I was so fascinated by the world within this poster I set about finding all the spoken word vignettes and weaving them together into a whole. I started from show number one and worked my way through the spoken word introductions of all 50+ episodes of Theme Time Radio Hour. The following movie is my modest attempt to bring to life the inhabitants of the mythical Abernathy Building and the art created by Jaime Hernandez. As featured on BoingBoing!... boingboing.net Enjoy!
