I think it is even part of the reason that The Prime freaking Minister of Great Britain, David Cameron* wants to push ANY same sex kissing to the late night hours of television. ( how tres' 20th century, thinking that the kiddies are watching broadcast tellie '
cause you know England has Noooo
real problems right now...
Tuesday night at the Houghton-Crawfords, its on, and look what we got in our second GLEE commercial break tonight:
COUNTLESS snaps to GOOGLE for putting this on/out there. Truth to power, and pass the tissues.
One very minor little footnote to the IT GETS BETTER CAMPAIGN, which is a wonderful fantastic endeavor by the wonderful and fantastic Dan Savage.
Ghost of decades past, Brett Easton-I'm not dead yet - Ellis did like a pound of left over cocaine last week and went on all sorts of tweeting , blogging and writing binges. He does not have a best mate B.Day to talk him down off the "BUT THE NEED TO KNOW WHAT I THINK ABOUT THEM " edge.
He said all sorts of nasty things about GLEE and then went on to attack IT GETS BETTER. He has since come down off his bender and sent all the appropriate muffin baskets and all is forgiven.( even thought he is , even sober it appears, a real jerk of a guy , I blame Bennington ) One thing that he did say, and yes the homo press ate him alive for it, but he said : It gets better ,because YOU get stronger ". I like this.. heresy I know, but.. the just sit around and life gets better sort of thing, erks me, just a tiny bit. YOUR skin does get thicker, you come to realize if someone does not like you for who you are , a zillion other folk LOVE you for just who you are. You grow up and out, and if you were bullied, you can leave them in your dust. Again, nothing at all bad about Dan Savage/It gets better. I just thought that like a broken clock, even ole B.E.E. is right every once in a while.
*About Mrs. David Cameron.
(and yes, this is a wedding flashback.)
The Prime Ministers spouse is not really comparable to The First Lady of the United States. He/She is just that , the PM's spouse, with the Sovereign being the head of state and all the important ribbon cuttings and tree plantings go here. BUT, they are still the partner of the head of His/Her Majesty's government, an important position with the country, that said :
If this were Tudor England, Samantha Cameron's head would be stuck on a pike in Whitehall! What she chose to wear to the Royal wedding was tantamount to treason.
NOT only is her head bare.... but it appears from this photograph, that so are her legs! A THIRD OF THE PLANET could have watched this wedding, and you could not run over to the corner for a pair of panty hose? Butt ugly shoes and a dress that could be worn to a first PTA meeting, but the main faux pas, is the hat. Yes, there is some sort of cheesy barrette stuck on the side of her head, but it might as well be a Nascar Banana Clip. Not really a wave on this side of the pond, but lots of folks just up in arms in the U.K.

I think the "It Gets Better" campaign is one of the smartest, most effective things I've seen in years. I have been encouraging teachers and parents to share it with ALL teens, not just those special enough to be gay and lesbian, because I can't imagine any troubled teen wouldn't find hope and inspiration in them.
