1. Hmmm

Let’s get back to the jokes. How did you feel about them as a lesbian? Is there anything wrong with a good lesbian joke?
I believe that gays and feminists are far too sensitive about what they feel are defamatory stereotypes out there. Like the protests over “Basic Instinct” in 1992. I thought they were ludicrous. We cannot have political consciousness constantly dictating the free give and take of everyday life. I would reject anyone saying, ‘Oh, it’s offensive to lesbians.’ But I have to say, what we are seeing is that behind the PC liberal facade of so many politicians who fawn all over women’s rights, groups and issues, there’s still the same old opportunistic Don Juanism. There’s still a predatory attitude of powerful men toward women who are dazzled by their positions. It’s an epidemic in politics. It’s male voraciousness with female witlessness, exhibitionism and self-proffering for ritual sacrifice. As Henry Kissinger said, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. It would take a saint among these men to resist the women of every age flinging themselves at their feet.

2. So, someone else told a joke and Bill took some flak?

[Deja Q]

3. Well, it seems we're both confused...

They're politicians. I see no reason why I need to be told to like a politician. Especially when they've signed into law anti-gay bills. Such as the DOMA... The "Defense Of Marriage Act".

And I'm stopping at this point. This isn't GD or GD: P...

4. Exactly

Lots of people have friends in groups who are targets of thier bias. There's always an explanation for why the group is bad but so-and-so is different.

Not that I believe Bill has a bias against GLBT people, but since he has a track record of not standing up for them (on "don't ask dont tell," DOMA) he shouldn't get any applause just for talking to a lesbian and (whatever the hell Anne Heche identifies as, I can't keep track) at a party.

5. Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you. The story seemed vague to me...

It said someone else had told a lesbian joke. I say :wtf:
