Great -- Joan Rivers is against marriage equality |
|
I can't believe I rooted for her on "Celebrity Apprentice." I should have rooted for Annie Duke (even if I didn't like her AT ALL!!!). She said on Larry King last night: "Gay marriage, I am so against it because all my gay friends are out. And if they get married, it will cost me a fortune in gifts."

14. Sure, maybe it was stupid not to immediately see the joke |
|
But where do you get off with your condescending replies? At least I try to make meaningful posts here, that raise awareness and inform our community. You don't need to reply that way.

Ones that raise awareness and inform "our" community?
Wow, just wow.

I just said that because I don't think I deserve a sarcastic reply like that. Because I contribute a lot here. I should be allowed to be momentarily confused about a post and not get a bunch of crap for it. But no.. "these people don't know me", and you win a prize, and I'll roll my eyes.

Who cares how long I have been here? I only said that to emphasize that my original post was just an innocent question and the sarcastic replies were unnecessary. Just like yours.
I was in no way implying that LostinVA doesn't make meaningful posts. Anyway, its responses like this that discourage my activism. I'm on here all the time posting any sort of update with regards to same-sex marriage, refreshing news stories, letting everyone know we are finally getting the rights we deserve, etc. But then you wanna come along and diminish my credibility? Whatever.

It takes time to get used to some posters posting styles--LostinVA does sarcasm so often, I think she assumes we all know there's a :sarcasm: thingy in her post. You know, like it's part of her username.

She's really saying she has a lot of gay friends, and her only objection to their being able to marry is that it would cost her money!

I know she was trying to be funny, but she really flubbed a moment to say something positive about gay marriage.

21. See I don't understand your position at all. |
|
Anyone who knows a thing about Joan Rivers, know:
(A) Her comedy consists of fierce sarcasm, including many jokes about herself.
and
(B) She is a friend of gays and lesbians.
Do you think there are people on the fence about gay marriage that are waiting for Joan Rivers to give a serious talk about the need for equality?
Are people going to say, oh look, Joan made a joke so gay marriage must not be an important issue?
I think not.
If anything, I think her joke is mocking the preposterous stances of the right wing.
I couldn't be less offended by what Joan Rivers said and I'm happy she's on our side.

I heart Joan so much. And I love that she got drag queens to save the day. And also? That LGBTs were prominently featured in terms of her charity, etc.
She's always been a friend to us

37. Unlike the President, Joan Has Earned the Right to Make Gay Jokes |
|
She's been a huge supporter of GLBT people since long before it was okay to be (as I know LostinVA knows).
Every time I think of that picture of her at Prince Charles & Diana's wedding holding the blender with the bow around it, I crack up. And that was, like, 25 years ago!
