Yes. The Lavenders- good euphemism, by the way- are definitely rapidly wearing out their welcome. I'd like to see what happens the day that they suddenly realise that screaming "HOMOPHOBE!!!" at people will be greeted with nothing more than a shrug of amused indifference.

And that's if they're very lucky. If history tells us anything, it is that societies which were highly permissive of homogamy eventually became very unstable and very violent- toward homosexuals, in particular.

Mr. C. and I discussed this the other night, when it was top-dead-center on ESPN. His sister is gay. Big deal. I told him the Lavenders have both worn out their welcome with me and I don't like that they ruined the rainbow for me. He concurred; it's all about cashing in on "gay" versus being a respectable and valuable human in your own right (and wright).

I'm so over GAY.
