Reality Check

So Eminem was in on the Bruno  gag- I was fooled. It won’t be the first or last time.  Kudos to Eminem and his entourage for “playing it straight”... I thought Sacha Baron Cohen wouldn’t have done it that way, only because a prank within a prank where nothing is real might seem kind of lame.

But either way, it was executed well.  Outside of Bruno’s world of fake gay drama and real homophobia, what isn’t lame is the state of New Hampshire’s decision to legalize gay marriage. And how about the two attorneys who opposed one another in the 2000 Bush V. Gore Supreme Court case teaming up in order to fight the common enemy of discrimination against gays as it pertains to the “opposite marriage” issue?

The tide is turning, and I don’t want to be distracted during this exciting time.  Because anytime the ass of Justice drops into the face of Discrimination, it’s a good thing.  Don’t get me wrong, I love pop culture.  But what I love even more is when real culture, common sense, and the idea of right prevailing over wrong comes together.  That feels good. 

And it’s definitely no joke.

Positively Yours,
Shawn
