Have you heard? Margaret Cho got kicked out of a gay event (she was supposed to be the headliner) during the Democratic convention in Boston because they were afraid she might offend some Republicans.

It reminds me of a scene in a Madeline Olnek play I mentioned earlier on bloggy.

Senator Rick Santorum on the anti-gay marriage amendment:

"I would argue that the future of our country hangs in the balance because the future of marriage hangs in the balance," he said shortly before the vote. "Isn't that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?"

As a New Yorker, I'm pretty sure that gay marriage is NOT the biggest danger we face.
