Light in the loafers


So after White man Billy Clinton becomes the first Black President, straight man Barack Obama becomes the first Gay President.

Granted, this is Newsweek, the dying chickflick of dying dead-tree newsmagazines, but, Good Lord, no shame, no dignity, just stupid silliness.

The liberal obsession with Sacred Victim Groups only grows.

I SWEAR that the MSM varies the lightness-darkness tone of the president's face according to some semiotics. I'm not sure what, though. ... He's very light in this image, just as supporting marriage equality is expected really only of whites. But does the president have black horns in this image, rather like those of Michelangelo's Moses? and a weird mountain of hair that disappears in a cloud of some sort (as revealing a new legal dispensation from on high)?

Yup, he looks like the white actor who plays him on SNL.
There are those in Chicago who say he is gay, so maybe for once Newsweek is actually giving us the truth?

I suppose "gay" is pretty polyvalent. Maybe the Chicago crowd means "gay" as on the Simpson's television show, at least at one time, namely incompetent, ineffective, etc? ... For what it's worth, if anything: in terms of unpickwickian orientation, I don't pick up on a gay vibe from the current president, as I do from about 50% of the American presidents going back to Calvin Coolidge. ...Pickwickian gaydar helps one detect masons (js1443).

Let me emphasize that I don't use the word "gay" in as a universal term of disparagement as in Simpsons cartoons. I don't think I've ever used the word "retarded" in that way. ...

In fact, for some time now I've been using "transgender" as a general label for programmes and policies that are clumsy, awkward, etc, as in "Since the end of the Cold War American foreign policy has been almost totally transgender" or "Israeli settlements policies are so transgender."
