I saw my friend Jon post this video on facebook and I just about peed my pants. Prop 8 being ruled unconstitutional is stirring a whirlwind of backlash and reactions. Thankfully to balance all the ridiculous stupid shit said by ignorant people, a plethora of parody videos commenting about gay marriage are starting to emerge as they usually do.

It's so ridiculous and at the same time incredibly disheartening. I am a larger than life 'Molicious drag queen and therefore have become accustomed to stares and tactless commentary from random strangers. However, some of the hateful comments I have heard cross the boundaries of simple ignorance or disagreement on family values and has altered into an all out BRAWL. I wrote this comment on an article for the RGJ about the history of marriage and how same sex marriages have existed in cultures around the world. An individual then responded stating that I don't know what I am talking about and that I must be suffering from HIV dementia. I usually have a pretty tough skin but for whatever reason that comment just struck me. The insensitivity of this person's feeling toward an epidemic that has taken millions of lives - straight people, gay people, men, women, of all colors and creeds - is appalling. My hope that soon this will just be another dark chapter in the history of the United States. One that years from now we will look back on with shame for it happening and gratitude that we no longer find ourselves in it. There is a storm that is coming, a cultural backlash is on the horizon, it will just be interesting to see which way the wind blows.

I just recently re-discovered this youtube video of "Prop 8 - the Musical" starring such actors/actresses as John C. Reily, Jack Black, Allison Janey, Margaret Cho, and more. Even though I have seen it at least 50 times, I still die of laughter ever time I watch it. Enjoy!

Saying that I am a musical enthusiast would be an inadequate description of my feelings for musicals. I often think that many plays and movies would be more entertaining and enjoyable were they converted into a musical.

I get hooked on one musical and will listen to it on repeat until it has lost all worth or value. I usually don't even listen to the full score of the musical, and instead listen to my favorite songs within the musical.

At the moment I am currently addicted to the off-Broadway musical "Zanna Dont!" which stars former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Jai Rodriguez. This campy musical, set in a paralell world where straight people are the minority and chess players are hot studs, tells the story of a fairy matchmaker, on a mission to spread love throughout the world. Aside from the fantastic music the musical does promote positive messages of love - no matter who they are or what their gender or sex is. I think I also gravitated to this musical based upon what is currently happening in California with the Prop 8 trial. With testimonies about the sanctity of marriage and "experts" coming in to discuss and debate homosexuality I can't help but endulge myself in being transported to a world where acceptance occurs in less than 2 hours and through a fantastic group number.
