Welcome to George W.'s Amerika.
I wrote and performed political satire to help raise money for Ann Richards'
gubanitorial campaign beginning in 1988. I performed at her inaugural gala in
1991. She was a fan of my comedy group's work and we were fans of her. I wrote
a speech for her once.
George W. Bush was elected Governor of Texas because his name was George Bush
and people were pissed off that a draft-dodging, pot-smoking, womanizing
communist was President of the United States. That's it.
Personally, I like the idea of having a draft-dodging, pot-smoking, womanizing
communist as President of the United States. But that's just me.
As a gay man, I feel very much the way a Jew must have felt during the
elections of 1932 in Germany. What can I do to stop it?
I am afraid. I am very afraid.
These people want to deny my equality under the law. They want to deny my
queer community's existence. They want us to either die or otherwise vanish
into their heterocentric fantasy.
This is fascism ladies and gentlemen.
Do something.
