I saw this and loved it. As it was explained in the show's prologue the term "faggot" was being used not only as slang for gay but to describe anyone that dared to live outside of Society's perceived norm. Thus the Catherine the Great scene made sense. The scene with Marilyn child was a hoot. A straight woman who opened a gay bar named after her abusive longshoreman father, singing a torch song parody!
