stage door demo for Ripley's FAG slur Thurs. at 10 pm — Page 10

Will Lin-Manuel Miranda translate half the lyrics into Crazy?

I KID! I KID! Loved Ms. Ripley in NEXT TO NORMAL. And I especially loved her Audrey in LITTLE SHOP. She was just magnificent, and I wish they kept her for the Broadway production.

Oh good lord! WHO was ever planning on going? Did one person besides the original poster say ANYthing about going? Not that I can remember. Damn, they will run with anything.

And the apology was well said and totally accepted.

"JG2, I think (hope!) everyone's just joking now."

I dunno... type Alice's name into the search on Twitter - it's pretty crazy.

With all this coverage now I wonder if people actually are going to show up for the "protest"

I think that's fair enough, and your point is taken. Mind you, I do not like Perez and find him to be something of a scourge, but I still land on the side of gay people being able to use the word.

I think Sharon Stone and Alice were both born in the same town in Crazyland.


“I’ve been called a bitch — and a lot worse — for years. And you know what, so what? [Italics hers] People who think that aren’t going to change their minds. And I wouldn’t dream of sending them to therapy to ‘rehabilitate’ their feelings. How absurd. … Please, I call all my gay friends ‘big fags.’”

That’s actress Sharon Stone referring to the Isaiah Washington Incident, as quoted by gossip columnist Liz Smith.

Unfortunately, Stone doesn’t tell us if she calls all her straight male friends “big pricks,” her lesbian friends “big dykes,” or her straight female friends “big ****s.” It’s equally unfortunate that we never learn the colorful names Sharon Stone calls her black friends, her Jewish friends, her Episcopalian friends, or her Western Samoan friends (if any).

MrMidwest, are you saying Sharon Stone's straight friends have big pricks? If you know any of them, please send them my way. Including that ex-husband.

"Yeah, I found the "Where was all this during the Newsweek article and Bush years" thing more funny than serious."

Well, yea.

Oh, the percieved outrage some people have.

I'm seeing more anger from a small group of queens about this than I saw in 8 years of Bush in office.

But, whatever floats your boats...

Yes, Capn, your insistence on turning this conversation into a discussion about M&Ms pretty much made your thoughts clear.

I don't think I've used the phrase Fag Hag since 1993 or so, for what it's worth.

Oh - and I think why Alice Ripley - because she pejoratively used the word Fag in her Facebook post and then said a lot of strange things before finally apologizing.

I know. I was just responding to Capn's nonsense.

I know, baby. Don't be such a baby! (Notice I didn't say FAG!)

I responded with nonsense to nonsense.
