Queer Winds Blowing Ahead

The spring blitz continued over the weekend. We got a call at 9:00 Friday night, telling us that our son needed to be at a ball diamond sixty minutes away by 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Yuck. I spent all morning Saturday at the field, suffering through my self-inflicted suffering (my wife didn't want him in the league; I kinda did, plus I wanted to help out a friend who needed Jack to round out the team). But the good news: I got through the entire current issue of *New York Magazine*, and I can say without qualms: The gay culture is more twisted and more intent on sodomizing society than I thought. First, there's this story: [Women who become "men," so they can date men](http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/66064/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). This odd creature is called a "transman," presumably because "Forkin' Nut-job" is too generic. *NY Mag*, of course, treats it all as perfectly normal: "He's an exemplar for a new generation less concerned with gender boundaries." Ah yes, gender boundaries, kinda like the boundary of my yard, which I walk across all the time. I understand now. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* That chilled my spine enough, but then later, starting on page 36, I read about the networks' intent to take the battle of normalizing queerness to the next level. [*NYM* can't contain its excitement about "Modern Family,"](http://nymag.com/arts/tv/goodtvguide/66069/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) but the network knows it needs to be a little more low-key about it: "I'm very protective of Mitchell and Cameron, of their relationship. I would like to see them show more physical affection–we film scenes several ways, including kisses–but at the same time we're moving cautiously, because *it's sort of a gay Trojan horse in people's living rooms*." Emphasis added. It's not often you see such a candid admission of clandestine efforts to usurp the culture. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I know, I know. You want to know why I read *New York Magazine*. Well, it's very well-written, plus it's about New York, and I'm somewhat infatuated with the Big Apple. I generally enjoy the stories, plus there are times when I'm due for a shower but don't feel dirty enough. When that's the case, I just read a few pages of *NYM*, and I'm ready for the soap and water. Works every time. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* And what about the picture at the top of this post? It's nothing, just something I received in an email that had lots of hilariously-ironic pictures, but it's impossible to know which are real and which aren't.
