I love this [comment from the _American Familiy Association_](http://www.afa.net/homosexual_agenda/childrena.asp) about Harvey Fierstein: > [@](#): > > Fierstein is enjoying the work aimed at the younger generation, **but his motive is frightening.** “It would be wonderful to have a generation grow up not frightened of gay people. We can’t reach a lot of their parents, but we can reach kids, and if they grow up without being full of hate, we can have hope,” he said. That’s just _chilling_, isn’t it? ---

I saw this post a week ago – and today I went to see Finding Nemo today with my 5 and 7 year old boys. The movie rocked, and I am certain that my kiddos had no clue as to the sexual preferences of the voice of the blue fish. All we know is that the scene where’s she’s doing the whale voice was hysterical. Great flick. Peace. Love. ---

I am a lesbian in a man’s body. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but Ellen Degeneres has an excellent voice for comedy, with great delivery. In fact, I hear she’s a cunning linguist. ---

Upon further reflection, I should have noted that the previous comment was meant to be taken sarcastically. ---

Honest question, do these people have nothing to do besides be outraged and horrified? Oh no! The 5000-year-ago Chinese thought of dragons as benefactors! A gay woman is doing the voice of a fish and that’ll make you gay! Get a job, people! ---

**Tars** , for how long during the movie were you watching it? Or did your eyes drift only during the end credits?😉 ---

Well, if you’ve got a good forward cast with just the right amount of drag, you’re bound to get a few nibbles. (I forget whether that rule is for angling or cabaret. Whatever it is, I know there’s fishnet and hip-boots involved.) I’ll be here all week… ---
