I guess things are different in California.

I can sort of agree with tobunga. I've read things around here that seemed worse but I don't believe in comparing situations in order to justify something.

If the picture wasn't of Lee who so openly lived such a flashy life I might find the cut-and-paste pic and title a little crass.

But I'm glad to see someone politely speaking up when they find something they disagree with. There's always a risk of getting trashed or people thinking you're no fun anymore when you express such opinions.

Still,

OH MY GAWD! WHAT A FABULOUS OUTFIT!

All to true. However, living in Palm Springs and having attended many Gay Pride Parades and having danced more than a jig or two at Toucans Tiki Bar....

I find the parallels between Tiki and Gay Pride to be more than just passing. Seeing the irony in oneself and in one's own lifestyles is not hate speech, its just
funny.
