Bill Maher: Glee Is Indeed Shoving ‘The Gay Thing’ Down Our Throat. Obama Needs To Run With It

Bill Maher, who sometimes says really obnoxious things just to get a rise out of his guests, was dead right with his latest “New Rule.” Aimed at President Obama, Maher declares that “now that a Cheney, a McCain, and a Bush have come out to support gay marriage, it’s your turn Obama.” Zing!

As you know by now, it was our April Fool’s prank that attempted to convince you Obama had evolved so much on the issue that he was going to officiate a gay wedding. And while he believes not permitting legal gay marriages to be recognized violates the constitution, Obama has yet to publicly declare he thinks gays should have the innate right to wed.

“I’d like to congratulate the leadership of Democratic party who really stood up for right,” says Maher. “I’d like to, but I can’t.” Because they’re all pussies. “Unlike the Democrats, when Republicans believe in things that the public doesn’t, their response is: ‘Fuck it, we’ll make them believe.’ Like attacking Iraq, to avenge 9/11. Like convincing a country that badly wanted health care reform, that they actually didn’t want it.” Victoria Jackson said Glee is forcing “the gay thing” down our throats. If only that were enough to convince politicians to attempt it.

      I have heard people accuse maher of just trying to get ratings, however he has been outspoken about gay marriage since the 90s and discusses gay issues on his show quite frequently. I remember an interview he did with Larry king in 03 Telling him how the democrats should stop being such pussies and support it already.

      This article is a mess. So Bill Maher didn’t really say anything about Glee? (And fuck Victoria Jackson: Yes, Glee is shoving the gay thing down our throats. You know, like every other show shoves the straight thing down our throats.)

      @RomanHans:

      The “straight thing” is natural, whereas the “gay thing” is not.

      “The “straight thing” is natural, whereas the “gay thing” is not.”

      The gay thing occurs in nature, in thousands of species. It is natural.

      Computers and the internet, however, are not natural, they do not occur in nature. Neither does written language and ellipses (the . . . you used as an id). Therefore, you are not natural.

      Homophobia does not occur in nature either.

      @Sam you are one of the commenters who cannot use punctuation and yes Glee is not a great show but some of the episodes are better than others and what shows do you like better do you recommend other shows or do you just watch Glee or shows that you hate or are there maybe things you watch that you only like sometimes but not others?

      Well, the majority of people are straight, which puts us gay people in the minority. Shows like Glee don’t have even a hint of subtlety and practically hit you over the head with it’s message. Ultimately, the show is trying to do the right thing, but I think it’s execution even annoys gay people at times.

      Please site your sources. The fact that the Bible, a 2000 year old book, and the old testement, writings much older, mention homosexuality seem to indicate that it has been around a hell of a long time. If something is “Made Up”, or “A Fad” it would be gone. Bell Bottoms only lasted a few years.

      But lastly, I’m just curious, are polyester pants suits and hair spray natural? Because I see a lot of evangellicals in them.
