Can Colbert Turn Solmonese Straight?


Comedy Central aired part two of HRC honcho Joe Solmonese’s sit down with tongue-in-cheek king Stephen Colbert. Watch as the boys talk about Congressional calluses, whether we gays can be blamed for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and when Colbert decided to be straight: late November of 1982. Why? He’s lazy and being gay takes a lot of work.

And, of course, the comedian tries to lobby Solmonese to the straight side – they’re soft, they smell good, they have vaginas. Unfortunately Somonese doesn’t bite. Nor does he high-five.
