Kathy Griffin Descends on D.C., Gays Follow Their Leader

By Queerty Staff March 18, 2010 at 12:03pm

OH SNAP — Oh hey, it’s that woman who called Jim Clyburn a “big queen” filming an episode of her show disguised as a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal rally.

    By calling her the leader you’re asking for ignorant people to illegitimately bash her.

    She’s the Bobe Hope of Gay Rights Rallies and I love it.

    Why do gays so love Kathy and Lady Gaga in DC? Get me some real gays who like a more diverse liking. DC is bo-ring central. It’s standard. It’s all nellies who think they’re interesting but who aren’t interesting at all. Get thee to NYC, SF, or any other major city where there are real gays with real likes instead of following their leaders (Kathy, Gaga, Madonna, Britney) blindly. DC is so predictable.
    Anybody agree? Anybody disgree? Thoughts?

    Maybe the same reason the queens on here love that dip-shit Davey Wavey.

    @Porgie–hahahahahah! You made my day! Good analogy response.
    But ugh Davey Wavey infiltrates everything, doesn’t he? This website loves Davey Wavey. Please one day without Davey Wavey, is all I ask!

    It was nice to see her and join the crowd but a few of the HRC “henchmen” were so rude. There wasn’t that big a crowd but this one short dude seemed to feel bloated with authority–sticking his stubby hand out exhorting us to “stay behind the rope! Stay behind the rope! Snort, snort, snort. I’m afraid the military wouldn’t have him–too much paunch.
