re: Actress Ellen Page: "I am gay"[W:1222]
I watched Raw a couple of weeks ago for the first time in probably 15 years. Holy crap, I had forgotten how much he made fun of gay people. That **** would NEVER fly today.
Hell, just ten years ago was practically a different world. I'm watching The Shield now, a cop show that came out in 2003 or 2004. In the first season the hero has blackmailed a fellow cop from reporting him to internal affairs for stealing drugs during a major bust. The rookie was gay and very much still in the closet, but the show's hero found out and threatened to expose him for being gay and destroy his career if he didn't retract his story. This is the show's hero, mind you.
And for a real eye opener, check out Eddie Murphy's standup material from the 80s.
