Straight Man in a Gay World

I don't know how many of you ever caught the FX show called 30 Days. It was inspired by Morgan Spurlock's movie, "Supersize Me" in which he eats ONLY McDonald's to test the gassy, unhealthy, bloated results. Of course it goes bad, worse than he thought it would, in fact (and who knew that McDonald's fries don't decompose? That's troubling.).

Well a friend yesterday sent me this link to watch an entire episode of 30 Days.

In his shows, he gets others to do some of the "trying things out. This time he gets a corn-fed "all-american" (oh, did we mention STRAIGHT) young man from Michigan to live in the Castro with a gay man. What do you think happens? (I'll give you a hint: thank God some learning takes place.) Bonus is that white boy looks pretty hot with his shirt off (and he shakes what his momma gave him in a gay club!) even though, as his gay host says, he's "not quite there yet" in his comfort or understanding.

Some stand-out quotes:
  • "You have a naked guy in your bathroom!"
  • "It's just a view of mine to say 'a murder is wrong'...'homosexuality is wrong'..."
  • "Homosexuality is not a civil right, it is a monstrous sin against God."
  • (sorry for perpetuating stereotypes, but guess who says this one) "Did you notice I spent all morning cleaning the house?"
Enjoy. Please comment.
