So Joshua, Brody, Frank and I did a little marching at the rally this past Saturday- to lend our voices to the repeal on "Yes on 8." Brody and Joshua are passionate about our rights- and led the crowd in chants as we marched. As it was hot, we ducked into a bar for a quick beer...and then once the rally was over, into a restaurant...where our discussion turned to 'Chi Chi La Rue' and her party that was to be held that night. Both guys held ChiChi up to be the model citizen- heavily involved in promoting safer sex. I applaud her for that.
On the other hand, I do not think she is someone Brody should be modeling his life on. I suggested Mother Teresa instead.
Brody: "You know Mother Teresa wasn't all she was cracked up to be. Apparently, she could be a real bitch."
Me: "You're kidding me, right? You can actually sit there and compare the two?"
Joshua: "ChiChi is fabulous. She owns her own business and makes tons of money.
Me: "Mother Teresa worked for a higher purpose."
Brody: "ChiChi works for a higher purpose...she makes people happy."
Now I suppose I don't have much of a leg to stand on...As Brody charitably pointed out, I've spent my life producing game shows and reality shows and now work for Fox. It's hardly a noble career- but Mother Teresa....come on. She's the model. She's what we should all be striving for."
Here we'd spent a few hours...working for a more noble purpose: equal rights, which suggests a strong moral compass on their part, and yet, they equate a pornographer life's work with that of a saint.
KIDS!!!!
So later that night, the conversation still rankled. I texted Brody: Art is a higher purpose than commerce.
He replied back: Wtf?
Me: A follow up to today's conversation.
Brody: Ur so gay.
