Blades of Glory --Implications for the Arts

One of my kids saw Blades of Glory, the movie starring Will Farrel and Jon Heder? (Napoleon Dynamite) --which is not about gays at all --and no humor to that effect, she said.

But she said it does show how incongrous and funny it is to see 2 men as a figure-skating pair.

Well it used to be just as funny to think of two men marrying --but now we are expected to take that seriously and not giggle at the incongruity because they are serious about their attractions.

I expect therefore, that gays WILL begin to wonder why they cannot be a figure skating pair, a ball-room dancing pair, etc. Why not!? If we are going to treat them same as female-male couples in all other ways, we shall also be expected to take them seriously in the arts heretofore reserved for hetero couples. We'll also have transgenders competing in female competitions and having advantage of their male origins --which is why we have females compete with each other and not against the bigger, stronger males.

There is no end to the silliness coming....
