MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
It's interesting watching Dolce & Gabana square off with Elton John on artificial conception & gay parenting for 2 reasons:
1) they take completely opposite views on the matter
2) as a straight guy, I'm not supposed to give my opinion (unless just possibly if that opinion matches Elton's - otherwise I'll be shunned and ostracized - free to agree as always)
okay, maybe 3) typically in popular culture we'd associate D&G's views with the GOP. How to reconcile this with gay fashion designers? blame it on their religion? certainly one angle. How religious are gay people allowed to be?
Am curious if we're able to address these contentious issues outside the straight-jacket of narrow framing.
[to be open, I tilt towards Elton's view, but I still like people to be allowed their own opinions without shaming or having a correct one rammed down their throats]
