Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Perhaps, but when you factor in the voices Steven Tyler and the boys from Poison took back the butchness despite all the long hair and lipstick.

What is even happening?

I think I'm going to post a multi-part post on theology and politics, and then propose 5 politics thread, each based on the theological and political beliefs of the posters who will use them.

Or maybe everyone could just stop making equine references.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't count Poison because they're foreigners. I do count Haircut 100, Thomas Dolby, Culture Club, ABC, Duran Duran, Blancmange, Spandau Ballet, Kajagoogoo, Bucks freaking Fizz, The Proclaimers, Thompson Twins, Kid Creole -- George just looked like another guy to me amidst all that.

The evil is this way?

So, no one should be beating a deceased horse, then?

In non-horsefucking news, a Swedish library is offering to lend out representatives of minority groups, including lesbian and gay people, in a bid to tackle prejudice and discrimination.

Organized by Malmo Library, those taking part in the scheme will be able to take their lent representatives outside for a 45-minute conversation about their beliefs, culture and way of life.

Hah! Jessica, my sister is in Malmo right now (AIFG!). I'ma have to laugh atask her about that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

George Michael looked stereotypically masculine compared to most of his co-workers at the time.

He himself was focusing on his eyerolling, not his personal style.

In other VH-1 news, Adrienne and the Brady are getting their own spinoff, thank goodness.

I, for one, am so glad that Jesse is here to watch VH-1 for me, so I don't have to.

George was a little ... perky. That was his biggest tell, IIRC.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

When I was in junior high the thought of people being gay just didn't occur to me. I barely contemplated people being straight.

I heard my first "gay rock star" rumor in junior high--it was Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger supposedly giving each other BJs.
