In fact, someone else was talking about coming out, and I'm thinking that not enough gay people can get married and adopt children, etc, so when did coming out become no big deal? If there's enough hate to deny people simple rights that are extended to straight folks, there's enough to make their live socially or professionally uncomfortable too.
My assumption, which I do think is more and more true, is that even some people who think The Gays shouldn't have those rights are at least pleasant to the person they know/are related to who turns out to be gay. They're still bigoted, but at least polite and/or willing to make exceptions. (I've known racists who were the same way.)
Well, for values of "are at least pleasant to" that equate to "are not unpleasant to" in the sense of avoiding the opportunity to be anything at all to them is the main priority. Perhaps not ballsy enough to tell the person to their face that they're an abomination, but perfectly willing to use prejudicial and offensive language when they think it's only straight people around, and often making it effectively clear they're not down with teh ghey in actual encounters.
There are sections of my family that haven't talked to other sections "in case they say something rude". That still makes coming out a big deal, if people who seemed to be friendly to you will no longer attend your events.
Oh, absolutely.
ION, I enjoyed how the people on White Collar said "Everybody be cool -- this is a robbery!" I wonder how many real robbers say that now.
I thought that the conversation with Boyd and the other guy was really interesting, like the way that he talked about the "boy" who cut his lawn and Boyd as the "boy" who takes out his trash. Given Boyd's past racist leanings, being called a boy is not going to end well.
Dang, Justified. I'm gonna need a little time before I switch over and watch something else, that was a lot to take in.
The other guy in that conversation was Browning, right? So, that's pretty much ended and not well for him. And if it was one of the others, things aren't looking great for them either.
I enjoy that Boyd let them think that he had killed both of the dead guys. And the criminal/outlaw distinction was great.
Also, I can't believe that
Arlo is dead.
I never thought that would happen.
Also, I love Boyd and Ava.
I was really impressed with my boyfriend Olyphant in his scenes with Arlo last night. So much anger and regret and other things going on, so subtly.
When he got on the elevator was just wow. So many emotions, so tightly controlled.
