Disney to allow gays and lesbians to have their fairy tale wedding
you too can have your fairy tale wedding! this isn’t big news, but I had to write about how cnn.com and the article handled the wording. I realize there may not be a perfect way of addressing any group of people correctly but come on… “disney to let gays have their fairy tale weddings” has got to come out a little better, right? Why not just say ’same-sex couples’? I don’t mind the blunt nature of what cnn said, but it gives the rest of its readers that same green light to use that bluntness. I’d really like to not be referred to as ‘you gays’ or ‘you trannys’. It’s one of those things that’s really only acceptable (if acceptable) if you’re in that same culture.
It reminds me of Bitch and how she’s started saying ‘gays’ instead of ‘guys’. Imagine the six foot tall, gorgeous dreaded woman coming on stage in royal blue hot pants and screaming, “hey you gays!” the crowd cheered and laughed.
