Don't Care Anymore

It's not exactly a secret that John Derbyshire goes beyond standard conservative arguments against gay civil equality to embracing fairly outrageous bigotry and---here's a case where using this term actually makes sense---homophobia.

Have a look at this charming exchange on the Corner:

MILLER'S CROSSING [John Podhoretz]
I once horrified Jonah by saying that the secret to understanding Miller's Crossing is that Gabriel Byrne's character is gay and he's in love with Albert Finney -- but that's only because I AM RIGHT!!!!!

John P.: Now I don't want to watch it.

Now take a moment to reflect on the sort of mentality that would be inclined to watch a film and then abruptly decide not to because a prominent character is gay. At least the generation that thinks this way is dying. Ticktockticktockticktocktick
