Honestly the only two real podcasts I’ve ever listener to is the FoF and Adam carollas show.
Fausto and Marc, you two have made jokes throughout the years about numerous people. You three have one thing in common, you all host a comedy podcast. He’s a comedian. It’s a joke. Glaad and everyone else needs to get off their high horse and learn to laugh at yourself. I agree and disagree with some of his point of views but regardless I know it’s a show and there are jokes. Haha…that’s it!
Adam has stated hes not anti gay. He just has different views on gay issues.
It seems like the whole world has become pussified nowadays. Everyone takes everything so seriously now and don’t know how to difirinteate jokes from serious statements.
And btw gays do need to shut the hell up about marriage equality. We have way more important issues that need to be addressed before gay marriage.
I’m not anti-Carolla either, I’m just making a joke. I even posed for photos with pizza to show I support Italian American comedians with poor taste.
It gets better and crispier:
Maybe being gay became to mainstream for the hipsters.
I think two things are going on in Carolla’s rant. One is the ambivalence toward trans people, which is pervasive with both gay and straight people. It’s a very different experience and not one that’s easy to understand unless you actively listen and try to educate yourself. The second is probably akin to FoF’s frequent rants about establishment gay organizations like HRC and GLAAD, where they actually *are* the ones in power, relatively speaking. If Carolla’s buttons get pushed by anyone who seems like they’re telling him what to do, he might feel overloaded with all the It Gets Better and pro-gay messages that have been flooding the media since last Fall.
First and foremost, though, the requirement of a comedian is to be funny, especially if you want to attack someone in your act. He failed.
