so don't try. I don't suppose it occurred to you LGBT also includes gay women?

It's not supposed to be funny, friend. It's supposed to be -- and is -- a true representation of the hollowness of the famous Coke sing-a-long shown against the palpable ugliness of the Russian State, the host of the Winter Olympics, the Winter Olympics that is going to pay Coke a bundle of loot to act as a sponsor. But it's really more than a swipe at Coke. It's a swipe at the intolerance of Russia -- and it's thuggish ignorance -- measured ironically and sadly against the avowed and expressed openness of the song.

You were commenting on the Carlin quote -- not the quote itself, but what you suspect is its inappropriate intrusion into the discussion. I may disagree slightly with you on that, but you do have a legitimate point.

so let me fade sheepishly away.

Just using humor to point out straights should not be concerned about denying rights to gays.....

they should be concered about their own sex lives
