Probably the best defense against hateful prejudice I've ever encountered

Gacked from shirebound


Here's a fantastic anecdote that demonstrates the power of the right attitude when faced with prejudice and bigotry...


When in doubt...belt it out!


Must brush up on my Cole Porter...

I love it! You are the second one on my flist to post this little treasure of fighting back. New York, New York--a hellova town...

Good for Koahloa!

The Bronx is up and the Battery's down...

*slaps face* Back to reality.

The people ride in a hole in the ground...

Stop!

New York, New Yoooork...

Click. Post Comment. :)

It's a hellova town!

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I got your book signed! More later! :-)

EEEKKK!!!

OH, boy! Thanks for letting me know, sweetie! I'm all aflutter with anticipation, and awfully glad you had a great time!

That is so great!

But, now, showtunes must be selected judiciously. "The girl that I marry"? Oh, no, no.

Sweet Charity -
HEY BIG SPENDER!
Boom badda Boom BOOMP

That'd do it.

Cabaret?
Moneymoneymoneymoney

Then of course, more recently, Chicago.
Bwadada, badadadadadah Got a little motto, always sees me through....

Gypsy? (and that paean to working girls of the stage, You Gotta Have a Gimmick?)

That wonderful ode to boy toys everywhere from Pal Joey, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered?

Too Damn Hot from Kiss Me Kate with the most amazing collection of gay innuendos evah? - Cole Porter again, that one.

OK, embarrassing amount of musical knowledge here. I'll shut up now.

Jane Russell's Is There Anyone Here For Love? would be a great one, too. Remember her vamping in that gym filled with gorgeous muscle-boys, none of them paying her the slightest bit of attention?

Oh, there's tons of tunes that would fit the bill. I mentioned Porter because so many of his songs are filled with innuendo, him having to write with a double-edged pen and all.

We could start a new trend! All across America, rabid haters would find themselves faced with conscientious objectors singing their hearts out. Yay!
