The writer of the piece fails to recognize what the Advocate recently learned themselves–that gays would still be getting drunk, shopping for shirts and saying “fuck it” even in the face of an asteroid quickly approaching Earth, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s go to a few bars and get some drunk quotes, shall we?

“We can’t let [the recession] affect the way we live. I’m a shopper, and most of my gay friends are.”

“I mean, we’ll skip going out to dinner and go out for drinks instead now.”

“We came in, and we’re like, ‘I went to blah-blah-blah and everything was packed! And my colleague is like, ‘Oh my God! I went to so-and-so and it was packed! And we put it together. Everyone is fucking going out. It’s January—or February now! And the weather is cold. It’s not a time when clubs are full.”

“Gays love a recession because we hate the capitalist economy that’s found in the hetero-normative patriarchy anyways. I say burn the motherfucker down! Right? Fuck Prop 8! Who gives a fuck? We should burn down Wall Street and take over New York.”

Here here!  Anyone got a bump?
