I love him

Cheeks made a vid about the repeal of Prop 8, which is both hilarious and sadly true (at least to my experience). It also has an important message.



The hearteyes I have for this man, though. Seriously. And he's doing a performance with Tom Lenk (Andrew from Buffy) written by Jane Espensen (writer of too much awesome to list) and I really want to go! It could kind of be done on my way home from Atlanta to see Adam, but I'm not sure if I can do the flights that way without it costing a fortune. Thinking of it, though. It was so worth it to go down for the Laramie Project performance last year.

as a TOTALLY random aside: I am in De Smet, South Dakota, aka "The Little Town on the Prairie." It's totally surreal. Laura Ingalls and her family almost froze and starved to death about a quarter of a mile from where I am now sitting and making use of the hotel's free wifi, with a/c blasting. THIS HURTS MY BRAIN.

De Smet! I loved De Smet when we went. Have you gone out to the farm/house/museum yet? It's excellent. :DDD Farm history!

AUGH CHEEKS. Look at the rainbows flashing in his eyes! He is just the loveliest. I'm... kind of in the mood for Bradam marriage fic? Where they get really drunk and get married accidentally and through a series of hilarious events that I can't be bothered to think up right now decide to stay married.

... I just realized this is just a Bradam version of "Drive-By Devotion". WHATEVER I STILL WANT IT OKAY. And there should be a really, really fabulous wedding ceremony eventually. Adam can bring his rainbow lasers.

Also I support you to go see Golden Guys, because that would be AMAZING.

This video is fascinating to me.

Being straight and from a small town most of my knowledge of the gay community and it's opinions about gay marriage have come from the media and I guess I naively believed the vast majority of the gay community supported the push for gay marriage, if not by action then at least in spirit. The suggestion that there is a significant segment of people who are apathetic to the whole thing if a huge shock to me.

Or maybe I'm jumping to new misguided conclusions based one guy's satirical video about a bunch of people in a bar.

OMG! Wow! DeSmet! I must have read those books a hundred times. That would blow my mind as well to stay there. If you go to any museums or anything I'd love to hear about it.

I love me some Brad. ♥__________♥

I've never been to De Smet, which is strange when I think about all of the other places I've been in SD.

♥_______________________♥ CHEEEEEEKS. I can't even. He has RAINBOWS FLAHING IN HIS EYES. And he's managing to mock and make a good, valid point AT THE SAME TIME. ♥.

Also, I find that "the ideal guy would be straight-acting" intriguing too, because...really? I thought we were kind of past all that "must not be seen to be gay in public" stuff (altho obv, like you said up there, it might just be a personal preference, but it seems lke he said that to make a point). Huh.

Brad ♥

And I may actually turn green with envy if you do go, I've loved Jane's work for SUCH a long time and it looks pretty much awesome :)

...Ooo! New internet love!

Seriously, smart, darling, and gay? Thank you for introducing me to this guy! *checks out his other vids*

"Union!...between two men!" is too awesome on which to properly comment.
