The right have their undies in a knot because a high school is performing the award-winning play, Falsettos. Falsettos is a musical set in New York City in 1979. Marvin, his son Jason, his psychiatrist Mendel and his male lover Whizzer are Four Jews In A Room Bitching Marvin steps forward to explain his situation: He has left his wife, Trina, for Whizzer, but Marvin wants A Tight-Knit Family and is attempting to forge a new family situation with the addition of Whizzer, a situation no one else is happy with.

Apparently the hate group, MassResistance, has a direct cable connection to the erudite and always intellectually stimulating Drew Zahn at WorldNetDaily.Those concerned "community residents" are presumably limited to Brian Camenker and a couple of his crackpot devotees. Camenker is wed to the notion that students participating in the production, as well as vulnerable audience members, will immediately morph-to-queer.
If Camenker doesn't like this play I would suggest that he not see this play. Simple enough unless one devotes his enite existence to hating gay people.
Students at a high school in Massachusetts are opening theater doors today for a free performance of scenes from their upcoming musical, a tale about a bisexual father torn between his family and his "gay" lover.
But one organization in Massachusetts is objecting to how the plot redefines "family" and pointing to some of musical's content – including the songs "My Father's a Homo", "Everybody Hates His Parents" and "Four Jews in a Room B----ing" – as blatantly offensive.
Community residents are very concerned about the production's vulgar sexuality and anti-family message," writes MassResistance – a local group that counters promotion of homosexuality in the state – on its blog entry. "Not content with inflicting this on the community in the weeks before Christmas, the school has added a sneak preview scheduled on Thanksgiving Day.
Nice post.
I found much attractive material in your blog especially its discussion. Thanks for the information you post
That's pretty funny. Finally someone points out that terms like Concerned Residents or the Community can also easily mean ummm one or two local jackasses with nothing better to do. Great blog, I came in off your post and hashtag about the California Senator and drunk driving after gay bars.
I have started reading this book and love it so far!
I just couldn't wait for it to go in to paper back.

The gay community, or LGBT community, is a loosely defined grouping of LGBT and LGBT-supportive people, organizations and subcultures, united by a common culture and civil rights movements. The term "gay community" may also refer to gay men only, or to gay men and lesbians only. These communities generally celebrate pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality. LGBT activists and sociologists see LGBT community-building as an antidote to heterosexism, homophobia, sex-negativity, and conformist pressures thought to be exist in the larger society. The term gay pride is used to express the LGBT community's identity and collective strength. The LGBT community is diverse in political affiliation. Not all LGBT individuals consider themselves part of an LGBT community.
Groups that may be considered part of the LGBT community include gay villages, LGBT rights organizations, LGBT employee groups at companies, LGBT student groups in schools and universities, ccnp training, and LGBT-affirming religious groups.
Within the LGBT community there exist identifiable sub-communities, such as the leather community, the Bear community, the chubby community, the lesbian community, the bisexual community, the transgender community, the drag community, and the rave community.
Falsettos is nothing but point less and funny stuff. I can't see the real essence of this paly thing. them far easier to carry than traditional laptops. The Dell Mini 10v Netbook is one of the least expensive netbooks available, and other companies do have comparable models and prices, so do your homework and find the right one. Google is making sure to get the word out that the Dell Mini 10v Netbook can run the Google Chrome operating system. I’m not sure how long this price will last for the Dell Mini 10v Netbook, but don’t do anything rash like getting payday loans from a direct lender unless you’re sure you can afford to pay it back.
Falsettos is the lamest gay musical imaginable. If Camenker is so upset about a show as toothless and white-bread as this, he's even crazier than I thought.
I can't figure Camenker out. He doesn't seem to be a Bible thumper. He really hates gay people for some reason.
Maybe the MR bigots could sit around and watch football instead to prove how "manly" they are?
