I think Colin Powell sang Y.M.C.A. because it was the closest thing the Republicans could do to courting the gay vote, without having to do a goddamn thing.
Did you know that the Kerry campaign has rainbow flag stickers? I saw him sign some at his speech in San Jose recently, infact. I was very proud of him for doing that.
They say:
John Kerry

Kerry's apparently a ripple of hope. Not a wave, or even a swirl, or one of those scary tsunamis. Just a simple, mildly swishy ripple we can all hopefully learn to live with. Vanilla rainbow ripple.
It occurs to me that the Bush campaign needs a GLBT-oriented bumper sticker that mainstream Republican voters would be proud to put on the back of their pickup trucks, which expresses their heartfelt convictions regarding the rights that gays, lesbians, etc. should have.
How about:
Vote Bush / Cheney '04
... or I'll chain you to my bumper and drag your ass.
