The gayest painting of our time?

"In my online travels I ran across this kitschy take on Noah's Ark yesterday on Flickr and was momentarily stunned by the gayness of it all. 'Noah's Gay Wedding Cruise', which artist Paul Richmond created for a gallery show called “Sweet & Low: Optimism in a Pessimistic Age” at Gallery Arcane in San Francisco, features an iconic cast of characters — Ellen & Portia, Rosie and Kelli, Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar, Bert and Ernie, Elton John and David Furnish as well as penguins and assorted other homo fauna.

However, I was much more amused by the range of drowning sinners bobbing about in the flood: a sopped Ann Coulter, Larry Craig clinging to a toilet, Sally Kern, Fred Phelps, and Kenneth Starr. That's Pat Boone's guitar. A 'Yes on 8' supporter.

As art it's not really up my alley, but I could certainly appreciate the message."

2. Larry Craig clinging to a toilet!!!! That is funny as hell!

It's nicely executed, too. I dunno where one would hang it, but it would be fun in a public space, I think.

6. Oh, I think it is sweet!

I love the love shown by both people and animals on the boat--and appreciated knowing who everyone was--have a small screen on the 'puter so can't see them all that well.

12. Love it!

There's some very meaningful symbolism in the Ark... carrying a new paradigm to safety while the wicked things of the past perish from society and become the sediment of history.

Very nice.
