First off, this is NOT a video meant to make fun of gays and lesbians. The target for our humor is the ridiculous position Ken Mehlman now finds himself in since he has come out of the Closet. He lead the Republican National Committee during years in which it sought to bar the way for gays and lesbians to ever marry through passage of a Constitutional amendment meant to make marriage between same sex partners illegal throughout the United State. How does he sleep at night knowing how much pain he inflicted upon other gays because he was following the GOP's orders? Have you ever wondered what it must be like for all those gay and lesbian children and family members of Republican office holders who have been relegated to the Closet for Life? They belong to a party which barely recognizes their existence, let alone their rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but on they go supporting the party blindly working against their own self interest.

2. Log Cabins
My understanding is that the Log Cabins all burned to the ground during George W. Bush's first term.

3. Did the video have to include a limp-wrist movement?
That gesture is now a very quaint relic of the 1950s. A local show choir used it in a contest when performing a "Robin Hood:Men In Tights" skit and it was very offensive. One of the judges even pointed out that it was in bad taste.

4. Limp-wrist
I have a friend named Brian Galivan. He is an alum of The Second City in Chicago. He has made several videos for The Second City Network on YouTube called, "Sassy Gay Friend." Since he is, himself, gay and a world class comedian, I followed his lead on what was appropriate. Please check out his gayness here:
