queer eye for the straight guy is on tonight. those guys are all very accomplished & established in their fields, but the show implies that they know all of these things just because they're gay. like it's innate to fags, or it comes in the handbook or something. i tend to like the show a lot, but this aspect of it makes me itch.



the bus ride to woodland is so breathtakingly beautiful. it's just wide open space, acres & acres of corn crops or bare fields or bales of hay precisely stacked. i am starting to like it here, to my great surprise.

a quote from the new newsweek:

"the notion that gay men have a superior fashion sense is not true, and it's damaging ... it's perfectly possible to enjoy that show and say, 'look at those clever homosexuals--what they do with hair!' and not support gays at all." -- openly gay massachusetts rep. barney frank, on why he finds "queer eye for the straight guy" offensive
