Vote On 'Mr. Straight'
(From the blog of author and activist Wayne Besen)

Angered by gay contests such as Mr. International Leather, Tom Crouse, pastor of Holland Congregational Church is launching a "contest" to name the most heterosexual guy in Massachusetts. "

"We're just looking for tolerance for heterosexuals. Someone should stand up for heterosexuality, someone should stand up and celebrate how God made us and I said, 'I'm gonna!', so I think I'll have a Mr. Heterosexual Contest!"

Sounds like a great idea! So, I have a few contestants in mind who swear they are straight. My friends, I'd love to hear your thoughts on which one should win the title of "Mr. Heterosexual".

1) Alan Chambers, "Ex-Gay" Leader 2) Richard Simmons 3) Clay Aiken 4) Sean Hayes, Will & Grace 5) Richard Cohen, "Ex-Gay" Therapist (Not the leatherman)

3. I vote for Sean "I refuse to discuss my sexual orientation....
because I don't want to jeopardize my career after "Will and Grace", even though I really don't HAVE much of a career after "Will and Grace"" Hayes.

4. "how god made us"????
and the rest of us were grown from spores or something?

Okay - It's been my experience that whenever somebody is as obsessed with their sexual orientation being under assault as Mr. Wayne is they usually have a perfectly valid reason to feel threatened.

We have infiltrated EVERYWHERE Mr. Wayne. Hell, I've even been featured in Playgirl and I'm willing to bet you've probably gotten strangely excited by that because you thought you were looking at a hetero so it was okay (not telling you which edition! Do your own research ;))

Silly "hetero". Much ado about nothing.

7. And just when were you planning on sharing these pics with the rest of us?

Dayum!

I'd agree, my Wayne seems to fear much that he can't run from - it's all inside of him...


Actually, since we all KNOW that we chose to be gay, maybe we should pick a target, say James Dobson and vote for them as the gayest man in America. If enough people tell him he's 'that way' maybe he'll start to believe it and choose to join us

5. Any man so full of himself to participate in this
thing probably has deep dark secrets even HE is unaware of.

There is such a thing as protesting too much!

6. Well, if it'll keep the christians out of the streets I'm for it.
But just by being in a beauty contest, doesn't that alter your Kinsey scale rating? It's like the uncertainty principle. By measuring the object you change it.

So a guy who's a category 1 heterosexual enters a beauty contest and thus becomes a category 2, because no truly straight man would enter a vanity-laced beauty contest. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

9. duct tape?
The contest will feature such manly events as how many Oprah magazines you can tear at once and a sixty second dissertation on the uses of duct tape.

I can tell you some uses for duct tape that they won't like!

:bounce:
