WRESTLERS KISSING

For many, the best years of professional wrestling, from 1950-1985, were really the good ole days. Often referred to as old-school wrestling, interviewees reminisce that "back then wrestlers spent more time in the ring, and did a much better job of selling the match." Today it is referred to as a circus where "you sit back and watch the elephants and the clowns and the ringmaster screaming his head off."The last major gay angle was done in WCW with Lenny Lane and Lodi. Merely for doing what they were told at WCW, Turner Broadcasting demanded that they be removed from the air and proclaimed, "Lenny and Lodi will never be on another WCW broadcast ever." How fucked up is that? Straight guys getting fired and blacklisted for pretending to be gay on the orders of their bosses. They should have sued. And let's not forget what happened to Adrian Adonis when his character "turned gay" (well, actually he died in a car accident and gayness didn't really have anything to do with it, but I thought Adonis was hilarious so I wanted to work him in somehow). There are gay people in all walks of life. As some of them like to shout in parades where they dance naked down the street holding their lovers on a leash, "They're here, they're queer, get used to it." Pretending they're not there is not going to make them go away. Neither is trying to hide the kids from it. Believe me, the kids already know about it. But have a little faith in your children. They are not going to turn gay simply from knowing gay people exist. Besides, if you're worried about your kids being exposed to it, turn your damn TV off, idiot!
