Gay activists can be a bit petty when someone doesn't completely endorse their agenda -- especially within the LGBT lobby. Take Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner, whose slowness to endorse gay marriage annoyed Ellen "I Have No Agenda" DeGeneres on her show. On The Meredith Vieira Show on Wednesday, former N'Sync singer and gay activist Lance Bass mocked the transgender reality-TV star for trying to say he was a "traditionalist" as he sat in full makeup and a blouse and a skirt. (The biologically correct pronouns are mine.)
Vieira reported "She said 'I’m a traditionalist. I’m older than most people in the audience, you know. I mean, I kind of like tradition and it’s always been a man and a woman. I’m thinking, I don’t quite get it.' She said her views on gay marriage have since evolved, but Ellen DeGeneres wasn’t totally buying that.”
Bass replied: What I don’t get is she’s sitting there in like Givenchy, full makeup, saying ‘I’m a traditionalist.’ [Laughter] I’m like, what?”
Then he added “I do have to give her some room, too, since even when I came out, I still caught myself, saying ‘Oh, she’s so hot,' like doing that thing that you trained yourself to do for so many years, so I believe we should give her a little room to grow.”
Liberals always try to be charitable to people who are "growing" into marching in lockstep with them.
