Ouch. Yes, they are bigoted. That's the point...

To them, Eddie is some *thing* to laugh *at*...

To me he's a *man* to laugh *with*...

Either way, my point is that those of us whom are both shallow and/or bigoted can find an easy target in Eddie. I admire him, but others definitely treat his work like the gruel you find on the bottom of your shoe:

Interesting, but not noteworthy.



My point????



Those people who feel that way are bigots.

But they're my family. :cry:

If you go around using words like "poofter" "faggot" etc. don't expect people to turn around & not call YOU names for being a CD. & hopefully you don't think "everyone knows" what a gay person looks like, maybe you intended to say something like many people have seen gay couples.

Eddie Himself answers this question.
