I watched about 15 minutes of the Tony Awards last night [Sunday, June 12] before I became so disgusted by the constant innuendo (consider that word) about the gay lifestyle practiced by the entertainment industry that I had to turn it off. Who cares how they live their lives?
Why do heterosexuals, who simply want to see the results of a contest, have to be bombarded with references to Johnny’s or Jimmy’s or anyone else’s lifestyle? I, for one, am only interested in the quality of their talent and not the quantity of their personal sexual preferences. I respect every person with a different lifestyle than my own, but I am not interested in having them describe it to me as entertainment.
Last night definitely pulled the chain on any awards program for me ever again. I don’t want to see women exposing their breasts or men their, what should be, private parts. (Thank goodness I didn’t see any Weiners when I was watching.)Â
