I never realized they were the same person before. I went to Wikipedia and found:
Schultz has also written for Breitbart where he likened liberalism to mental illness, and has similarly suggested that President Barack Obama’s administration may intend to force sex reassignment surgery onto him and others.
I first knew him for his role as a raving lunatic, and then I saw him appear as a creep unable to deal with reality without retreating into fantasy.
“I’m a professional actor who’s been avoiding a sex change my whole life, just as most of you have,” Schultz said on Tuesday’s broadcast while filling in for Michael Savage.
“Sometimes when I listen to this administration and I look carefully at the people who have been appointed, I don’t wonder whether or not someday they’re going to be knocking on the door saying, ‘You know, it’s time for your sex change. You got it. It’s in your health care bill. It’s going to make things a lot easier. I promise.’”
“No sex change for me. I don’t care how popular it becomes,” he added.
Sounds like he took those roles to heart. How unfortunate. What drives people to say things like these? Is he in denial, like many of those gay-hating priests? Is he just making up bullshit to get relevance?
And those people are grooming your kids into changing into something else, just like they did to themselves! Think of the children! LOL, it’s some Invasion of the Body Snatchers kinda paranoia.
One thing I hadn’t talked about was the “forcing” of LGBT issues.
When we were seniors ('89), saw a high-school buddy in a 50/50 gay/straight bar. About shit himself when he saw me.
“Please don’t tell anyone Shalafi. 😬”
“I don’t give a shit Sheldon. Let me get some of whatever you’re hitting in that bag!”
Same bar watching my gf dance. Dude pulls up a stool and offers me a drink.
“That’s cool and all, but you should know I’m not gay.”
That man knocked over his barstool jumping backwards. From a 5’8", 120lb., 18-yo twerp.
“Oh shit! I’m SO sorry. I didn’t mean…!”
“We’re all cool! It’s good! I’ll still take that drink though.”
All that to say, if any young folk think gays have it bad now? Let’s hop in the Delorean and take a ride back to the late 80’s. They were deep in the closet. Closeted as in, being out front with your homosexuality meant an ass beating. Hell, no one would even acknowledge Freddie Mercury, Liberace or Elton John as gay. There were “confirmed bachelors” or “light in the loafers”. Delivered meaningfully, “gay” was a deadly insult.
Back on topic; Gays kept that shit on the down-low. And that’s how GenX grew up, even more so our parents, less so the Millennials. They see LGBT folks celebrating themselves, rainbow flags in stores, whatever, as having other people’s lifestyles, “shoved down their throat” or “forced on them”.
Weird take, but I can understand it. Moved to the Deep South and all the religious shit feels like they’re cramming their bullshit into my life. And they’re trying to using legislation! And to circle back, these people think gay rights, or even existence, is being thrust on them via legislation.
tl;dr: I get it. It sucks. Society is quickly growing out of it, but it’s a nice wedge issue for conservatives.
I realised they were the same actor as a kid… But this is very disappointing to hear. I’m just not able to separate an artist’s work from their politics. In fact, they are closely related, in my mind.
I could never listen to Kanye, for instance, no matter how much his gospel work is recommended to me.

Sigh… Turns out he’s a raging conservative.

My take on the most recent conservative LGBT propaganda:

Well that’s disappointing. Reg used to be one of my favorite characters and now…
Is that entire generation broken in the head?
Lead poisoning, dude
Overblown mostly.
No. Society just changes faster than it ever has. Some keep up, others don’t, think of it as a warning showing what happens if you let fear win
I mean, that sucks, but I’ve learned over a long time to separate artists, musicians, and actors from their work. It isn’t worth fretting about.
The fuck! This makes me sad.
