I could use one too (hint).
Thanks for posting this. I was expecting the old disco song, which I will now have to look up to hear. In those days, I never went to discos, but heard the opening line... "I yam what I yam.."
Not quite the Popeye variety.

I just had a long conversation with my brother who is
working as a flight instructor at a military base in the
heart of the Bible belt-
Santorum worship is rampant among his co-workers
and it is so hard for him to bite his tongue!
A man was just attacked by three other men here in Hollywood.
At a very prominent and well lit location-
They approached him, asked if he was "gay" and when
he affirmed that he was, they began beating him.
Fortunately he survived, but for the area it was a shocking
incident, given that LA is pretty tolerant of everyone.
My father had a student who was murdered outside of Indianapolis
in the 70's by gay bashers; he was so beautiful, so talented-
a completely senseless murder and the perps were never caught.
This video should be aired as a public service announcement every day,
several times a day.
The fact that this is 2012 and such hatred exists towards other human beings
is simply UNacceptable.

I believe over the past 48 hours here on DU this was needed. At least we all have each other in this group.
