We watched a superb documentary on queer comic history and culture. I didn’t realize how awful Eddie Murphy, Andrew Dice Clay, and Sam Kinison were. Murphy’s rant about faggots while he’s wearing skin tight leather pants and more makeup on stage than Liberace is particularly…awful. Check out Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution. It spun up a lot of memories for me - touchtone memories from growing up gay. It makes me want to write about some of them.
