as i think about my prejudices and how to rank them, i ask myself: islamophobia or homophobia? it's a very hard choice. to which am i more opposed, the burqa or broadway show tunes? between total fabulousness and suicide vests there is little to choose, really: these are closely related fashion statements. indeed were i the handler of suicide bombers, i'd get isaac mizrahi designing the explosive garments. and of course even through this amazing era of toleration that we've been in, i've fought hard to maintain my misogyny. well really it's been kind of effortless; i actually do know some women, after all. i tolerate all persons of course, though just barely, and only because i have no choice.
