Even the Texas Gays, who could probably kick your ass, buy into the condescending media narratives of Hillary Clinton: she's "a diva", you see, and also "that reliable, ubiquitous straight girl who hangs out with the gang," which is the nicest way of describing a "fag hag" we've heard in some time. Not that we understand exactly how Senator Clinton fits that description, or which band of merry queens she spends her time cracking wise with, but these tough gay residents of Gun Barrel City, Texas still seem to like her. And while her husband shepherded both "don't ask, don't tell" and the vile Defense of Marriage Act through Congress, and while Obama is the only current candidate to plainly say that DOMA needs to be repealed, not "fixed," the patrons of the Friends bar love their unlucky-in-love straight girlfriend Hillary. Politics is all projection and fantasy, hooray! [WP]
