I mean, of course, Monty Python. The team of comedians and satirists who re-wrote the world of humourous sketches back in the 1960s.
You see, they constantly featured sketches involving homosexuals in various situations but no one, as far as I am aware, has uttered one word of vitriolic cant in the direction of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam or Graham Chapman.
If a Catholic blogger (or Scottish Cardinal) was to make a similar type of comment, in their own style rather than Monty Python's, all hell would be let loose. The hairpins would be flying all over the place.
But, somehow they seem to have got away with it......so far. Homophobic bunch that they are!

Even worse would be the reaction to the gay drill sketch. My dear, the shrieks.
ReplyDeleteGenty, yes that is a classic. It may appear in the future.
