Description
For my Sociology term paper, I wrote about same-sex marriage. This was probably a mistake, because I'm so biased. Reading sources/articles that were anti-gay marriage absolutely made my blood boil and gave me this over-powering urge to rip out my hair (or, rather, the authors' hair.)

I kept reading about this one (mythical) conspiracy throughout said articles--the "Homosexual Agenda". At first I was outraged. Then, after a moment of reflection, my mind distorted and toyed with this idea. What *would* the "Homosexual Agenda" look like? And, with some word-play and an over-active imagination, I got an idea for this cartoon.

I hope it doesn't offend anyone in the LGBTQ community--I could understand that one might be upset over my use of stereotypical imagery and use of stereotypes in the joke itself. But this is meant to rip those who *hold* such stereotypes--I'm really trying to bash ignorant people here. I'm flipping their creation on its head. So don't take offense.

Rest assured, I'm queer myself. This is just a bit of self-deprecating humor. Sort of like Thompson/Bellini's Buddy Cole. Only not nearly even half as awesome.

...I guess that's it. It's not really a great piece of art--the focus is more on the joke, less on the actual drawing.
