Where Booty needs to watch his arse is when he starts to make the case that being gay makes him sympatico with and part of the civil rights movement. He goes there but haltingly so, evidence that he has been advised to be very, very careful. His cerebral cortex wants to take him there because his cerebral cortex "knows" that it is an excellent and rationale argument to use with blacks. Except it is the kiss of death with minorities.
I am a white guy but Booty is even too white for me and I am not talking just skin color.
He's going there. I heard him on an NPR interview a week or so ago. He flat out came out and said that "whiles he's not black" he has felt the pain of discrimination his entire life. He went on to talk about getting in the military and the fear of not being able to marry the man he loves.
