A little levity for you: while the debate about whether marriage equality is something to unequivocally celebrate continues, at least one thing has been cleared up. We now know who to thank for the victory in California! And no, it’s not LGBT organizations and activists who have worked tirelessly towards this goal; that would make way too much sense. No, folks, we should actually be thanking Tila Tequila.
“It is because of me. I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement,†Tila told Us Weekly at the Hollywood premiere of “The Love Guru†on Wednesday.
“A Shot At Love†pits men and women vying for Tila’s affection against each other in a series of challenges designed to help Tila find the man or woman of her dreams.
“Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships],†she said. “Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal.â€
Or maybe the show just reassured everyone who was apprehensive about the gays getting hitched that even if queer people look like they’re gonna marry a hot, interesting individual of their own sex, in the end they’ll wind up going with a boring person of the “opposite” sex named Bobby?
(Yes. I will admit it. I watched that train wreck of a show. And DANI WUZ ROBBED!)
Also, I am amazed that the image in this post is the only one that showed up on the first page of my Google Image Search (SafeSearch turned off) for “Tila Tequila” that was not hyper-sexualized or featuring major nudity. Actually, why am I surprised?
(Thanks to Myles for the tip!)
