No one in the last ten years has done more for the Gay Cause than Jon Stewart.
Logo's AfterElton dips into the newly available Daily Show Archive to give us Jon's Greatest Gay Hits.
What sets Stewart apart, aside from his tremendous mainstream popularity, is that his humor conveys a deeply-rooted sense of personal outrage at anti-gay policies, laws, and attitudes. He doesn’t, like Maher, support gay civil rights as part of an overall libertarian or progressive political ideology, but because, as he told conservative pundit Bill Bennett in what may be the greatest interview of Stewart’s career, gay equality is part of “the natural progression of the human condition” because “every gay person [is] someone’s son or daughter.” And in Stewart’s mind, apparently, you just don’t treat your kids like that.
There's a lot to entertain you. And, Fuck the Human Rights Campaign while you're at it. Watch!
