I was in a restaurant yesterday, and I was explaining to the Pirate about how Rufus Wainwright has that kind of voice that's the epitome of the stereotype of gay men - a drawl wherein his lips never meet, he hisses every "s" and he uses too many superlatives. As I was explaining this, a gay couple was seated at a table next to us and I noticed that one of the pair was shooting me dirty looks.
