Dennis Miller can bite me.

On the O’Reilly Factor, Miller made a anti-gay joke about Barney Frank- an openly gay member of the House of Representatives – being arrested. Even O’Reilly recognized that it was wrong. Like Nader, who was schooled by a Fox anchor for using “Uncle Tom” as a phrase to describe Obama, Miller goes well over the line with his anti-gay remark.

He was met with mild resistance and discomfort from O’Reilly, but the laughter behind the camera confirms what I already know: the passing of Prop 8 cannot be blamed on one segment of the population. While religious influence clearly plays a role in America’s ill treatment of gays and lesbians, this stupid Miller video reveals one of the many hearts of the problem:

mainstream America still trivializes and laughs about homophobia behind the camera or in the privacy of our homes.
