Colbert, I demand a retraction!

Last night, in covering a story on a new US tourism ad campaign in the London Underground (whose ads proclaim “South Carolina is so gay”), Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA took a shot at Civil War hero and my Great-great-great uncle, Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard.

While I admire your meticulous pronunciation, Mr. Colbert, I must stand up and ask you, if his nickname, “The Little Creole” is the gayest thing about the Civil War, there’s not a lot of gay to be mined from the whole situation, is there?

This episode was filled with other homophobia-filled taunts directed toward Sir Elton John, which makes me wonder.  Why would you devote so much airtime to how gay everyone else is (or could potentially have been)?  Perhaps to deflect suspision of your own deviance?  Now I know why you want your Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream flavor so close to the Brawny guy.
