I Love Carlos: A Desilu Production

Carlos likes Oprah, and every time he says it, I invariably say, Oprah! I. Hate. Her!

And then he says, No, oprah, like Mozart and Puccini.

And I say, Oooooooh! Opera! Never mind.

Carlos also says, when someone he knows is making a mountain out of a mole hill, She's like a storm in a glass of water.

That one took a while, until I realized he meant Tempest in a teapot.

Makes sense.

So, this morning we're talking about Adam Lambert's shocking announcement that he's a flaming homosexual, but that he wants to be a singer and not a civil rights activist. I was telling Carlos my theory that every gay person that comes out is a civil rights activist because they're giving gay a face--not to be confused with gay face, Ryan Seacrest. I think the more people that come out, the less afraid people will be; and the less afraid, the less intolerant.

So, I was ranting about coming out and civil rights and all that and Carlos says, Well, he doesn't have to work with GLAAD to be an activist, or even with UCLA--

Huh? What? Huh?

UCLA?

Yes, he sneers at me as those I'm a wacky redhead and he's a Cuban bandleader. You, know UCLA, the people, the lawyers--

You mean the ACLU?

Whatever.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucy!
