imagine this:

You live in Russia, the former USSR
Free Speech is a no-no
You need a way to describe what your worried might happen to your country.
You thus use the US as a analogy.

That is how his speech is regarded by many political scientists.

I was blown away that he thought gay people were a sign of societal collapse; surely all those double-income-no-kids couples are going to be way more robust in tough economic times. Gays and lesbians are America's emergency fund!

Gays and Lesbians probably book more laser shows than anybody else in the US.

They said the same thing during the great depression... Perhaps he mistook this depression for that one?

The big shows we do here are for gay dance parties. No one else wants to spend the right money to get a good show, and i hate this..

Gay + lesbian Mardi gras weekend in Sydney - 6 parties in a 4 day period ,total of 38 lasers in a combination of 2.5w RGB, 4w RGB and 20w whitelights(YGB)
, 2 teams doing back to back bumpins, programming , operating,bumpout ,transport, bumpin etc.etc.
Nice thing was that at every venue the show looked unique, and no hardware falures ( thanks QMnet!! ) . Promoters won't stand for anything that looks similar to other events on the same weekend. ( they're a fickle lot, and they *know* what everyone else has got)
All over now. time for more sleep....
