Last week when Stephen Colbert had Neil Patrick Harris on his show he confessed to feeling threatened. He told Harris:
“You’re an actor/singer/dancer. You’re the biggest single threat of all: You’re a gay person I like. Your threat is that you make being gay not seem threatening. … It’s almost as if your happiness does not take my happiness away. Do you admit that you’re a likeable gay person?”
And while Harris readily copped to the crime of being both likable and gay, I’d argue he’s not the only threat this nation faces. That’s right, there’s at least two of ‘em. (Unless … they’re not the same person … right?)
But the question is: Who poses the greatest threat? Between beloved talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and the downright adorable network sitcom star Harris, which gay entertainer is the most capable of destroying our nation’s long-cherished belief that it’s not OK to be gay? We’ll put it to you to decide, gentle readers. But first … the evidence.
