From the mouth of Pegs

Pegs and I were watching an episode of The Office last night in which Michael, the well-meaning but hopelessly inept office manager, accidentally "outs" one of his employees. In trying desperately to defend his actions to his HR representative and director, he argues that there's no reason for anyone to be ashamed of being gay, which is why they call them gay pride parades instead of gay shame parades.

Pegs (laughing): That would be hilarious. They should have a "gay shame" parade.
Me: Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose? I mean, who would be in the parade in that case?
Pegs (thoughtfully): Republican congressmen?
