The only thing better would be to have a BBQ joint there, too. Greg Gutfeld proposes to open gay bar next to Ground Zero Mosque. Greg Gutfeld To Open A Gay Bar Next To Ground Zero Mosque To Cater To “Islamic Gay Men” No, this is not a joke. In fact, it is instead one of the most brilliant pieces of provocations in recent years. Greg Gutfeld from Fox News’ Red Eye announced today via his blog that he is actively speaking to investors and plans on opening a gay bar next to the controversial mosque being built near Ground Zero in New York. To make matters worse (better?) the bar will be specifically designed to cater to homosexuals of the Islamic faith. God, this is going to be an exciting block. Here’s Gutfeld’s entire post which he will expand upon during tonight’s Red Eye: “So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it’s all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world. As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque – after all, if they buy the land and they follow the law – who can stop them? Which is, why, in the spirit of outreach, I’ve decided to do the same thing. I’m announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space. This is not a joke. I’ve already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance. As you know, the Muslim faith doesn’t look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I’m building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world. The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps – but still want to dance. Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque. After all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine. My place, however, will have better music.” Hot Air contacted Andy Levy who reiterated that Gutfeld is serious. And, on his blog, Gutfeld points to the lack of humor in the post as further proof of his intentions (although, I think he’s under estimating himself. That last line about the music is hilarious). I, personally, think it’s a brilliant idea. I absolutely abhor all of this anti-mosque nonsense currently going on in this country. It’s disgusting bigotry plain and simple. However, just because I support Muslim Americans in their fight against anti-Islam prejudice, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a few dings for their religion’s own prejudice against homosexuals. If you want to be treated fairly, you should treat others fairly as well. Still though, the only thing that would make this plan perfect would be if Gutfeld created a chain of gay bars and plopped them down next to churches and synagogues since it’s not like those religions have been super open-minded. Insomniacs around the country already know that Red Eye is underrated genius. If Gutfeld goes through with his plan, hopefully it will be enough to finally thrust them into the satirical limelight with Stewart and Colbert like they deserve. UPDATE: Gutfeld outlined his plans on Red Eye last night. Check out the segment here.
The words "trolling" + "excellence" never belong together, regardless of context. The word you are looking for is "douchebaggery," but then what you have is, "trolling douchebaggery," a redundant phrase.
Really good pork BBQ and its defense will cause the South to rise again. Especially if you throw in the need to educate some Yankees about it as well.
Meh. A gay bar catering to muslims right next to a mosque is a financial disaster in the making. Gutfield knows (or at least he should know) that, which means his "proposal" is just empty grandstanding. If this is "trolling excellence," then so was Irans "Holocaust cartoon competition."
On the one hand it's pretty awesome, on the other hand I am wary given where it is coming from, I can see it being an attempt to bait Muslims into complaining, thus being able to say LOOK THEY ARE AGAINST WESTERN FREEDOM BOO). On the other extra hand (yes I can have three hands, shut up) Muslims do deserve just as much trolling for their fear of THE GHEYS as any other religion does. So I feel a combination of amused and unimpressed, mostly because I think if it was a case of opening a gay bay next to some Catholic or Protestant center many of those cheering at this would be saying it is unnecessary trolling. If this was coming from a direction that seemed genuinely interested in gay rights I would be behind it totally.
Provocation or not, in sincerity I have no problem with a gay bar being next to the Ground Zero mosque any more than I have a problem with the mosque itself. If the mosque builders have a problem with a gay bar, well that's when I'll call them for their shit. Until then its live and let live time folks. You know, remember the Declaration of Independance, all men are created equal? Well until the mosque builders go against this principle I see not problem with either.
They need to make sure they have a statue of Mohammad out front dressed in a thong and a martini in his hand.
And the next time a dozen Catholic or Protestant terrorists blow up a bunch of landmarks that are the heart of the US economy and military and then try to build a church next to one your simile will have some degree of accuracy. By the way, did you know the Imam behind this mosque is going to the Middle East to improve US/Muslim relations on the Federal Government's dime? (No word on if it is being funded from the NASA budget or not.)
Most Al Queda members are fucking homosexuals who satisfy their lust by using innocent young boys from the villages they pillage.
Surely you're not suggesting that pedophiles are comparable to consenting adults in same-sex relationships. There are also plenty of moderate Muslims who don't get their panties in a wad over gays, just like there are Christians who don't freak out over women wearing pants.
Catering to the Queer Terrorists, what will they think of next? One more reason never to set foot in NYC. I would think that after all that 9/11 stuff, a Mosque would have a difficult time passing fire code. Yep, regular fire trap them Mosques and real hard to put out too.
Not at all. You're forgetting the need for the terrorists to have a place to "go native" while they're getting ready for their next mission. This would be perfect. In fact, it's probably just that anyway.
