It has occurred to me that perhaps Britney Spears is more intelligent than we give her credit for being. Also, a better human being.
I was just reading a Savage Love column, and he was defending gay marriage. Dan pulled out the now-classic line, "One day I would like to live in a country where my decade-long relationship is treated with the same respect--and afforded the same rights, protections, and responsibilities--as Britney Spears' 55-hour marriage."
This reference to Britney Spears made me think. What if Britney was secretly pro-gay rights? What if she sat down and thought about how she could help the cause, being such a high-profile celebrity? What if the answer she came up with was making a mockery of marriage? (heh. alliteration.) Is it just coincidence that she gave all gay activists the perfect argument, right when the controversy over gay marriage was building?
I don't think so. So, Thank you, Britney Spears. I apologize for calling you nasty names, and for underestimating you.
