SWA #24

1.  He makes the argument that homosexuality is bad in most people's eyes because they relate it pedophilia.  He supports this by telling the story about the woman named Audrey on the radio who called in to talk about the Catholic Church scandal.  He believes that most people stereotype homosexuals as pedophiles and interchange the two words without much thought.  He constantly feels like people are judging him and mistreating him due to their lack of knowledge about his lifestyle and the life of a homosexual in general.
2.  Humor makes the subject seem much more light and makes it easier to relate to those who are not in his position or don't understand.  By doing using humor, the audience can be more comfortable or relaxed.  Also the stereotypical comments that are said in a sarcastic manner give the audience a chance to see this issue from a different viewpoint than their own.  He tries to demonstrate that most stereotypes are ignorant and aren't based off of any kinds of facts or knowledge.
