Also, big news in Springfield. If you're not watching or your on the West Coast, don't read further. But if you want to know which Sprinfieldian is gay, the answer is...
Patty Bouvier.
I'm disappointed, because I wanted it to be Lenny...but as Marge said tonight, "they're not ready." But I'm also not surprised, because as far back as the Treehouse of Horror III, in 1992, when Patty saw Homer naked, she said "there goes the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality."
Anyway, good for The Greatest Show in the History of Television for taking on gay marriage.
The only problem? What the hell state is Springfield in? Since Matt Groening's hometown is Springfield, OR, most assumed it was supposed to be in Oregon. But we now know that's not true, since same-sex marriage is illegal in Oregon (and a slew of other states, including my own).
Final thought. How sad is it that the people of the cartoon Springfield appear, at least at this point in the episode, to be more sensible than the majority of voters in, MI, OH, OR, MT, UT, AR, LA, KY...
