The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God
-- Deuteronomy 22:5
I remember first reading this verse many years ago thinking "Why would men do that unless they're acting in a play or a movie? Was this a problem two thousand years ago?"
Today I better understand the verse and why it's in the Bible. And it's one verse of many that revisionists and Satanists will say "well that's actually a bad translation...and if it isn't, then its outdated and means nothing except to bigots and homophobes."
How I laughed at that skit, not understanding how mockery leads to normalization and acceptance of fringe positions. It really was the cybergays, Conan, and you played your part in their ascendance, as did I.

"It's Deuteronomy, not Do To Me Ronny!"
