Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Gayer

That’s right boyz and girlz, Minnetonka Theatre is doing Annie Get Your Gun!!! You may be asking, “but Gaye, what on queer Earth does that have to do with things that are gay in a good way?” The answer, my deer queerlings, is two fold.

Number one: John Trones is playing “Frank Butler”. If you are a gay man in the Twin Cities, chances are you’ve had visions of Trones dancing in your head…and in your pants. Not only is this man amazingly beautiful, he’s also got the voice of a big gay angel. John Trones alone, is reason enough for me to climb into my skinny jeans and trash on down to Minnetonka.

Number two: Annie Oakley was a big ol’ lesbian. Yeah, yeah, yeah…you may be saying, “now Gaye, just because she’s a powerful female, doesn’t mean she’s a lesbian.” Yes it does. Okay…she’s not actually a lesbian. She’s a strong woman. But come on! She’s a gun-slingin’, trash-talkin’, strong beyatch! She’s Rosie O’Donnell with firearms. And I love her! She’s les-tastic! The only thing more les-ba-rific than Annie Get Your Gun is trail mix.

Well done, Minnetonka Theatre, for being totally gay!…in a good way!
