I See Gay People
It sounds like a bad parody of The Eye: someone receives an ocular transplant from a gay man, and suddenly she starts seeing everything as fabulous and is able to tell fuschia from mauve.
I'm sorry, but that's the only logical explanation for this rage-inducing story, in which a gay man's eyes and tissue were rejected because the CDC has set up rules that allow centers to reject organs from people who've had sex with men in the past five years. So I choose to believe that the cause was rooted in a Korean horror movie rather than the outdated opinion that gay men are all potential AIDS carriers.
Are we even human, in their eyes?
