"Jeopardy" Clue Throws Shade On Gay Marriage Haters
We love us some Jeopardy!, but we never thought the show would read a bitch. We stand corrected: This week, a clue given to contestants threw major shade at opponents of marriage equality.
In a category called ‘Civil’, the $800 clue offered was: “Some opponents of same-sex marriage say, 'hey gay folks, how about these? Wouldn’t these be good enough?'”
The answer—sorry, question—was "what are civil unions."
It's an oddly sassy clue for the show, which is usually so dry you could spread jam on it. But we're not complaining.
We're thinking maybe Jeopardy! has a gay writer—last summer, contestants were asked to name the word that means “A term for talking trash about someone is ‘throwing’ this, like a big elm tree might do.”
A-hem.
