Gay Future
Gay Future presents a hilariously satirical vision of a futuristic dystopia: In 2062, everyone is gay except for one boy, Mikey Pence, who is called to save the world from the authoritarian gay agenda of President Clay Aiken. Mikey’s superpower is his loud, “straight” voice, which he wields alongside his other straight-man skills of compartmentalization and telling himself he’s awesome for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, nobody remembers how to make babies the old-fashioned way, and privileged gay men adopt and abandon kids thoughtlessly. The script skewers homophobia and takes stereotypes to their logical extremes, yet its tone isn’t snarky or overly moralizing. Gay Future is a fast-paced, entertaining ride that pokes fun at heteronormative tropes and fears, subverting listeners’ expectations over and over.
