The show that seems to exist only to shame and smear the Catholic faith continued it’s unfunny, zero depth nosedive into crazy on Tuesday night. This week The Real O’Neals took aim at Catholic schools as Kenny (Noah Galvin) girded himself for his first day at Catholic school as an openly gay student.

Which of course, included a musical rendition of gayness:

Kenny: Oh, my god, I am so gay. Why did I have to come out now? Why couldn't I have waited until college? I can only imagine how these catholic-school kids see me.

♪♪ I'm coming out ♪♪
♪♪ I want the world to know ♪♪
♪♪ got to let it show ♪♪
♪♪ I'm coming out ♪♪
♪♪ I want the world -- ♪♪

Student: Oh, hey, Kenny. I hear you're...

Kenny: -- a fag?! What?! I know that's what you're all whispering about me!

Student: I was going to say, I hear you're running for treasurer.

Kenny: I am. And I'd... Appreciate your vote. Vote Kenny!

I take from this display that gay teenagers think that heterosexual teenagers think about them a whole lot more than they really do. But of course that self-obsession is hardly confined to gay teenagers.

But I digress.
