LZ Granderson Gay Agenda?

1. TED PRESENTATION
By: Nathan Gilbert
July 2012

2. LZ GRANDERSON
The thesis of his talk was that the gay “lifestyle” is no different than the
straight “lifestyle”.

3. THAT’S JUST WRONG!!!
LZ was surprised to hear government officials say that the gay lifestyle is a
greater threat than terrorism.

4. LZ drew in the audience by using Matthew Broderick.
He used the movie Ferris Buehler to help the audience feel at ease.
“You weren’t doing Ferris-y things at the time, you were doing gay things”

5. LZ kept the attention of the audience throughout by drawing
humorous comparisons between the gay and straight lifestyles.
I found it very humorous how he made the connection that if
you are in love, you may be gay. If you are single, you may be
gay, because gay people are both in love, and single.

6. LZ MOST CLOSELY
FOLLOWED THE
8TH TED
COMMANDMENT
Thou shalt remember all the while,
laughter is good.

7. THE GAY AGENDA???
LZ makes the audience laugh as he shows them the “Gay Agenda”, which was
actually the United States Constitution.

8. DYNAMISM
LZ kept the audience engaged throughout by using pictures, video, and even
a Star Wars theme.
“Run for your heterosexual lives”.

9. LZ was engaging and kept the audience
involved by asking them questions, and
having them actively participate.
