I think the joke has something to do with the fact that Hillary won a Grammy in '97 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/39th_Annual_Grammy_Awards#Spoken)? She got it before being becoming a Senator or Secretary of State, so it's her "first" accomplishment. But maybe not. Who knows?

A gay marriage discrimination law is depicted as Frankenstein('s monster) which is moronic cartoon shorthand for "thing bad." So yeah, pro-gay marriage.

...Unless this guy actually knows that the monster was a misunderstood gentle creature that only tried to do the right thing in which case it becomes very confusing.

Frankstein's monster is intresting because the movie version and the book are completely different character. Both are sympathetic and tragic, but in unique ways.

The movie version (or at least the version Boris Karloff played) is very much a child in an adults body. He only kills twice in the original film, the first time is in self defense and the second time is an accident (and even though he can't speak he's visibly horrified and ashamed about what he's done). He's not mindless, he's clearly self-aware even if he's not very bright, but he doesn't know how to communicate or control his own strength. He doesn't know he's a monster, he doesn't know anything because no one ever explains anything to him.

The book version is the complete opposite. He's extremely intelligent and very much aware of the fact that the world sees him as a monster. He's angry, dejected, and alone. His body count is three (I think, it's been a while since I've read it) the first is done out of anger and the other two are killed as part of a convoluted plan to blackmail Dr. Frankstein's into making him a girlfriend. He does bad things because "why should I give a gently caress about the world? It never gave a gently caress about me." Although he realizes far too late this was a lovely attitude to have.

But as fascinating as they both are I'm not sure either of them is a logical stand-in for gay marriage.

Well, they try to give him the same personality that he had in the book: a bitter loner who'll never be accepted because of his grotesque appreance, but it doesn't reallt fit because the actor playing him (Aaron Eckhart) is gorgeous. So what you end up with is a beautiful man with well defined muscles (muscles you see a lot because he spends like half the movie shirtless) and kickass scars standing around complaining about how no one will ever love him because he's so ugly. It's a bit silly, to say the least.

They aren't that trendy, think more of a poorly recreated CGI version of the Shawshank Redemption put on by the local special needs class.
