but i went so far off on my own tagent that i decide to create my own.
I know a number of poofs. I generally dont like them. The males annoy me with their feminine traits and i dont like chicks being butch. Thats not to say im threatened by it, i just find it unattractive and consequently dont wish to be around it. Perhaps thats because i only seem to have met stereotypical poofs. Or maybe its just because that what it means to be queer.
Regardless of my own personal biases' however, the problem with fags is not anal sex or the lewd acts of George Micheal.
The problem with queers is Us, the hetrosexuals.
We're a bit anal ourselves. I mean what are we afraid of and why are we threatened by them.
The first problem is that all sexualities are fundamentally human. As humans we generally like things to find their space and stay there. Although we live in a world of constant change, much of what we do is based around trying to control that change, order it, file it, classify it. We thought we had this whole sexuality thing nailed down. But now it seems we were wrong and naturally enough the dominant sexuality doesn't like being challenged for their/our title as "The Right Way To Be".
It scares us to think we might not be as righteous as we thought we were. And if something as fundamental as sexuality could be called into question, then think of all the other 'certainties" that might tumble under a more sceptacle point of view. We hate that.
Especially Christians, who seem to believe that they are the soul guardians of what is right vrs wrong. They have this incredibly outdated text, that they wave above their heads as justification for a 1001 different biases' and yet they seem quite happy to ignore the contridictions that lie within it. They even rewrote it once when it finally got "in the way".
Surely man rewriting "Gods word" to suit his own self interest is more a blasphsemy/traitorous move against Heaven than couple of poofs wanting to ensure their estate passes to their partner/loved one. There is nothing sacred about marriage, that can be taken away by whatever monstrous incarnations it might take, from those already joined under its vows. Ive been to couple of weddings and as i recall it goes something like "between these two and God in holy matrimony". What have you, I or the Church got to do with this equation, except to meddle in the affairs of another. Its a power trip. Nothing more or less.
On the one hand the Church criticises queers for being rampant sex fiends and spreaders of the AIDs virus. Yet when these same rampant sex fiends seek to make a committment to one another, the church slams them for being unchristian, ungodly and unclean. Let us not forget that this is the same religion that teaches us that new borns are "unclean sinners" that need to be cleansed through a process of baptism and circumcision if they are to be acceptable to the Lord.
If you can get a population to be believe there is something wrong with itself and that you have the answer, the salvation to that problem, you could, if you were particulary cunning, line your own pockets with their "penance" surrendered in the midst of their guilt. The church is more a menace, than a vehicle of salvation. Manipulating those who are intellectualy incapable of thinking for themselves, indoctrinating them into a blind following of faith and service.... which in this case is just politicized "queer bashing".
I find that generally speaking homosexuals are often more in touch with their sexuality than most hetros, certainly male hetros, probably because of the whole social hurdle thing about "coming out". Something that we hetros dont really have to go thru or if we do, we dont notice it so much as hetro rites of passage of widely understood and accepted. Its "normal". The Bible on the other hand seems to teach that there is something wrong with our bodies and something deeply disturbed with the individual who wishes to share his or hers with another. More guilt. More shame.
Seems to me poofs have at least got that part right. How can hetros evolve their sexuality in a Christian context, where the answer seems to be "dont use it", "your wrong for getting turned on", "your deviant, if you like to fuck".
I often hear the arguement that queers are so "GAY" . People say "On the one hand they say accept us, we're just the same... and yet on the other they constantly scream their differences at us". Maybe its just cause their different that their differences ring so loud. Its not that they are all necessarily sexed up, it just because we notice it so much more than our own hetro "sexed up ness" that it seems to stick out.... No innuedo intended.
There's no point in sticking our heads in the sand as Christians would have us do. They used to say burn them... now its just ban them. The argument is lost Christians. Give it up already. Homosexuality is perfectly natural... as is transexuality etc. Why wouldn't it be. We all are borne of sperm and eggs. Why do we assume there are only two pure combinations. (hetro male/hetro woman)
If i start shooting myself full of estrogen, im going to become more feminine. More testostorone, more male. Its a medical fact, that anyone can readily prove unto themselves, just by swallowing a few pills every morning. It is biological. Just as we are all decended from the apes. Christians try to break the world up into pieces they can attack but if they were to actually take the blinders off and look at it all holistically, you'd see how all those pieces make a perfect fit.
There is without a doubt a Creator. Why Christians would want to limit such magnificance to a 1000 page manuscript that in just 2000 years is already so outdated in a universe millions of years old, God only knows. Maybe its not so much that they beilieve in God, as it is that they want to be God. That whole fear thing. If im God, then i can control. If i can control then i will feel safe. Perhaps Christianity is just another form of mental illness.
Regardless of the reason, fewer and fewer people are buying into it. The more often Christians use such ramble to justify their own bais and prejuduces, the faster that deterioation will occur. Its OK to be scared Christians. We're all scared. Life is scary. No one is going to mock you for that. But its not a faggots faults. Their not the bogey men. Fear is an internal response. If you want to get rid of it.... work on yourselves. Its not OUT THERE!
You can bust your religious and political gut to keep poofs out of your sandpit Christians, because hemosexual or not we dont really care. We're all heading to the beach, black, white, poof, straight, yellow, pink, brown blue, to work on our tans TOGETHER. And as much as they might be queers, poofs, fags whatever at the end of the day, when cut they bleed, JUST LIKE US, when sad they cry, JUST LIKE US, when hungary they eat, JUST LIKE US... and one day whether you like it or not, when in love they'll get married, JUST LIKE US...... funny that aey?
Nope. Not really. Not if you consider that really, their JUST LIKE US..... The question is "ARE YOU?"
