How generous of these homophobes to say that if gays want to be
accepted they have to adhere to a set of rules and morality set by them.
I am sounding off after reading a post by Joe My God (http://joemygod.blogspot.com/) where
this 22 yr. old asshole posted something like this in YouTube:
“Here’s
my main thing with gays. You want people to accept you, you want people to give
you rights, and you want people to be nice to you. And yet when I go out in
public, you guys are the most sickest, nastiest people I’ve ever seen. You make
sure you flaunt your gayness in front of everybody. I’ve never met a gay person
on the right that goes to a gay pride parade, gets naked, or puts little bootie
shorts on and walks around. Never seen that. You wonder why people hate you,
you wonder why people don’t like you, you wonder why people spit on you and
beat the living crap out of you all. You wonder why? That’s why."
First of all, this asshole doesn’t realize that gays don’t
have to accept his rules or his standards. It is a free country after all and
if anybody wishes to participate in a parade dressed only in a sequin jock strap
that is his prerogative. What can’t be forced upon anybody is the blackmail the
religious right has imposed on gays and on the rest of the population…it goes
like this: For gays to be accepted they have to be in the closet, be quiet about
it and not ever display any traits attributed to being gay…they they will be so
generous as to grant the gays the right to exist.
But
the same goes to the general population and it goes like this: Accept our
religion and our religious convictions because they are directly given to us by
God and ours is the only religion and if you don’t you will be condemned to
eternal damnation.
In politics if follows pretty much the same pattern: As Dear
Leader in Waiting Mitt said that protests should not be carried out in the
public arena…they are to take place in some “QUIET ROOM” and then the
Republican 1% might see fit to listen to them and perhaps throw the 99% (the
rest of us) some crumbs.
Let’s make one thing clear: freedom of
speech has to be unconditional, there is no room to impose when, how, where and
how much this freedom is to be exercised. No permits or threats of repression
should exist because if they do regulate and demand a fee for a permit then it
ceases to be free.
As the adage says, "The more things change, the more they stay the same". Also the more we demand our rights, the more the backlash...it is just desperation an the part of the homophobes...whose neat and perfect world view is being threatened.
