I know this is kind of old, but I fucking hate Prop 8. Even though i'm not even American. I came across some Prop 8 propaganda and i was like... "What the actual fuck?" Obama says that gay people are given equal rights but not special rights. And by special rights he pretty much means marriage. So, I wanna ask this. Is marriage a special right for straight couples then? If you call it such a special thing then you're obviously not giving gay people equal rights because they can't experience what straight people can experience. This topic angers me to the capacity of my hairline. Like I said in my last blog. WE ARE ALL PEOPLE. Treat humans as humans. I don't care how cool Obama is, what he said was fucked up. Same with every other major politician in this English speaking world. And I dont want to be stereotypical and judgemental, those are my least favourite things to be and i try my absolute best not to be like that. But like i said, that doesnt mean that nothing pisses me off! Isn't it funny that it's usually religious people that have a propblem with homosexuality? That every politician pretty much declines gay marriage because of some religious discourse? Doesnt this just sound the same as the civil rights movement when blacks werent able to vote or even enter someones house through the front door? And the only jobs they ever had was to be a slave, servant or some kind of job that would only benefit anyone but themselves? Why can't people just see that gays and lesbians are only different by the sheer fact that they are attracted to the same sex. If religion never existed, I dont think this would be that much of a problem now would it? America is supposed to be a free country, is it not? Yet it is a "free" country dominated by the ideas of a conservative Christian view. "Oh, the freedom, yippee". Fuck off. They have no right to judge eachother. In their eyes, the only person who could judge was Christ himself and he did not. So why are these people thinking like this, why are they judging when they are in no position to judge? Proposition 8 says that gays are not losing any rights or privelidges because of no gay marriage. How aren't they? They are losing the right to marry as American citizens and as HUMANS. How can you be a free country when you take the rights away from one of YOUR people? Its like dehumanizing them because they are simply GAY. It shouldnt even be called GAY and STRAIGHT. There shouldnt be any different apart from people accepting that they like something other then they do themselves. Then it comes to this aswell, alot of those macho HOMOPHOBIC guys who think theyre so tough because they can degrade women yet they can hate homosexuals and still be seen as a good person, who the fuck do they think they are, and alot of those pretty preppy HOMOPHOBIC girls think that every lesbian girl is just gross and it going to hit on every girl they come in contact with. How close minded. What if that lesbian girl thinks you're ugly? How are you gonna feel then? Guys think that when girls kiss eachother its so hot and theres nothing wrong with it because its just like, so not gay at all and everything. But then when you mention the sole idea of boys being homosexual, not even guy on guy action, just gay attraction, they have a massive winge and talk about how gross it is and how wrong it is and how being a "real man" is so much better. What a fucked up double standard don't you think? So I leave you with this. In any country, in any soceity wether your friend, co-worker or client is gay, in any household wether your child, mother, father, sister, brother happens to be GAY. Just think about it, who am I to judge if even Christ himself did not? Who am I to judge if I am no different to you and do not like to be judged for my differences myself? Who am I to judge when at the end of the day, we are all the same. When we are stripped bare of our superficial lifestyles and aesthetics. We are all different, but we are all human.
I know this was kind of a random rant but it needed to be said.
till next time,
i randomly stumbled across your blog...im not even sure how I got here honestly. but i have to say I agree 100% with this post. My best friend from HS was gay, my father-in-law is gay, and I have 2 gay cousins. there is nothing wrong with it. i don't even view them any differently. im not offended if I am out with one of them and they kiss, or hold hands with their partner, or talk about the many crazy things gay men do talk about (although its always quite interesting to hear). and your post about who homosexual people DO find attractive. chances are if you're a homophobe and preppy/buff/jock...they don't find you attractive. they have very unique tastes (which always leaves myself and my wife guessing as to why they like some of these people). my wife and I are (somewhat) religious, but could not find a denomination that wouldn't mention how "homosexuality is wrong", so we stopped going. what i think the best part of male homophobia is how so many of them like anal sex with women....im sure if they were blindfolded and put in back of a man they wouldn't tell the difference if they were just having sex like that. also, homosexuality in ancient times was more accepted...and the original olympics were all male and in the nude. homophobia = insecurity about your own male body in that one's may be better than yours...or deep down inside you know you too are gay and don't want it to come out or show you have that attracting....all in all, seriously, agree with your post completely...sorry to go on my own little rant here.
