I assume you are boycotting to protest Gay Days, and not to protest another protest!
Such an interesting response! What's your take on homosexual males who dress up like freakish gaudy clowns?
Excellent comments, also in #16.
The very sad thing is that TPTB don't want want the truth to be broadcast - that there are many, many former homosexuals. It isn't necessarily easy, but it is possible to leave the "gay" life.
But of course!! :)
I read it and understood it exactly as you did. It didn't make sense.
Like Michael Jackson, eh?
"What's your take on homosexual males who dress up like freakish gaudy clowns?"
The dressing up like freakish gaudy clowns isn't limited to gay males -- ever seen the Philadelphia Mummer's Parade? But IMHO, what's at work here is that the simple, unadorned self isn't "good" enough. Otherwise, the wounded self unconsiously reasons, the childhood abuse "wouldn't have happened". The childhood neglect or abuse that leads to homosexual acting out is a "secret" that must be denied through bitter parody of the birth gender.
That's the psychological explanation. In religious terms, evil exists, and various temptations in life are all around us. Insecure, earth-focused people with no powerful motivation to find a biologically appropriate mate and who have not been nurtured in a traditional Jewish or Christian worldview can easily slip into polymorphously perverse behavior and just follow the "in crowd" who accepts them in the gay bar or YMCA or wherever. It is perversely arousing and becomes a fetish.
All kinds of behaviors can become addictive. One of the motivators for crossing social barriers with outrageous behavior is that it raises the adrenaline, which in turn drugs the brain and counters the anxiety or depression that may have arisen from child abuse or from succumbing to evil. That's why Jesus said, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
OK all you statisticians, any info on this?
