Sorry. I had a good friend in high school who's father was "confused" let's say. Because of this I met a large number of queer men. They were a sad and self-loathing lot.
Oh they put on a good show. But I got to know some of them and they were just messed up in the head. They acted happy. But once you peeled back their exterior a bit you usually found self-destructive types.
It's like abortion. The discussion is "right to choose" or "pro-choice" or "it's the womans body". Or, my "favorite", it's a "privacy" issue. MY GOSH! YOU ARE KILLING A BABY! A HUMAN BEING! AND IT HAS RIGHTS TOO! But no, people have been trained to focus on certain "words" and away from the physical reality of things.
The same applies to queers, with the help of the media people have gotten used to focusing on "love" and "relationships" and "partners". Pablem! It's WHAT they do that's the issue. GROSS ME OUT! Oh, and by the way, they account for maybe 3% of the population. So could they just shut up? Queers are like Chihuahuas, they just make a lot of noise but when you get right down to it they are really too small to do anything...
My sister used to work in theater some and has a lot of gay (male) friends. She told me that from what they told her, they are generally an unhappy lot and would really prefer not to be gay.
I can't say I disagree with you. Interesting comments. Dead on about the abortion issue. I have an added beef with them because I would just love the "choice" to have a child and they're treating it like a piece of garbage.
I went to a party for my wife's work. One of the people she worked with was gay. I was just about ready to talk to a couple of guys when I noticed they were a little too "friendly" for my tastes. Egads! I got out of there quick and spent the rest of the time around the "normal" ones. That gay guy layed off a bunch of people, including my wife. She goes nuts when she hears the g word now. But justice prevails. He got laid off himself a few months later when the big boss was wondering why no one wanted to communicate with anyone.
The chiuahuah analogy is a unique one:).
What used to be called "the love that dares not say its name" now can't shut the heck up. If it was just a case of adults with a weird fetish doing sick things to each other, that would be bad enough. It is intolerable that it is official school policy to let the homos indoctrinate all children (I call this mind rape) and recruit as many children as possible (physical rape). I am more and more afraid that Western civilization has lost the will and the capacity to survive.
