Richard O'Brien: ‘I'm 70% man'

EXCERPT:

Richard O'Brien, writer of hit musical The Rocky Horror Show, delighted in shaking up the conservative sexual attitudes of the 1970s.

His most famous creation, Dr Frank N Furter, brought the house down with his song Sweet Transvestite.

But the show's creator was ashamed about his own long-held desire to be more feminine.

"I was six-and-a-half and I said to my big brother that I wanted to be the fairy princess when I grew up. The look of disdain on his face made me pull down the shutters. I knew that I should never ever say that out loud again."

For 50 years, O'Brien repressed the feeling. But "you can't just put the lid on things and pretend that they don't exist", he says.

"I believe myself probably to be about 70% male, 30% female”

So a decade ago, he started taking the female hormone oestrogen - and is happy with the results.

"It takes the edge off the masculine, testosterone-driven side of me and I like that very much. I think I've become a nicer person in some ways, slightly softer. For the first time in my life, I've started to put on a little bit of weight, which I like."

He has also developed small breasts. But O'Brien is not intending to go further and have sex reassignment surgery.

"I don't want to pretend to be something that I'm not. Anton Rodgers, the actor, said 'you're the third sex'. And I thought that's quite nice. I quite like that position.

We are experiencing the Overton Window. The idea, which started in the ‘60’s was for every range of sexual freedom imaginable. But you can’t achieve that, so you start small. Gay acceptance. Then, gay marriage. Then, polygamy. Then, bestiality. Pederasty. No moral standards whatsoever. We’re just past step 2. I’m afraid there’s no going back. All you can do is educate the children you can reach so they understand what’s happening and what normal really is.

Why can’t we go anywhere, read any magazine, watch the news (or now sports), just watch TV, go to the movies, or just exist without having this gay agenda shoved down our throats? A few weeks ago, I went to the movies with my son and his family. We went to a children’s matinee, but had to wait in line with people waiting for other movies. There were two very flamboyant trannies flouncing around near us. My DIL and I naturally tried to get where my granddaughter wouldn’t be subjected to them, but to no avail...and this is in Texas! Makes me want to puke.

I’m going to have to start keeping a barf bucket next to my computer.

[Venturer]

I got to thinking.

What should be done is for women to leave the room and wait outside until the freak leaves and stare the a-hole down when he is on the way out.

Let him know you think he is a sick freak. Don’t worry about being called a Homophile. If they do call you that tell them better a homophile than a sick freak.

[BitWielder1]

Let's not forget the primary reason we have segregated bathrooms in the first place, it's to protect WOMEN from MEN.
Any new law that does not take that into account should be struck down by the courts.

[ro_dreaming]

*IF* homosexuals are in the number they say they are (6%), then why is it so public? Because the agenda is to destroy “what God had brought together”.

And, before anyone complains, I equate homosexuality with shacking up, and just like the ESPN commentator, any sex outside of MARRIAGE is sin. Period. And sin, whether sexual, lying, theft, or murder, is the same - sin.

[American in Israel]

Way past time for them to put their sex lives back in the closet where the Hetros have kept it all along. Your sex life belongs at home, not acted out in public.

Unless you are an animal instead of a man.

[papageo]

OK. It’s time for me to confess. I’m a male lesbian.Please don’t hate me.

[Jim Robinson]

Homophobic? Yup. Guilty as charged. And Islamophobic, Commiephobic, abortophobic, demophobic, FUBOphobic. It’s a God-given unalienable right to be phobic regarding any sneaky, underhanded, dishonest attempt by the enemy within to destroy the final remnants of our constitution, moral society and liberty.

And I discriminate equally against all perversions, corruptions, false gods, false prophets, false religions, leftists, collectivists, Marxists, socialists, fascists, Islamofascists, communists, anarchists, atheists, abortionists, homosexualists, liberals, RINOs and demoncrats. But I repeat myself.

Discrimination is a God-given unalienable right! And it’s just as right to be discriminating as it is for leftists to be offended! Oh, the horrors of discrimination.

In their hearts, discriminating people everywhere discriminate.

Big government be damned!

[Monorprise]

Homosexuality is a sinful and self-destructive behavioral decease. It’s victims should fear it, just as they should rightly fear any other deceased.

Let us not be shy about pointing out the self-destructive nature of this disease inhibiting the biologically essencal process of procreation.

Ultimately if Marriage is to ever be restore it must be focused upon that process and the solid family units which exist to protect it.

I absolutely dread what’s in our future.

The gay and trans population is tiny. The fact that so much time is spent talking about them and their problems is amazing to me.

On the issue of Jason Collins, gay basketball player. The point about locker rooms was brought up today by Geraldo on his radio show. His guest, a gay sports announcer, said that although he was sexually attracted to males when he went into the locker rooms he was in “professional mode” and he never did so much as take a peek. While this may be true I think that he missed the point of Geraldo’s question which was basically: if a gay man can go into a male locker room than why can’t a straight man go into a female one? He had no answer to the question.

Here’s my solution: facilities should have a third bathroom for gay men, gay women and gay or straight transgenders. It makes perfect sense. The gay guys will NOT be looking at the lesbians. The lesbians will likewise NOT be looking at the gay men. The transgenders, who are by definition “in between” genders should share facilities with gays and lesbians because the are in transition. Straight men and women are not in transition, they have already settled on their sexual orientation and their gender. Therefore it is unfair to them to group them with individuals who are not “settled” because they will not know the true orientation of the trans person based upon physical attributes or professed preference in regards to orientation.

This arrangement would put the issue to bed. But, something tells me that it might not go over with some on the gay-trans side of the equation. But why?

The problem is that traditional groupings of men and women are based upon normal physical endowments and sexual preferences. The reason that a bunch of guys can be naked around each other is because they do NOT desire males sexually. Vice versa for the women. When you start to define sexuality on alternates to this basic, natural arrangement you inevitably open a can of worms.

Think about it this way. It is unfair to straight males to have gay males using the same locker rooms. But at the same time putting all gay males into a separate room is the same as putting straight males and straight females into a shared room, based upon the sexual attraction. Ditto for lesbians. So you have a problem as to where to put them. This is why my idea for Homo-Trans bathrooms makes sense because the presence of the opposite GENDER combined with the opposite ORIENTATION would basically cancel everything out with the Trans individuals bridging the gap between the two diametrically opposed camps.

The best way to get out in front of this issue would be to start a campaign by hetero people to force facilities to create these 3rd type bathrooms/locker rooms. They would not have to be as large as hetero rooms because as a percentage of the population gay/trans individuals represent a small proportion... maybe 5% total. The average man or woman on the street would find it hard to argue AGAINST having separate rooms based upon existing gender and orientation differentiations: i.e. Men and Women bathrooms and locker rooms. For instance “we already divide genders and orientations” so why would you be against further divisions that seek to address additional differences which everybody accepts as being real and legitimate... the fact that gay/trans people exist.

I think this approach solves a real problem for the hetero community and also makes a salient political point at the same time.

[Doomonyou]

I propose that congress enact legislation that every public enterprise must have three bathrooms. One for Men, Woman, and “It.”

[Doomonyou]

Upon further review, it might take five bathrooms: Men, Women, Male "Its", female "its" and "Other."

Guess which ones will need a Hazmat Suit to clean.

[little jeremiah]

I’m going to be pinging the lists again, this tomorrow.

[Yosemitest]

If we OBEYED GOD, we wouldn't have this problem.
Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?
