The Great "Gay" Con

The Washington Dispatch | June 23, 2003 | Patrick Rooney

Society clearly doesn't dislike lesbianism as much as male homosexuality. When I was in grammar school, way back in the 50s, there were two women teachers who lived together, and had done so for years. I never thought anything of it, but as I got older, I learned that everyone in my little town knew they were lesbians. Nobody cared. Nobody threatened them with firings.

OTOH, we had a high school teacher who was quite effeminate. He was harrassed constantly for it, even though he was not gay at all. He was married, had a bunch of kids, and showed no sign of playing around on his wife in any way. He was just a soft-spoken, quiet man who liked poetry better than anything else. He finally quit, after a series of death threat letters, and moved away.

So, it was OK with this little town in the 50s if two grammar school teachers were lesbians, but not OK if an effeminate sort of man who was straight taught in High School.

Very strange.

If one woman is good, then two women are twice as good.
At least, I think that's it. I've never actually thought to enter a philosophical discussion with myself while enjoying two women...never mind.

Could be. I'm not an afficianado of porn, so I don't know.

It started with an assault on our perception of reality. The sixties exploration of “freedom” began the path down that slippery slope. Rebellion against the order of things. And what greater rebellion than for a man or woman do go against their very own nature?

Revisionist history, Cathryn.

Homosexuality was actually invented in the Fifties, not the Sixties. Although some of the details have been lost to history, most people credit Little Richard of Georgia for the discovery and even I can remember him being "covered" by Pat Boone. If you research it, though, I think you'll find that there are still some who claim that Little Richard stole the whole idea from Rock Hudson. And now that he's dead, we may never know the exact truth. But, the important thing is that by the Sixties, homosexuality was already being franchised throughout the country.

Language being important, the word “homosexual” was overthrown, and replaced with the happy word “gay.”

This is the part I've never understood. What's so happy about any of this?

In natural world, most mammels travel groups of 1 senior male, harem of females and all other males subservant and or off spring. Maybe that why....

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said last week his country would officially recognize same-sex marriages.

In Canukese Jon Crouton decreed, "A man's anus is as good as any woman's vagina !".

Not even in your own head?

You need to see Bob Dole for a minute. Bob! Could you come over here . . .

[netmilsmom]

No, most males like to see lipstick lesbians making out. Then again, there isn't too much that won't make Mr. Happy sit up and take notice. The reality is, most lesbians that I have known are coyote ugly. They either had men and got burnt or could get one.
Trust me, if you could see my sister and her lover kiss, the only thing you would feel is sick.

BOND keeps fielding some incredible talent. Mr. Rooney is a new name to me, but one I'll be on the lookout for.

[MattAMiller]

Yeah, to be honest, that's something I've often wondered about. I've even asked my male friends. They won't cop to enjoying it to me, but I've heard them talking amongst themselves. I think it's bizzare.

It gives you more parts to look at. And it shows women enjoying sex outside the presense of some guy with a big wallet.

Women don't get off on watching men - we think it's just about the nastiest thing we can think of.

Actually a lot of women do. Or at least they like reading about it. Do a search for "slash fiction," most of it's written by women.

You're right, Cathryn -- good read.

I was recently conned by some "gays" and, from the title, I thought someone had found some predisposition among gays to behave deceptively.

So it wasn't what I expected, but it was still a good read.

I understand your revulsion with our society's obsession with buggery, but if health insurance premiums triple because of sodomite diseases then we must pay for their deviant lifestyle

[RussianConservative]

Well when any ugly people kiss it sickening.

[MattAMiller]

When you see guys here on FR making anti-homosexual arguments, they're almost always talking about male-male relationships.

And it's mostly about the butt sex. I find it gross as well. But it's not unique to gays nor is it a necessary part of their repertoire.

That's why government should get out of both health care and marriage IMO.

[Dan from Michigan]

The insurance lobbies p#%# me off even more than the gay lobby. I put them with the trial lawyers and gun grabbers.

Hear, hear.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Yeah, to be honest, that's something I've often wondered about.

If I had to venture a guess (YUK!) it may have something to do with why women can have multiple or no orgasms where men always have only one with the same equal pleasurable experience every time. Perhaps men are hardwired to be aroused when seeing a woman aroused regardless if it’s by male or female and knowing there’s always room for them to be received and plant his seed. The phenomena of the “train,” mostly urban legend always talked about at college parties, where multiple men take turns with one woman works only one way, you don’t see it with multiple women and one man. I would also point out that by a great margin most of the porn industry’s customers are male and most women don’t like watching it much less two women kissing.

That said and feeling a need to take a shower, homosexuality is disordered pathology, anti-social behavior and rightfully shunned by society.

Good read, CC.
