Harvey Firestein
That does it. I know my wife and I have an anniversary coming up in 3 weeks. But I am going to renounce my marriage, my sexuality, and take up with Harvey. He was on tv, and he was... Gay(sob,sob). I couldn't control myself. I am going to move to Vermont and get the civil ceremony done with right away.
I used to think that closet case, was just a pejorative word for people who were religiously opposed to homosexuality. But now, I wonder if there isn't a grain of truth to that.
It is one thing to say that I believe the bible is true, therefore I oppose homosexuality. It is quite another to have all these fearful conversion fantasies, and ludicrous outrage over a make-over show.
I know a very good christian, devout devout christian, who believes homosexuality is wrong. He is nothing but loving and christ like though to a lesbian co-worker. She knows what he believes, he knows what he believes, if she asks him, he will tell her. He does not spin paranoid thoughts about mass conversion movements, and that allowing your wife to watch Ellen will turn her into... one of them.
I suspect some of these people are secretly attracted, in some small part, to people of the same sex, and fighting off those urges, drives them a bit fruity(pardon the pun).
I am not in the least bit suggesting that those who are fundamentalists change their views on homosexuals. I just get tired of the "Reefer Madness" aspect of their diatribes.
