I asked a less politically active gay guy why gays did so many insane things to draw attention. (We were not being observed at the time.) He waved his hands in the air, pranced a bit and said, “lookatmelookatmelookatme. That’s it in a nutshell.”
“lookatmelookatmelookatme. That’s it in a nutshell.”
He was, of course, dead on. The vast majority of this crap is nothing more than an extremely sick case of narcissism; belly—button gazing of the highest, and most putrid, order. The entire world must be made to revolve, or stop revolving if I say so, around my bizarre behavior. I have known enough of these people well enough to be very confident about this.
