the celebratory obsession over matters related to anal sex is thoroughly inexplicable

(the celebratory obsession over matters related to anal sex is thoroughly inexplicable)

Reprobates and those celebrating reprobate behavior. As prophesied.

Romans 1:24-28
King James Version

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Romans 1:32
King James Version

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Please do not use their term “anal sex.” It is not sex. It is anal sexual contact.

Honestly...if this had been a monument to ANYTHING else, everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and thought "Eh. Looks like a bagel. Or whatever. Another example of bad modern art on in a public space."

However, designating it as an AIDS Memorial, well...one has to wonder why they chose that instead of ten million other potential art forms. Why choose, for an AIDS Memorial, a thing that looks like a hole, and a bumpy one at that?

But, it could be just bad art, I always keep in mind rules 22 through 26 from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen, a Communist who defected and wrote a book with these rules: :

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
    
    
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
    
    
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
    
    
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
    
    
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
