Sure, Why Not?

You know, I’m all for gay marriage and such. Gay people have every right to be gay. They shouldn’t feel bad about, since it’s just part of who they are. People who have a problem with them being who they are aren’t worth the dirt under my shoes. A gay person is no different from me at all. What does the fact he/she likes to be sexually and romantically involved with someone of the same sex matter to me in the least bit? Not a thing.

However! I’m really getting tired of this idea that I need to do anything more for them than support their right to marry each other and raise children and be who they are. Rather there’s this pride stuff everywhere. Their gay-ass (hehe) pride flag getting shoved down your throat. There’s nothing special about it, guys. It’s a fucking rainbow! In nature, it’s a result of scattered light. When the sun shines after a rain storm, the sky is not showing gay pride. It’s showing scattered light from different areas on the visible spectrum. What about that says “I’m proud to be a man who fucks another man in the ass”?

But, hey, before you go hanging me for this, well, reread the first paragraph. Hehe. Anyway, I guess it’s gay culture in general I find to be kind of retarded. Just like black culture, Latino culture, white culture, etc. Why the different cultures? Aren’t we all the same culture? Shouldn’t we be, anyway? You all want equality and all, but then you embrace some culture that serves only to make you different based on something very superficial. What the hell is the point? Aren’t you proud enough of yourself on your own? Do you really need such ridiculous reinforcement? Shit, I’ve got dry skin. Should there be a Dry Skin Pride culture for others like me?

Like I said like a second ago, other than the fact that you prefer someone the same gender as you while I prefer someone the opposite gender from me, we’re just people! What does sexuality have to do with anything? You just found out you’re gay? Well, good for you. We can discuss it, sure. But don’t go wearing all rainbow colored clothes, acting all flamboyant, talking about how cute every guy you see is (even ones who are clearly butt-ass ugly), speaking with a lisp, and wishing you were Marilyn Monroe, now. That’s just stupid.

In fact, this all comes from being insecure with yourself, a trait which has been known to single-handedly make people extremely annoying. How come you feel like you’re under some obligation to act out as many gay stereotypes as possible? That doesn’t make you more gay. You’re as gay as you’ll get already. What do you think you’re trying to do? Piss off bigots? Well, you’re not. In fact, you’re just making them happy to see you living up to the role they’ve pegged you as: an overly sexual effeminate moron. They love it! For them, it makes it so much easier to stereotype you and belittle you. I’m not saying you have to remain in the closet, but you shouldn’t be making an enormous deal about it either. Of course, I’ll concede that this type of behavior is mostly what I see in people who only recently either realized it or came out or whatever. After knowing it for a while and having let it digest a bit, they mellow out some.

So I guess it’s not being comfortable enough with yourself to not give a shit what others think about it. Sure, a lot of the more flaming types like to SAY they don’t give a shit, but if they really didn’t, they wouldn’t feel the need to flaunt it all the time. Homer Simpson only likes “his gays fa-laaaaaaming” because that’s what he thinks all gay people should be so he can avoid them since he thinks less of them. Would you really want to give someone like that what he wants? In fact, being non-flamboyant about it will help homosexuality by proving that in fact anyone can be gay, not just men who have certain “unmanly” traits like a fashion sense or a Barbie doll collection, or women who wear flannels and have extremely short hair. In fact, it goes both ways. I like football and baseball, despise the color pink, never carry a purse, never wear make up, don’t do a thing with my hair beyond straightening it after a shower and tying it back, just wear the same standard jewelery everyday, and if you ever see me wearing a dress, call the police because chances are I’m at gun point. Despite all that, guess what! I’m not a lesbian!

If you want people to quit stereotyping you, quit going out of your way to be stereotypes! Is it THAT hard? Come on.
