I'm over it. Society as a whole that is. I cannot stomach anymore bigotry veiled in religion or "what has always been."
I lost my shit in public today, after calmly asking the others involved to "please do not talk about this around me." I'm sick of it! I'm white, I'm straight, and I'm male. I'm not who you think I am tho. You look at me and size me right up. You're wrong, I'm not like you. Biggest difference is I'm not afraid of people who are different. The people I love are all races, religions, and sexual orientation. I do not begrudge them who they are, because who they are is quintessential to my love for them.
"I have a friend who is gay," is the new "I'm not racist, I have a black friend." Why do you care? Because Jesus said to love everyone, except for queers? Pretty sure that isn't in any version of the Bible I've read. You go and dig out some passages written in the Old Testament that support your hatred and throw them in my face. "See it's in the Bible," you say to me proudly. It also says to not eat Pork or get tattoos, but your love for bacon, and your tribal shoulder peice make those a lessor rule, I suppose.
I may have a different experience being who I am and looking the way I do. People feel free to spout all kinda of nonsensical bigotry out in front of me.
I no longer hold my tongue.
Think being gay is a choice?
Choose not to be gay
Think gay marriage is wrong?
Don't marry a gay person
Gay sex disgusts you?
That's right don't fuck a gay person. Keep your ignorant bullshit to yourself.
Some would say my ease of dropping curse words is lazy. Some would say it is ignorant and that a smart person would find a way to say it without sinking to curse words.
Go fuck yourself, this is my blog. I write about the things that make me happy, the things that make me sad, and frankly the things that piss me off.
Stay in your hula hoop, worry about you and yours. "I just don't want to see it." Tough shit I don't wanna see you grab your wife's ass at the Pitt Grill but.......
Peace, Love, and Pizza
