Loving The Sinner…(continued)

From Pam’s House Blend

Pizza To Go at the North Carolina 2008 Pride parade.  Well that sure makes me want to start going to church again…

 

 

One Response to “Loving The Sinner…(continued)”

  1. Bob C Says:

    You know…maybe I’m just an idiot.
    But when I see females (Except for the Phelps hate-breeders) waving these kinds of signs, the first thing into my mind is "They are just jealous. What could be more frightening to a girl raised in the sort of patriarchic society we have….then a Gay man. What is a much bigger competition then other girls? And an un-beatable one at that? Well, Gay men!
     Other girls cling like fag-hag fruit-flies to their Gay boy friend, and the assumption is probably correct: It is a relationship with a male that is "Safe" and never (Usually) going to be spoiled and poluted by sexual tensions and such. And the gay boy friend (Not boyfriend) usually likes having a straight girl friend (Not girlfriend) ….for beauty and fashion tips AND for the same reasons as the girl: A friendship un-poisoned by sexual tension or THOSE kinds of hidden motives or agendas.
    I have had PLENTY of experiences in my past (Which if nothing else, I learned that there are some guys that you should just walk away from, no matter how cute….) where girls (Usualy girl-friends….with issues) of the guy got EXTREMELY bent out of shape about me being in their boy friends life. (I’m talking about closeted gay guys, or "bi-guys") And those kittens have very sharp claws, and relish the chance to use them.
    But at the bottom of that is not truly homophobia so much as "I" represent a competition that they cannot possibly compete with. And such girls almost ALWAYS hate to lose.
    Whats more is that they really are not afraid of what *I* will do, they are scared shitless of what their "boyfriend" (Boy-friend, boy friend etc, whatever their idea is) will do. 
    If they were completely secure in the idea that their boy friend (or boyfriend) was completely straight, then they wouldnt worry or care about ME in the least bit. But so often, the girlfriend/girl friend has almost as good GayDar as *I* do….and they sense something about their boyfriend that makes them very very insecure and fearful. 
    And hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned…much less one that cannot ever be in a position to be truly scorned….which pokes a whole in their egos as well.
    So some girls fight and screech and scratch on a typical girl cat-fight level.
    Yet others jump to the hyper-religious (When they havnt been in a church in years) homophobia and hellfire and damnation condemnation of ALL Gay people, and try to badger and browbeat and shame their "Liberal minded" boyfriend/boy friend into not having ANY sort of relationship or friendship with a Gay man. (Kind of like a terrified parent banning their kid from having Gay friends)
    But, on the other hand, many of these younger kids waving pizza boxes (Or professionally made da-glow signs) have simply been indoctrinated since day one with this crap. And many of those kids are SO full of anger and fear and insecurity from being brought up by THOSE kinds of parents, that they relish and cling to these ideas, tactics and demonstrations because it gives them a "legit" (In their parents/churches eyes) venue for venting their painful burning hatred and victimizing someone else with no repercussions.
    They don’t have to take responsability for being so hateful, in fact, their behavior is rewarded.
    So I wonder what catagory the girl in that picture falls into? The terrified girlfriend who’s boyfriend came out and went to his hearts true desire? Or simply the hateful little brat spawn of hateful parents?
    Well whatever, sticks and stones (And school bullies with guns) can break my bones, but pizza boxes can never hurt me. (And sometimes provide comic relief)
