In reply to the discussion: My sexual orientation is being used as a political fucking football. 43 years of this crap. [View all]sibelian
(7,804 posts)25. I have no idea where it comes from.
Sometimes I just want to sit them down and say:
"OK.
So it's because I'm pedophile. Except I'm not, so it's not that. So it's because I;m into bestiality, except it's not, because I'm not. So it's because of AIDS, except I don't have AIDS, so it's not that either.
So, it's because if everybody else was gay there would be no more people, except that's stupid because no gay people suppose that there's anything wrong with heterosexuality and we're not a religion or political movement excepting in areas where we have to be in order to live any kind of ordinary life because the stupid legislation you people keep throwing at us. So it's because of butt-sex except it isn't, because YOU guys also have butt-sex and you don't care and loads of us don't bother with it. So it's against the teachings of the Lord except it isn't because the Bible doesn't barely mentions us and in many places where it does it's VERY unclear that it's actually us that it's talking about. So it's because we have an agenda and want to destroy marriage, except it's not, because wanting something that everyone else gets can IN NO WAY be supposed to be a denigration of that thing unless you're freakishly weird.
So what's you're ACTUAL beef with me?"
And yes, I think there will always be homophobia. It constantly thrashes about looking for new justifications for itself and reinvents them all the time. Whatever it is that makes them hate us, they don't know what it is. It's some deep twist inside them that they don't know how to get rid of and, I suspect, feel that they *can't* get rid of it without compromising their identity in some way.
Which is such a colossally fucked up piece of crap. Their identity has to be destroyed before they stop making things up about me?

Some of the Christian attitudes towards womanhood are just inexplicably fucked up.

Targets of bigotry often assume that they are somehow immune from being bigots.
