Well, lostkitty, I can only agree with you wholeheartedly. I know exactly how you feel. If I have to go to AMC24 one more time to see a good old-flashioned action flick, only to be surprised half-way through it by Tom Cruise suddenly getting nasty with some buxom blonde/brunette/redhead… I mean, it’s OK to be heterosexual, but why does it constantly have to be shoved down my throat? And didn’t I pay 10 bucks to see an ACTION flick?!
My point is, lostkitty, and trust me on this… from my side of things, there is far more “promotion” of straight life out in the media. I know, I know, not a fair comparison, you’ll say. But this is how it feels being gay. Just try for a moment to imagine a world where 95% of the world is different in the most fundamental of ways and half of that 95% actively despises you. It’s not fun, trust me. And then having those same people telling you that you made “a lifestyle choice”… is, well, infuriating.
Why exactly do conservatives even care how gay people even lead our lives? If we’re being decent, honest, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens, then, for God’s sake, just let us be.
And if the gay agenda is to simply be given the same legal rights you already have and always will have, what exactly is your objection?
From my standpoint, the only honest answer is simply bigotry. Call it what you will, but that is what I see.
But I do think that as the younger generation, the Xs, the Ys, the 2Kers, grow into adulthood and middle-age, these points will become moot. I hope.
