Okay, so I'll put it out there. I love men and women. Not quite equally, women are more appealing because they actually have a legitimate entry point, but I have had sexual relations with men before; hell, I flirt with gays. I'm all for it. What I don't like about those goddamn homosexuals is the way they portray themselves. No, not the bullied underdogs. This is not about the "normal" gays. This is about the prancing self-righteous twats. You know the ones, the girly, obvious gays? Yeah. They suck.
I'd like to think that sexual orientation and preference just... is. It's as common as having a hair-colour. As common as having opinions. It's as common as being alive. You're born with this, it's not something you can shake off. You can't shake off loving women as much as you can loving men, this goes for men and women. It's a part of who you are. I don't want anybody to throw that away. What I do want is to stop putting these boundaries up between LGBT communities, and "straights". I know it's there because LGBT aren't given the same treatment as "normies," but education on this issue to the uninformed masses is completely backwards. We almost raise these people up on a pedastool, saying "these people are mistreated, and we should treat them right!" Good! We should treat them right! But not by putting them on that pedastool.
We need to teach people that sexual orientation isn't a mystical or mysterious thing. It's not rocket science. Some people love men, some love women. It just is. In my opinion, putting the mistreated underdog on the pedastool, intentionally or otherwise, damages this cause. People wave their hands around saying "I'm gay! Treat me normal!" Well the first thing is to treat yourself as normal. This doesn't apply to everyone, and certainly not the majority. It applies to the silent in-the-closet types, and the aforementioned annoying preachy dickholes who prance around like they have a family of termites lodged up their asscrack. This is bad. They must stop. It's self-deprecation, it damages the public's view, and reinforces this negative stereotype. I know a lot of gays, and I could reckon that 2/3 would stand with me and say that you are ruining this for us. The other 1/3? Is the prancy one.
So what I'm trying to say, slowly, is that... discrimination against gays is awful. It's sickening that people are such bigoted assholes still exist (especially when they use religion as a shield to validate their opinions, God loves everyone y'know, if I believed in him in I'd make that argument, anyway). You know this is 2010 right? The end of 2010, for that matter. This isn't the backwards era of the 1800s, this is meant to be the future! I mean, for Pete's sake. It should stop. But on that note, you gays and bis have to do something about it too. I envision a future in which "sex shoppe" provides kinky toys for all sexualities, where specialized "Tool Sheds" are a thing of the past. Where token gays are no longer found in movies, but instead, just... there. I envision a world in which sexuality just is, where it isn't something special, where people aren't straight until proven otherwise, even. Where children are blank slates and make their way towards self-discovery without feeling that they're "wrong", or different. And everybody has to work on achieving this image. You want to stop being treated as different? That stop thinking like you are different. That's step one.
Just let it be.
Oh and just a note, don't look up "gays kissing" with safe-search off and your door open. That could be very awkward.
