Gay That.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it, that\u2013<em>who you fuck<\/em> or <em>what kind of genitals\/hormones\/sex issues you have\u2013<\/em>makes any darn difference to anyone at ALL, except you, your partner, or any potential partners?<\/p>\n<p>When will America have a Straight Rights Demonstration? A Pride Parade? When will straight Americans decide, because of their sexual peference\/orientation, that they should let their preference or orientation dictate the way they work at their job, the way they govern people, the way they run their company?<\/p>\n<p>Never. On all counts. That would be ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as the above are\/have been.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe with the exception of rights demonstrations, only because in my mind, I know that a) asking to be treated fairly and equally are valid and CRUCIAL as they are to ALL humans and etc. and that b) it was OK with me if you want to denote your partner as your beneficiary, next of kin, etc. But haven\u2019t we passed that point yet? Is there more that you require from your country, for you to feel complete?<\/p>\n<p>Why is it important that companies have \u201cgay\u201d friendly and\/or \u201cresponsible\u201d projects and\/or policies? Can\u2019t they just leave their employees alone? Isn\u2019t treating a GLBT person differently, basically fencing them in and sort of seperating them from the rest of the world?<\/p>\n<p>And why does Joe Schmoe Office Manager have to go to his company\u2019s equivalent of a \u201cGLBT sensitivity\u201d meeting? So that he can be aware that because there are gay people in the office he has to treat them any differently or more special than anyone else? Why aren\u2019t we just all treat each other equally to begin with, regardless? Isn\u2019t that what the earlier Gay Rights advocates we became familiar with in the 60s-70s Stonewall era, were pushing for??<\/p>\n<p>And why all the fuss with corporate and hiring practices? WHY does a company NEED to emphasize that they hire and\/or support openly gay individuals. Can\u2019t that just be assumed? A given? And just effing hire them? Why does this university say that they intend to hire openly gay professors and faculty? Can\u2019t the faculty just be hired and keep their genitals &amp; hormones out of it??<\/p>\n<p>I realize \u2018openly gay\u2019 refers to being \u2018out\u2019, however don\u2019t these people all have great \u2018gaydar\u2019, and if so, what\u2019s the purpose of purporting that you are openly gay? Can\u2019t your gay\/lesbian colleagues\/students\/etc. tell??<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that I take offense to someone saying, \u201cI\u2019m gay\u201d it\u2019s jsut that a) it\u2019s really none of my business, and b) what does you or I being gay have to do with whatever relationship you and I have, as a teacher\/student, colleague, employer\/employee, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Do you see where I\u2019m going with this? So you\u2019re gay. Or lesbian. Or on the fence, or you are in between sex changes. Or whatever That\u2019s great. But\u2026so effing what?<\/p>\n<p>I frankly do not give a shit. And I certainly don\u2019t let it dictate what I think of you otherwise, as a person.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you still confused\u2026let me pose this to you. How do you feel about me telling you that I have a thing for ball-gags? Wouldn\u2019t that constitute TMI? Wouldn\u2019t you rather have a boil implanted onto your ass?<\/p>\n<p>Thought so. Now let\u2019s just be friends and cut out all this other bullshit.<\/p>\n<p>No related posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seems many things these days are gay.
