Sweet! by Smated http://faggots.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/waitso-if-i-stick-my-penis-in-a-vagina-i-can-get-married-sweet/#comment-77 Smated Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:14:12 +0000 http://faggots.wordpress.com/?p=80#comment-77 For me its more than gay marriage, its gay rights in general. We will beat the ignorance of the straight homophobes. Give it a few more years. We're already making good progress whether they like it or not. It will happen sooner or later. No one can understand any circumstances unless they've experienced them themselves. Everyone likes to be an expert. Eh, anyway, I feel your pain.

Personally, I get really fed up with people thinking I'm some creepy old man every time I so much as glance at some kid on campus who turns out to be a freshman. How about letting them decide for themselves if I'm too old for them? And really, if someone's good-looking and confident of themselves, that's attractive. What's not attractive is being gloomy about being old. (What's also not attractive is being too immature to realize this, which is the real reason I couldn't date most freshmen. A few of them are probably mature individuals, though.) I’m 25 and in grad school, and just came out to myself recently (or whatever you call it when you figure out you’re gay).

I too worry about the gay world being taken over by these guys who think that life is an orgy and the MVP has the biggest tool and longest stamina. I have to say, you did a great job of explaining things to him. He clearly couldn't have the same level of discourse you are capable of, and never got the point, but that's a reflection on him, not you. Keep fighting the good fight ;) Congratulations on an awesome post.

Trust me, I am grateful for the support and care that my family members give me. However, that doesn't absolve them of the incorrectness of what they said. If, for instance, a white foster father told his black foster son that he understood his social marginalization regarding race, it would be soooo wrong.

Appreciate that your parents and friends actually care, no matter if they truly understand or not.

It's actually from Larry Kramer's novel, Faggots. I think it's a great text, and necessary reading for any gay man because it discusses issues of body commodification and queer relationships. I wouldn't use it as a guideline for living and loving though, haha. Why thank you! It’s actually from Larry Kramer’s novel, Faggots.
