JUST LIKE US

Homosexuals say they just want to be accepted, they want to be treated like everyone else. They just want to fit into society like the Irish or firemen. But, I wonder if that’s true.

Nothing sets back gay/straight relations further than a gay pride parade. Look, most people really don’t care if you’re gay, they look upon you like everyone else. Until the parade. Once they see you dancing down the street in a leather thong, they never look at you the same again. Now, I know that may not be fair. Hey, they march down the street wearing a green wig on St. Patrick’s Day and no one gives that a second thought. But, the wig isn’t semi-pornographic and completely disgusting, it’s just stupid.

Then there’s the public high school in New York for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and “questioning” students. This has been lauded by the gay community as a haven for these students who are often treated as outcasts. It also is a voluntary segregation, thereby assuring they will be treated differently.

To top everything off, Bravo has a new show, “Boy Meets Boy”, a reality show with one gay man trying to find a soul mate from fifteen other boys. The fun thing is, some of them are straight and if a straight guy can get the star of the show, James, to pick him, the straight guy wins cash money! If a gay guy is picked, James and his soul mate win money and an all expense paid trip. Nearly all of the gay sites I checked thought this show was just super! I think it treats homosexuals as entertainment, but they don’t seem to care. The only gay I found who thought like I do was actually James, the “star” of the show.

So, do they want to be “just like everyone else”? I don’t think so.
