All I Really Want To Do... - May 6, 2007
Posted: 19 years ago - May 05, 2007Then I make it clear that "All I really wanna do - is baby be friends with you!"
The Far Right pundits, politicians, preachers and pseudo-psychologists (yes, this means you, James Dobson!) have done such a splendid job of rearing up their self-fabricated, monstrously grim Spectre of the "civilization-threatening, Satan-inspired Gay Agenda" that the general populace unfortunately gets duped into believing their home-spun lies.
Case in point: ENDAs (Employment Non-Discrimination Amendments), Gay Adoption Bills, Hate-Crimes legislation and Gay Marriage. On these hot issues, I often end up doing an odd form of "TG Apologetics" and "Outreach Education" even to get my non-Gay or non-Transgender friends to halfway grab a hold of where we all are coming from!
Concerning most of these, the Bigots claim we are after "special" rights that no one else has. That’s pure hogwash, jackal excrement and horse dung!
After President Lincoln set the slaves free in 1863 all the laws were in place for Blacks to have true liberty. But that freedom didn’t truly happen. Blacks only got to be dirt-poor share-croppers while the Whites no longer had to house, feed or cloth them anymore! The so-called better laws of the victorious Union were not ever equitably enforced. Racial bigots used religion and economics to circumvent justice. Then the heinous Jim Crow system of so-called jurisprudence rose up. It wasn’t until 1963+ when the Civil Rights Movement FORCED the entrenched Hegemony of Hatred to begin crumbling.
Because sinful and selfish mankind NEVER willingly surrenders or shares the Seat of Power with anyone merely because it’s the right thing to do.
And just for the record - we ain’t waiting no 100 years to walk in True Freedom and Equality!!!
Some say being Gay isn’t like the Racial issue - which becomes an issue instantly upon a glance - and is DNA-verifiable. Because (according to these critics) Gayness is a type of activity and not a real state of being. One can simply NOT do any Gay sex - or not tell anyone if you do engage in it. But being Transsexual IS built in - some way, some how. It is a state of being (i.e. you are Trans, no matter what you do or don’t do); - and it likewise is often detected at a glance. Especially when you’re a tall girl like me!
But from where I sit, you cannot immediately tell if a person is Straight either. (Ask the fallen Rev. Ted Haggard). Does that mean being Heterosexual isn’t a legitimate state of being either?
That infantile, myopic sort of logic just doesn’t fly in an intelligent world, my friends!
Our careers, our families, our safety, and our loves are all REAL - and are just as legitimate as any Straight person’s are. To deny that is to either admit utter stupidity - or to brazenly proclaim one’s raw, oppressive and un-Christlike prejudicial mentality. It’s just another instance of Jim Crow-ism. Except this one is written on PINK paper. Just Delete "Blacks" - and insert "Gays" or "Transgenders".When you do that, Dylan’s old protest songs suddenly become relevant again!
It’s all the same damn poison - served up on a hypocritical Communion platter in the name of an evil IDOL of DEATH that the Far Right deceptively portrays as the True and Living God!
