Man, talk about someone reading wayyyy too much into a word.
Did I say anywhere that I cared if anyone was gay or not? Nope, as a matter of fact, I think I was making the exact opposite point.
Don't advertise yourself unless you want to open yourself up the attention that the advertisement is likely to cause.....be it good OR bad.
Can't have it both ways. There WILL be people in this world that will absolutely HATE you for being gay. Just like there will be people that hate you
for being emo or fat or anything else that person might not consider "normal".
Hell, look at fat people as an example. A good majority of the United States is fat, yet, fat people take criticism on a level (at times) gay people
could NEVER understand. Is that criticism warranted? At times, yes but most of the time no. Same with gay people, sometimes the verbal attacks are
called for and sometimes they are not.
If you come through anywhere near me with a gay pride parade, I'm likely to keep my mouth shut and avoid it. However, if you come through my area
with a gay pride parade and I just happen to be stuck near it and I witness two half naked men licking all over each other and being otherwise lewd,
then I'm damn sure gonna say something. Why? Because I don't want to see that anymore than I want to see a man and woman out in public doing it.
In regards to gaydom being a craze, it is. Hell, what exactly warrants Dumbledore from a freaking TERRIBLE kids' book being gay gaining national
media attention at a time when our president (of sorts) is talking World War III? Not only that, but talks of gay fairy tales for school children and
other similar idiocies....
Of course being gay is nothing new. However, jumping up and down and screaming from the rafters that you are gay in groups of thousands IS a
relatively new thing and it raises the ire of some folks and should be avoided by anyone who doesn't want the attention it's going to bring.
