The celebrations are disproportionate because when the past n hundred years have been spent in an atmosphere where you're regarded as an aberration at best and something to be beaten up or killed at worst, you're going to be chuffed when the law says you can do the same things (that harm no-one) that straight people can do. Having negative feelings about homosexuality is, quite frankly, a ridiculous state of mind. It's like getting all up in my business because I don't like tinned salmon. To wit: as long as The Gays are not forcing you to either participate or watch (goes for straights, too; kiss/grope/fuck your partners in private, please), butt the fuck out. It's got nothing to do with you. I know I'm super-liberal about this sort of thing, though. As long as it's safe, legal and doesn't frighten the horses, I don't care who does what to whom with what. If two (or more!) people want to commit to each other, and codify that in a legal sense, good for them.

It's got nothing to do with you. Yes. Absolutely. I don't need to watch. I don't need to participate. I know my sexual proclivities and unless I specifically ask, I don't need you to dictate to me what you think it might 'really' be. It's very similar to fanboism in certain IT-related matters. It is a turn-off. Wade. Static Scribblings http://staticsan.blogspot.com/

Should we have Abolitionist Parades then? How long does this take? Especially over a non-issue. Maybe it's a consequence of how I was reared, or where (Southern California). I don't know. Or maybe I'm just an old relic ($DEITY knows I have the years for it). I was only a tot in the 1960's, but I think had I been the age I am now when the "sexual revolution" was going strong and casual, public sex (particularly among college aged students) was common, I would have felt the same way about that as I do gay parades. It's not anger I feel, it's more like, "Jesus. Everything that's happening in the world today and this is what you choose to do with your time and energy? This is what you choose to celebrate?" Everybody schtupps somebody some time. It's no big deal. It's difficult to "butt the fuck out" and that's what I'd most like to do, but having it incessantly thrown into your face is getting a little tiring. This marriage thing is idiotic. How the hell does Gay Marriage harm anyone? If those opposed would simply STFU and let it happen, the issue would go the fuck away - which is what I'd like it to do. I don't care about anybody's, check that, I do care about 3 marriages. Mine and my two daughters. Aside from that, what the fuck do I care if somebody wants to marry a goat? I don't have to live with it. But, please don't give me any photos. ;0)
