@SABOTEUR: Yes, sir. Problem is, I don’t see a way out of it. The mainstream, watered down, defanged “gay rights movement” has completely let its enemies set the terms of the agenda. They respond to the criticism that it’s an immoral or perverted choice with the notion that “we were born this way, we can’t help it, pity us!” I don’t know what to do, because I don’t agree with either narrative. One side would like me to die in a camp, while the other would merely like me to shut up so they can get married.
@JLeslie : Thank you. But what isn’t heightened as a teenager? And you’re talking about feeling like an outsider to someone who is transsexual and knew he was queer of some variety by about age 12… ;)
You know what fascinates me… Is that the word “heterosexual” was only coined and categorized as the scientific norm or majority after scientists invented the concept and word “homosexual.”
This stuff is all made up, historically contingent, culturally reinforced, and yet we let it imprison and separate us…
