i don’t have little emoticons in my updates.
if i did i would use the one that gives the little ‘rolling eyes gesture of mild exasperation’. for, once again, i find myself in the strange position of having to describe my sexual preferences.
i’m like troy mcclure, i have a perversion that is so unique, so…anyone fancy a trip to aquarium? i wish that sexual orientation wasn’t a potentially divisive or negative issue for anyone. i wish that everyone could kiss and have sex with whomever they wanted to kiss and have sex with regardless of cultural or societal pressure (well, within legal reason, i think that age of consent laws exist to good purpose…).
but, i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i’m straight. i live in a very gay city and i have lots of gay friends and i love to go dancing to old punk rock in gay clubs, but i prefer having sexual and romantic contact with women. but i really wish that it weren’t an issue.
the old adage (i think i made it up, i’m not sure…) comes to mind: ‘if you’re a homophobe, pretend i’m gay’.
i’m really proud to live in one of the few cities in the world where gay couples can walk down the street holding hands and kissing and no one even gives it a second glance. i’m always happy seeing people in love walking down the street holding hands regardless of their sexual orientation.
love is nice. sex is nice. ones sexual orientation is one’s own business and shouldn’t, in my opinion, be subject to judgement or censure from anyone (well, like i said, age of consent laws are good things…).
i’m proud that the boards here are a place for people who are gay and straight and young and old and black and white and etc and etc. but, for what it’s worth, i’m straight. i really wish that it weren’t an issue, though. i wish that sexual orientation was like shoe size. something that everyone has that no one is ever judged for.
ok, off to the aquarium with troy for some good lovin’.
