I'm gonna get a statue for this one.
This part is for gay and straight people. In this case both groups have something
to learn. I know being gay all of a sudden is a big deal to you, but to other
people it ain't. They even might find it offensive. But you're thinking: "I want
to meet people of my "own kind" so I have to let them know I am "one" as well".
The further you go with showing people you are gay, the more they are going to
think you are weird, not at all like them. Believe me when I say that other lesbians
will know you are one as well. They probably knew it before you did. And believe
me when I say that you will recognize them too. Just wait and see. You will grow
some sort of a sixth sense for it. You'll be laying in your bed under the covers
whispering:"I see gay people".
And all you straights. You mean so well and try to accept it. You still think
in the back of your mind that it is a choice people make. Is falling in love with
the opposite sex a choice you made? You just do don't you? It doesn't even have
nothing to do with the sex. You like someone for the way he or she looks, talks
or thinks. With gays its no different. We were just like you in love with our
first grade teacher, not even knowing sex existed.
Let me finish this preach of with the wise words of a lesbian friend of mine:
"Heterosexuality is not normal, just common."
Doing the Do's:
- Do respect each other, unless the person is just one major asshole.
- Do start a conversation with gays or straights, you might have something else in common.
- Do be proud of who and what you are, unless you are a gay axe murderer or serial killer.
- Do seek therapy if you have a strange affection for axes or serial.
- Do consider that throwing your sexual preference around in public is never very appropriate,
- (unless of course they pay you well).
Doing the Don'ts:
- Don't make your sexual preference all there is about you, but on the other hand,
- Don't ask gay's not to talk about being gay so much, unless you want to have a quiet evening.
- Don't think being gay is a choice or something you can cure, lighting a candle does not work.
- Don't walk around with pink triangles or other signs, unless you like to be beaten up.
- Don't say:"I have many gay friends." Can't figure out what that supposed to tell me.
- Don't buy Melissa Etheridge or KD Lang songs :)
Note to all the (starting) lesbians who read this:
Ever laughed at the super female, loudmouthed, skinny, gay
guys? That's no different than the butchy, chained, pierced lesbian wearing army
shoes and woodcutter shirts. OK, OK, I have a piercing, have a pair of army shoes
in the closet and can be pretty butchy now and then. Just don't be always like
that. Nobody likes stereotypes. Just act normal and being accepted to both groups
will be much easier!
