The guy I work with is against homosexuality, though I'd say he's the gayest person I've ever met, the weirdo with his halo cult garbage. I never knew what to think of it myself. This being America, we're free to do whatever we want sexually as long as it does not hurt anyone or involve children, so I'm not seeing anything wrong there. It's when it comes to people's fears of their own children somehow growing up and being influenced to turn the other way or if like with the military where you're shacked up for months with a bunch of dudes that you don't know are into you or not that it becomes worrisome. Then of course there's Homophobia, fear of gays and fear of being gay yourself. I think honestly that everybody's a little gay sometimes. It's that Carl Jung stuff. We have both female and male personality traits within us. One of my professors was the most feminine man I've ever seen, yet had a wife and kids and went to church every sunday like a traditional old family... That was eye opening. America, land of the unexpected...
That's why you can't judge people on face value alone. Though that'll never end. It's just a percentage thing, the more of a type of person people interact with, the more the person will believe all those types of people are that way. It's lame, but everybody does it. I look at this country and know it's not to the point yet when I can walk around feeling fully 100% like I belong to the same human club as everybody else. And that's awful. I think sometimes of what white people think of me when I'm out there alone... It's not "oh he's just another human being like us." It's "Is he spanish? Does he speak english?"
Then again I'm guilty of this as well in regards to asians who I made the mistake of assuming were all familiar with asian culture. There are asian guys all over my work place who don't know squat about asia. Hell, I've got some asian in me afterall and I don't know a thing about the place beyond what I've seen in karate movies.
So yeah back to my original point, this guy I work with is probably a fag. And that's ok because America's where we do whatever the hell we want.
