You know what, don’t even bother explaining to me the antipathy that straights have for gays and gays have for straights. I don’t understand it, I never have, and I don’t think I ever will.<\/p>\n
Straights: gays aren’t going to make you want to wear lavender and arrange flowers, unless you like that sort of thing to begin with.<\/p>\n
Gays: if you enter a straight conservative (like Baptist) church, you’re not going to be struck dead by God, nor dragged to the altar and sacrificed, nor even stoned to death. If they even know you’re gay to begin with – and why is it anyone’s<\/i> business who’s sleeping with whom? <\/p>\n
Yeah if you go around announcing details of your sex life, you’ve opened a gossip door. You’re showing that it’s ok to gossip about your sex life, so others probably will too. This is the same case with both gays and straights. <\/p>\n
And if you’re sitting over there on your high moral ground, looking down your nose at those who don’t subscribe to your point of view, you can go to hell. <\/p>\n

\nThan are dreamt of in your philosophy.” <\/i><\/p>\n

(this post is mostly based on overhearing a guy last night tell his friend something like “Can you believe it? Me! I actually set foot<\/i> in a Baptist church. I was terrified!” What the hell did you think they’d do, eat you and then go play with their rattlesnakes?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
