What is with this all-absorbing facination with homosexuality that has engulfed our society and particularly Hollywood?
Several movies nominated for “the Best Picture of the Year” including “Capote” and the mysterious “Brokeback Mountain” (I say “mysterious” because, from what I’ve heard, it’s impossible to find out how many people saw it.) have homosexual themes.
Why? Homosexuals and all other non-heterosexuals represent, at most 7% of the population. What are issues to them are real and sometimes, as in the case of HIV, tragic, but does that mean that the other 93% of the population has to be absorbed in them?
From the point of view of the homosexual activists, the answer is a loud and roaring, “Yes”! For years now this cadre has been trying to hustle the notion that we’re all pan-sexual in order to legitimize themselves and gain right that they have no right to.
I have heard no logical argument that proves or justifies the notion that heterosexual and homosexual are like flavors of the ice-cream of sexuality.
The damage that homosexuality and lesbianism has done to heterosexuality has been enormous. I caught myself using the term, “guys” when talking about a group of women the other day and immediately and publically corrected myself.
Women are not men.
At the beginning of the homosexual rights movement, there was a certain cache in being “cool” about homosexuality.
It is old stuff now. As I’ve said before, “gay” is about the last word I would use to describe the homosexual life. If you don’t believe me, read abot Noel Coward, W H Auden or Truman Capote.
It is beyond me why we should be more concerned about homosexuals (that does not mean a total lack of sympathy and concern) than, say, our children.
