sexuality is the new racism? keith ledger seems to agree on that one.
sexual superstition is very old. look at what lott's neighbors said to him 3000 years ago. (no really look at the story, it's amazingly contemporary) lots neighbors said, 'either your friends have sex with us the way GOD intended people to have sex, or YOU and YOUR GUESTS will be rounded up and sacreficed in defense of GOD and our religion.' what's the difference today? where has religion gone with this message from lott's time? is the only message of this story to watch which neighborhood you move into?
supporting this superstitious sexuality is an elaborate series of personal aggreements among people. like with slavery, everyone has to aggree on what is superstitious sexuality, everyone has to work together to punish others for not conforming. and social as well as the religious threats of future punishment by god are loud and clear to further support racism/slavery/homophobia. yes, all three use the same social mechinism to spread the hate and intentional misunderstanding.
as we read some posts on chat rooms and in adds at the 'back' of one of our favorite magazines. racism in sexuality is still very strong. am sure it isn't learned so much as part of the inner human struggle to have genetic survival. merlin is sure that our genes dictate more than the color of our skin, it may attribute to sexual regionalism and racism.
and yes, there is no such thing as gay sex. there is only sex. those that make the distinction are doing so for political reasons. supersition in sexuality also creates the lack of information about sexuality in america, so who can make a good decision about sex when the government lies about sexuality and sexual transmitted deseases. the government is editing out and refuses to allow the word homosexaul on government websites etc.
it would not be so hard sometimes, if some superstitious people were not working so hard to make laws that suit their under research claims about sexuality.
