I think gay people are nature's answer to the over-population our planet is facing because Mormons believe there are kolobillions of spirits waiting to be born into human bodies on Earth. Nature, through homosexuals, is trying to cut down on births and thus save our planet.
But wait, wait, the irony continues. Kind and loving gay couples who want to adopt a baby unwanted by its bio parents often can't. Back in the late 1990's, my boss was a smart and artsy lesbian who had been in a monogamous relationship for 20 years. She and her partner wanted to adopt a baby who had been born with AIDS. They were denied because they were lesbians. They were denied because religious homophobes would rather a baby with AIDS be alone, possibly die alone, rather than live in a loving family just because that family happened to have two mothers instead of a mother and a father. But it's okay to put that baby into a household of people who will raise him or her to judge, to condemn, to believe all sorts of wackaloonery (thank you, Amy, for that word).
What a crazy, crazy world in which we live!
I agree, pretty twisted. I'm going to add wackaloonery to my vocab too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! And you are certainly not alone in your thinking there, I've been thinking the same thing for years. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI just want to point out that the term "homosexual" has been demonstrated to be a derogatory slur. Notice how anti-gay activists use "homosexual" while pro-gay activists use "LGBTQ" or "gay men," "lesbians," etc. In a survey where the same questions were asked about gay rights (marriage, adoption), using either "homosexuals," or "gay men and lesbians," when "gay men and lesbians" was used, people gave a significantly more positive response. When people hear "homosexual," they tend to automatically (and falsely) associate it with perversion, pedophilia, etc. and have a significantly more negative response. Similar to the effect of using the N word or other racial slurs.
Ah poopsicles! Thanks for updating me! I do suck at keeping up with current terminology. Will go change it :o)
ReplyDeletewow, never expected my inane trivia to have an effect on other people ... huh :D
