It was just a massage...

Ok, duh- This dude is all over the news lately because apparently there have been some shocking accusations surrounding his sexuality. Shocking? Really? Come on now, is everyone really that stupid.

Ted Haggard was the leader of the 30 million member National Association of Evangelicals; in other words he’s the head honcho to millions of other little, confused, idiots who spent most of their time vehemently condemning homosexuality. Haggard was a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage- go figure. Mike Jones is a 49 year old escort who is now claiming Haggard paid him for sex once a month for the past three years. Jones decided to come forward when he couldn’t bare to hear Haggard and the New Life Church publicly opposing same-sex marriage when he knows the dude saying it has had ‘gay sex’ with him. Not only did they have hot steamy (gay) sex but they did it while snorting methamphetamine to heighten the sexual experience. The Reverend has admitted to buying the meth and receiving a massage from Mike Jones but THAT’S ALL. Ok, whatever dude, like people honestly believe that- sure. Oh wait, he’s saying that yes, he bought the stuff but he never used it…. This is just plain funny.

Things like this drive me to the brink of insanity; religious issues aside, people like Haggard need to SHUT UP. There are two things on my mind here: one, when people are so fucking stupid and blind when it comes to homosexuality and two, when people who are gay but refuse to admit it. I have tons of patience when it comes to those who are obviously dealing with their own internal struggle with being gay but when they play both sides and oppose the gay side vocally that’s when I loose it. I am well aware that this is a huge subject but for argument sake I’d like to keep it narrowed to those gay people who feel the need to flash the straight card to try to prove it to themselves and others that they are not. We can open the floor to other arguments later.

There are so many people I know who are gay but are either too young to know it yet, too stubborn to see it, or too confused to label it as such- yet. I have a co-worker who is so obviously gay but from my understanding has a “fiancé” who he intends to marry in April. Now this dude is a decent looking African American guy with a very masculine rock solid body but if you saw him walk and heard him talk you’d think the same thing- the guy is gay but just doesn’t know it yet. Plus the guy is a dancer… come on now. That's just one example but I have many others. I guess it’s easier to list some of the things I hate instead of trying to figure them out by rambling.

1. When straight women fall for gay men. He’s GAY… I don’t get it.


2. When straight women think they can ‘get’ a gay man. Again, he’s gay, he doesn’t want to have sex with a women. Go away-


3. When I see a married couple (man, woman) and it’s obvious that they are both gay. Example: People who look and act like ‘Jack’ from Will and Grace and we’ll say… people who look like ‘Ellen’. Come on now, what are you two doing? Come out already.


4. When a woman who is wearing a bandana, riding a motorcycle, wearing work boots, talking trash, sounding like a man, looking stereotypically lesbian then mentions her husband in conversation. What?!


5. When straight people feel the need to constantly hang out with or around gay people and feel an undying need to show their “support”. Gee thanks, but it’s actually gay people to come out that we need so unless you are, go away. You can show your support on Election Day, in politics in general and in your everyday conversation. That’s where we need the “support”.


6. When everyone is “shocked” at allegations like the one with Rev. Haggard. Look at the guy!


7. When people refuse to believe someone could be gay because they are either married, having sex with the opposite sex, a feminine sexy women, a masculine man, a mom with kids, or a leader in the world. Wake up people.

I could of course go on and on about this subject and while I may come across as sounding harsh and or one sided myself, I want to stress that even if I may loose it in every once in awhile in this blogging thing, I can only wish I were more outspoken in the real world. I don't wish to 'out' anyone before they are ready, accuse someone of something that may not be correct or assume someone is gay just because they choose to look like a man or act like a woman- but come on now, if we could just cut through all the crap wouldn't it be easier?
