I think that they already are in a lot of ways. A few years ago, I went to a coworker's wedding celebration. He finally got to marry the person whom he wanted to spend his life with.
It is disgusting how negative heterosexuality has always been. Seriously, such power-tripping horseshit, "I'm better than you" shit. This is NOT love. Love, support, and praise your partner. Have your partner's back at all times, and rock your baby all night long! (Funny, the Blues Brothers' version of Gimme Some Lovin' just came up on the IPOD). I'm being dramatic, but how do we get heterosexuals to be solid and loyal partners?
I think the big difference is that our homosexual friends used to be willing to acknowledge the fact that they were engaged in an alternative lifestyle, and as one of the crooners of my generation used to sing were "taking a walk on the wild side" In the 70's, the homos, pimps, hoes, johns, voyeurs ,etc., loitered in downtown areas, meeting up with others of similar tastes to engage in alternative life styles.
Homos and pimps and that accepted the idea that most people just didn't accept their lifestyle, although some did and those who wanted to do it, knew where to go.
The new paradigm is that She-Males expect not just to be tolerated, but affirmed and approved of, even by those who have religious objections to perversity. The first time I went into a bar to drink I was just 17. Some Drag Queen walked into the joint, the barkeep immediately through him out, it wasn't that kind of joint.
What you seem to mean by LGBTs being "willing to acknowledge the fact that they were engaged in an alternative lifestyle" is that they should have continued to accept being kicked around, beaten up, and denied basic rights without complaint. These people have been stalked and attacked while just minding their own business. I had a gay friend who was beaten up.
I don't know what you mean by "affirmed and approved of." Just go about your own business. This is what we all have to do, regardless of what we think of another person. The whole world does not wait on your approval or mine. Moreover, the only people who care about someone's religious beliefs are those who hold them. I really don't care about someone else's beliefs. Why should anyone?
BTW: thanks for reminding me. I just pulled out my Lou Reed.
I'm all for treating people with respect. What I don't agree with is putting homos and hoes and pimps up on a pedestal as role models, particularly for the youths.
And that's what you are doing when you elevate folks openly engaged in the lifestyle to become school teachers or pastors or political leaders. Believe me, any cop can tell you about prominent people that have been seen getting involved in the alternative lifestyle that everyone thought were normative.
This makes no sense. LGBTs have a sexual orientation, no matter what their profession, just as heterosexuals do. What matters in being a role model is how good a job they do. "Hoes and pimps" have a profession, and the sex trade does not lead to a position as a teacher, a religious leader, or a political leader.
Actually, sometimes it does. Gov. Elliott Spitzer of New York was closeted as a "john" yet was a political leader. Ditto for the distinguished theologian Jimmy Swaggert. Oh. And how about Bill Clinton who actually fathered a child with a Little Rock Hoe.
