The "gay agenda" vs. the closeted gay homophobe agenda

[mhatrw]

Personally, I've never understood what people meant when they said "gay agenda" before. I mean, what is the "gay agenda" other than equal rights?

But suddenly, considering Foley and Haggard, I think we all need to start worrying about the closeted gay homophobe agenda. I don't know about you, but I think pathological self-loathing, secret gay/straight family love triangles, crystal meth abuse, prostitution, sexual assault and pedophilia are far more alarming than equal rights under the law.

1. Their agenda is to push moralism as much as possible

without being personally bound by it. It's that simple.

I think we need to pay attention to our reaction to it, though. Too many people are using gay jokes to mock these people. That will ultimately do us more harm than good.

I can already hear some straight people saying, "Well, they're making gay jokes, so it must be okay!"

That's not what we want to promote.

2. There will never be equal rights so long as there is a "closet"...

in my opinion.

[ThomCat]

3. Or as long as people get mocked with gay jokes

when they get dragged out of it.

4. The closeted gay homophobe agenda is:

to vilify and terrorize the out gay people who are working hard, raising families, and just generally playing by the rules and expect fair treatment under the law.

6. Fairly similar to the agenda of heterosexuals who don't accept themselves.

Like heterosexual republican men who watch porn, pay for prostitutes, snort coke, trade in heroin (Dennis Hastert anyone?), and visit their dominatrixes yet send someone with a dimebag of marijuana to prison, press charges against women who run their own adult websites to get through college, and beat their kids for listening to Marilyn Manson or Eminem or whoever it is that kids listen to these days.

These people aren't mentally healthy no matter what their inclination. This is not a situation of "bad gays" coming together to harm "good gays" and moral straight people mediating the situation. This is all sexually sick people-- gay and straight-- coming together to harm all sexually healthy people (gay, straight) in order to gain power and social dominance.

This is not a gay issue any more than it is a straight issue.

8. If so many of them are already in power

Why not just be like. We're in power, We're gay, we're going to legislate us some deserved equal rights?

5. I think it goes something like this:

10 or 11 am - get up - mix a drink...
11 am - noon - decide what to wear...
1pm - lunch with the "girls"...
and ends with a nite of disco dancing till early dawn then some wild sex...

or, if you are ill - it's
barlely get out of bed to take more pills, followed by hours of loneliness and self loathing because nobody cares about you, then more pills, etc.

...unless you have kids, a single parent, a closeted homophobic repuke preacher, or are one of the working poor, then there's a completely different agenda to choose from!!!

See?!

7. The "closeted homophobe agenda" plays like the theory that

if you want to find the really great, hard-core porn, go to someone who constantly rails against it ... they've got the really hard-core, nasty stuff.

9. Or, "The cops have the best drugs"

makes some sense.

10. I see that he now claims that he just a meth felon rather than come

out of the closet.

I guess that once he bought his first $100, he was hooked. He just had to keep throwing out more and more!

11. There is no gay agenda.

There is only the right wing agenda that seeks to demonize and criminalize gay people all the while hiding plenty of skeletons. To me, people like Jerry Falwell probably have some of the worst skeletons and probably the most of anybody. I think that's why the Bible mentions something about casting the first stone...Unless you are without sin yourself...

I think there is a difference between gay and pedophile. My Webster's dictionary states as such. Foley ain't gay. He's a pedophile, at least allegedly.
