Disclaimer
I want to write a disclaimer while the idea is still fresh in my head and I have a little energy left in me. This is NOT a gay pride blog. I have grown up in a heteronormative world all of my life and I have gotten to the point where I don’t need to talk about my identity more than I need to. I have grown to use my sharp wit and tongue concerning these issues as my secret weapons.
I feel like that even though I don’t see myself getting married in the future, I still have to defend it to homophobic assholes that have nothing better to do with their lives that thinking about two men butt fucking to some Bjork song. I spent my years going into classrooms answering questions for the kids about gay life. This means that if you ask me some dumb shit like “why do gay men talk like that” you’re about to get a dumb ass response. I also am over “which one is the boy” there is no boy, that’s the whole fuckin point.
It’s funny how stupid can really be when it comes to these types of things… some ridiculous statements include but are not limited to…
“I used to hate gay people, but now that I have met you…” (you probably still do hate them, but you think of me as safe)
“is it bad that I am ok with lesbians, but hate gay guys” (yes, because the purpose of two women to be together is not to be a manifestation of a sexual fantasy for men. Furthermore, your dislike for gay men has to do with your misogyny and internalized homophobia and the notion that gay men want to be like women)
anything that has to do with the bible or Christianity in general ( the bible also forbids wearing gold, shaving, being in the same room with a woman on her period, shellfish… women wearing jewelry…)
You remind me of Wanda Sykes (why, because I’m gay and black)
I could can go on forever about the fuckery, but this is what I conclude the evening with.
First Friday
On Friday i went with one of my good friends to First Friday finally and was completely underwhelmed. First of all, I have a disdain for suburban non-ethnic people in “the heart of Oakland” thinking that they are doing something worth validating. I really wanted to go to see some art and I was able to for a little while. I saw some nice paintings and walked around. I wish I had gone earlier since it only happens for about 3 hours.
From what I was told, but because they niglets starting going shooting as usual (someone actually died) they decided to crack down on it. It seems as though any time that there is some type of event, it always gets ruined when the niglets show up. Hate to say this, but I didn’t even know that they liked art.
