Welcoming people and being willing to answer over the top weird questions.

Right from the start of my leaving the military I vowed to be an out proud gay man.  This was in 1986.   It has lead to a lot of embarrassing conversations.  People have asked me such personal questions on same sex actions and how gay feelings might differ from straight feelings.  At first I found it weird and offensive, but as I got older I realized I brought a lot of straight cis people to be allies simply by being willing to answer sensitive or stupid questions.  I remember one weekend a straight co-worker with two young children showed up at my house.  Thankfully he had left his children at home with a sitter as he had lost his wife.  After talking for a few minutes he got around to discussing gay sex and why I liked it.  I struggled to understand his questions and to explain it to him.  He then surprised me.  He said show me.  I was like what?  He said let’s have sex.   I thought oh shit a straight guy who just wants to fuck a gay guy and put that notch on his sex card.  I was wrong.  He started taking off his clothing and said to me, you say it feels good, it is like me with a woman, so it should be the same.  He wanted to do oral sex and then anal, but wanted me to do anal with him being the bottom first.   I was desperately trying to explain to him that the first time can be bad or painful and it is not just about sex.  It is a need, and emotional feeling.   He was like we are friends, I like you, you like me so it should be OK. 

Let’s just say after that night he was still straight but he understood how two men had sex.   I was surprised when after giving him oral he insisted on doing the same to me.  But later I remembered my years in the military and how many straight young guys begged me to go with them on passes and have sex.  It was never one sided.  I have realized a lot of bigotry can be undone, can be reversed by simply sharing time with those that are the “other”.  Everyone needs someone to hold, to touch, to feel a connection with.   Hugs

Republican Caught With Porn Hides Behind Charlie Kirk

I have read rumors about this guy for a long time.   But I was always hopeful he played for the straight team because of how hateful he is.  He is an all out racist.  But they claim to have checked it out and it is true.  There clearly is some excitement in Ryan’s pants.  

Who are today’s “men of Sodom”?

 

Responding to Charlie Kirk on homosexuality & the Bible

OK I admit this guy is a scholar so he uses words and phrases that are sometimes hard for me to follow with my limited education.  But I do understand enough to follow what he is saying.  Charley Kirk is full of shit on what he thinks they bible says because he is letting his own bigotry and prejudices create what the passages mean for him rather than research it with people more knowledgeable.  Jesus and the bible were not against homosexuality as we understand it because they did not see sexuality and sex acts the same way we do.    The sin of Sodom was lack of hospitality and men wanting to take a higher sexual role than angels.  The people of the time of the bible were like young macho men types today, worried about what looked manly enough, and putting your penis in someone regardless of sex was manly.  But the person who took another person in them was not, they were lessor.  Women were viewed as lessor, inferior, and so were men that took another male’s penis inside them.  It was not about pleasure or love, it was all about status.   One thing I like about this guy is he freely admits the bible is context driven and doesn’t know what we know and understand today, that in some areas the morals we have today are superior to that of the bibles for example slavery.   Hugs.

The Gunfighter | A Short Film by Eric Kissack (narrated by Nick Offerman)

In a small town in the old west, a lone and weary gunfighter enters a saloon. As he walks through the room surrounded by the people of the town, a voice begins narrating the scene, telling us exactly who this gunfighter is. But unlike every classic western to use the narrator trope, the characters in this film can hear the voice. This omniscient narrator quickly begins divulging the deepest, darkest secrets of the people in the saloon. He exposes infidelity, homosexuality, prejudice and even a bit of bestiality. As the story unfolds it becomes evident that the voice is a bloodthirsty bastard that wants nothing more than to see the people of the town kill each other in a needless gunfight.
