is the presence of homosexuality really that emasculating?

back to another of my recurring themes...hating the gays...

i was on my way to work this morning and was listening to imus in the morning (i got tired of the one cd in my car). they were discussing the golden globes from last night and focused in on brokeback mountain (a movie i still deperately need to see, except that i don't feel like spending a day's pay on 2 to 3 hours of movie when it'll be a buck in a month). one of the usual characters (i can't remember which one) went on a monologue about the movie, which he referred to as "fudgepack mountain"...oh so clever...the funny part was how it started off...

"i have nothing against it, i have nothing against homosexuality, but..." ah yes, the classic "i'm a bigot and about to say something incredibly ignorant and i just wanted to give you a head's up it was coming" line. anyways, he followed it up with informing the listeners that while he had no problem with homosexuality, he refused to spend a few hours of his time watching a movie that involved two men tongue kissing...you know, just as some may choose not to see war movies, he chooses not to see movies involving homosexuality...not that there is anything wrong with that.

is it seriously that emasculating to a man to even witness an act of homosexuality? i will never understand how someone else's sexual escapades are a problem for you...does it make me a deviant because i saw 8 mm? i just don't get it...if you aren't gay it really won't make your genetalia turn inside out and breasts sprout from your chest if you witness a gay act...even if it is the gayest since gay came to gay town...and it doesn't make you tough or more of a man to refuse to witness such an act.

i think it's time women start demanding more male on male incidents in hollywood...just to counterbalance the ridiculous drooling jackasses that are always hooting at any hint of lesbian action...

but maybe this guy was right...afterall, the good Rev. Fred Phelps has taken it upon himself and his congregation to inform the world that american soldiers are dying because men are sharing their teams from the inseam with each other. not a big deal normally, but this asshole has decided his forum will be pickets...at funerals...for young men and women returning home from combat in caskets. guess the time honored american tradition of picketing homosexual funerals just wasn't getting his point across. freedom of speech and assembly... sometimes it is so beautiful it brings a tear to your eye.

apparently jonathon rhys meyers won a golden globe for his portrayal of elvis...i was not in the least bit emasculated by the excitement i felt in hearing the news.

i may be sick, but you're the disease...
