Jenny Islander BS: Are folkies homophobic? (66* d) RE: BS: Are folkies homophobic? 28 Mar 03


Naw, not homophobic, but I do belong to the Good Taste Police.

I don't think one's sexual orientation, homo-, hetero-, or bi-, obliges me to excuse aggressive rudeness (your parents ain't here; go yell at them, not me), bad performance art (only Tammy Faye should look like Tammy Faye and I don't care about the minutiae of your sexual awakening because you have nothing profound, or even funny, to say about it), serial monogamy with younger trophy partners (which leaves me thinking, "You're middle-aged--deal with it!") or sleeping around (herpes, broken hearts, AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis--did these idiots sleep through health class?).

I should mention that I'm Christian. So is homosexuality a sin? Yeah. It's well below gluttony on the list; at least sins of sexuality usually involve two people having fun with each other and paying attention to each other instead of solitary obsession and greed. Why homosexuality is the sin so many preachers go coocoo over, when gluttony is one of the biggest spiritual problems in America, could be the subject of a whole 'nother site. Anyway, when I am no longer troubled by gluttony or any other deep primal need gone outside the bounds (which is the etymology of "sin"), I will have the right to lecture somebody else on their variety of consenting naked rumba partner.
