Gay Sushi
Jan 12th
You’d think as much as I talk about dick I wouldn’t get asked the question. No, I’m not gay. I like dick. I like men. I like men with dicks. I even like some men who act like dicks because sometimes they’re really funny. I haven’t seen a real dick in quite some time but I Still. Want. Dick.
Oh right… the title. I hate sushi. I don’t want to try sushi. Even the thought of trying this one or that type is repugnant and makes me gag. In my mind, sushi is nasty. Yuck.
Exactly how I feel about having any sort of sexual intimacy with another woman. I’ve tried sushi once and I’ve tried another woman once and let me tell you both were gross to me.
But here’s the thing. Millions of people like sushi. Some of my friends love sushi. I’ve even hung around sushi places and I didn’t have to eat it. It doesn’t bother me a bit that other people eat sushi and it doesn’t change my beef-eating life in the slightest. Sushi had no effect on my marriage or my divorce.
Do I think sushi should be outlawed or sushi lovers shunned? That’s stupid. As long as I don’t have to eat it, why should I impose my sushi-hater feelings onto others?
Again, exactly how I feel about teh gayz. I don’t have to join in in what they do, I don’t have to click that link in my porn selections, and I don’t have to deny others what they want. If my girlfriend R likes women, far be it for me to deny her feelings. If C and T want to go home with other men, go for it. I think gay men are a perfectly good waste of dick but really, there’s a lot of wasted dick out there. At least somebody is getting satisfied. Go guys.
You either like sushi or you don’t. You either feel attraction to the same sex or you don’t. You can’t wish it different.
So you think gays and lesbians shouldn’t be able to marry or have/adopt children. Why? How exactly would either of those things change your life in any way? Really, I’d like to know. So you, like me, might find the idea of same-sex action repugnant. I can say it and still believe that those who DO like same-sex have just as much right to a life as sushi lovers. Why shouldn’t sushi lovers be able to marry? Why shouldn’t they be able to adopt a child nobody else wants and provide it with a sushi-loving home. I’d even bet gay parents wouldn’t force their kids to eat sushi if they didn’t want it.
If you tell me it’s because God didn’t like the gays I say bullshit. God didn’t say anything about gays, some bigot who made up the bible said it. Hey, as long as you’re writing a book to control the masses, let’s put your personal bigotries in there. As far as I know your God hasn’t actually said anything about anything. The bible is full of second-hand stores written hundreds of years later by some guy who may have talked to the barber of the second cousin of the neighbor who was there at the time. And then more men translated it over time. Like a good folk tale where the basic story remains but the details change for different audiences… but enough of that tangent.
Ask yourself this: (READ IT ALOUD) If my brother/sister comes out and wants to marry the love of their life – and it happens to be the same sex as they are – how exactly does that impact my life? Does it make me gay? Do they want me to watch or join in as they do gay things? Can I live the rest of my life without any difference based on their gayness? Does my relationship with them change at all based on what they do in their bedroom?
I’m betting you already know the answer.
So ask yourself this: (READ IT ALOUD) Am I a decent human being if I deny another decent human being the same rights that I have?
Let those who love sushi eat sushi and you can still eat all the steak you want. I do.
Think for yourself.

Hopefully I can make myself clear without offending the people I like and still piss off those uptight people who might come across this.
Specifically those people who hate and/or can’t tolerate gay and lesbian people. Or bisexuals for that matter. What the hell does it matter what adults do in their own homes?
Personally the whole idea of girls doing girls makes me nauseous. Don’t like that kind of porn, and after having been in a F/F/M threesome in my youth, experience tells me I’ll never get over it. Eww yuck and NO. Now men with men porn I find slightly interesting. Maybe cuz I like dick too. Whatever.
But you know what? It doesn’t matter how I feel. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FIND LOVE WHEREVER THEY CAN. You have no control over who gets your blood pumping. Neither do they so why punish them?
Imagine the person who you’ve loved and lived with for the last 10 years is in an accident and you’re told you have no right to see them or make any decisions for their care. And to add insult to injury, they aren’t covered on your health care plan. Then they die and you’re entitled to nothing.
How is that right and humane?
Imagine you’re a teenager and you have the hots for little Suzy cheerleader. And you’re Sarah. Or you’ve in love with the captain of the football team and you happen to be on the team too. Your parents, your church, your peers vilify gays and lesbians every day. Why?
Do you really feel the need to encourage kids to kill themselves? Does it make your day when some poor teenager offs himself just because he loves the wrong people? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I have a couple of lesbian friends and I like them just as much as all my other friends. I just don’t think about them (ewww yuck) having sex. I don’t think about a couple of my obese friends having (ewww yuck) sex either. In fact, I don’t imagine any of my friends having sex. Unless of course it’s that one guy or that other guy and it’s with me. What people do when they’re not with me is NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
There’s an old saying: to each his own. Here’s another saying: accept the things you cannot change. Try this one: Don’t propagate hate. As a matter of fact…

The Gay Agenda
Jul 31st
I’ve been reading a lot about this whole Gay Rights Fight or as some people put it The Gay Agenda. I’m 42 years old and have lived in 4 states, spent 4 years in the military and raised 3 kids and I’ve never noticed a Gay conspiracy. I’ve met very few actual homosexual people in my life; I’m not totally sheltered. Hubby’s cousin is lesbian, and we’ve had plenty of lesbian neighbors, and I’ve worked with a couple of extremely effeminate men. But I can honestly say I don’t think I have any in my inner circle of friends. But that’s not because I chose it that way. It just so happens. I just mean I don’t really know any to learn more about them. It’s also true that I don’t have any black friends, or Chinese friends, or Martian friends either. Actually, I don’t have that many real people in my inner circle at all, but that’s another story.
One of those Arizona Representatives/State Senators/Politicians wrote a scathing editorial recently about how Gay people have an agenda and are undermining the social structure of the state. In your face effrontery. Further, that they have totally taken over the meaning of a word that used to mean happy because homosexual is such a nasty sounding word. Blah Blah very hateful and bigoted comments taking up half a page. This (I think) was in response to the Governor (who looks like your stereotypical lesbian – but I dunno if she is and I don’t care) sent a memo, or made a unilateral decision or whatever that state agencies are no longer allowed to discriminate against hiring homosexuals. Which also pissed off some old guy in Gilbert – “Now them people will have free access to foster kids and molest them and everything.” What a jerk. Now, Gov. Janet has been making quite a few unilateral decisions since she took office. Renaming an entire mountain from Squaw Peak to Piestawa Peak in honor of that soldier killed, without waiting the requisite 5 years. The Mayor of Tempe (next town over) is gay and that editorial slammed him, too. So anyhow, this stuff combined with that court decision about abnormal sex not being illegal anymore has made this subject front page conversational news.
Quick question: Why was there such a bru-ha-ha about Ellen coming out on TV as a lesbian when there’s been gay MEN on TV for years? I didn’t get that. What? Men fantasize about two women together but only if a man eventually joins them? Seems hypocritical to me.
Drive by your local high school at quitting time and you’ll see hetero couples practically having sex right there on the front lawn. Walk around any mall, same thing. Hetero people are everywhere doing things that really don’t need to be done in public. In my opinion, a quick kiss and hand holding is fine, but some of these people are practically inside each other in plain view! Foreplay has hit the streets. Ewwww – gross. But other than on TV – I have never seen two men or two women doing more than holding hands. Thank you for your decorum.
I’ve fought bigotry (albeit in small ways) my whole life. Raised in Michigan – home of the displaced redneck. All my life when people make comments about this different person or that different person I’ve spoken up. I don’t let crap like that pass. Especially in front of or from my kids. Difficult as hubby is pretty bigoted himself, and I don’t know if 25 years of me harassing him about it has changed his mind or just shut his mouth. And although I don’t know much about any non-white non-hetero lifestyle, I’ve always tried to be open-minded and tolerant.
Which brings me to my last thought. I joined an online chat group/message board thingy a couple of years ago and have met quite a few interesting and different people there. There’s a specific person who has opened a window to his world so old fat married white women like me can learn a little bit. He’s extremely bright and very funny, a formidable enemy in any battle of wits (I don’t even try) and IS the person I think of now whenever I see/hear any homophobic comments. Someday I hope to meet him in real life.
So maybe I do have a gay person in my inner circle of friends after all.
Good New: I finally moved my computer into the guest bedroom and out of the front hall. A lot more space and best of all – AIR CONDITIONING! Of course, it’s a guest bedroom now because #1 son finally found somewhere else to live – and hopefully next time he asks to come home I’ll be able to say NO!
