Haters in the closet

The closet is a strange place I guess. People in there are so in conflict with their own sexuality that their inner battle spills over to the people around them. Often the disgust they feel for themselves is directed at the members of their society who have been brave enough to embrace whatever their sexuality is, without fear or self loathing. For some it's a long journey to this point. For some it's simply another step in life. Some live in accepting communities that appreciate the diverse nature of sexuality. Others live in societies where sections of it are angrily opposed to anything outside the norm. For some, they never come to terms with who they really are, spending their lives projecting their self loathing to others.

But alas, despite all their efforts at denial, they can't change who they really are. Their efforts to contain their desires end up finding expression in strange ways. 

I saw some graffiti in a local pub here recently. People there portray themselves as straight hard working blokes. And yet they come up with this (above the urinal):

What I can't get over are the hands on the guys cheeks, I mean how would anyone who'd not had anal sex know about that? Looks like a bit of a fantasy going on there.

Today I came across this online about Hurricane Isaac in North America. It seems that we gay people have some sort of power to conjure up a devastating storm, simply by being expressive about ourselves. Wow! Cool! Perhaps we can use this power for good or something? 

Defend & Proclaim the Faith's Pastor John McTernan wrote Monday that the hurricane's landfall and the scheduling of Southern Decadence is no coincidence. "Isaac, of course, is a biblical name meaning laughter," he wrote. "The fact the events are seven years apart is very significant as this number is biblically important. It is the number of completion: God created the universe in seven days. The church, city and nation have not repented and the homosexual agenda is far worse than it was in 2005."

Previous to Hurricane Isaac, others have shared the same sentiment. The Reverend Grant Storms, a veteran antigay activist who has railed against Southern Decadence, was recently convicted of indecent exposure for masturbating in public. And the Reverend John Hagee used a similar argument that Hurricane Katrina was provoked by Southern Decadence in 2005. He was forced to retract his remark after endorsing Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Hilarious. I keep hearing about this "gay agenda". OMG fellow darlings! They're onto us! They've discovered our dastardly plot to take over the world, one fuck at a time! We shall have to devise a new strategy....

On the more serious side of it, I got curious about this bloke Rev Grant Storms. He has evidently been very involved in hating the gays in New Orleans, leading protests with megaphones. Here he is in 2003, at the head of one of these marches against us dastardly's. He is in the front with a broom:

Has been actively involved in trying to get the gay pride festival "Southern Decadence" closed down, citing that people were masturbating in public in it (or something like that). 

Well, true to form of someone in denial of their sexuality, he's ended up doing something repulsive last year. Had he been able to express his sexuality more freely, perhaps his desires wouldn't have came out in the warped and sick way? I don't know. But whatever is going on in that guys head, he's obviously in a closet of his own making. 

Last year he was caught jerking off in his van whilst watching kids in the playground next to him. Last month he was convicted of it.

The first woman told deputies she was taking her children to the playground and parked next to the van at about noon. As she was walking around her own vehicle, she noticed the van windows were down and the occupant was "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down...," the report said. The woman noted that he was masturbating and quickly ushered her children out of her car.

She told a second woman, who walked to the van and also spotted the man masturbating, the report said. The second witness told deputies that the driver saw her and tried to conceal the zipper area of his pants with his hand.

The two women flagged down a park employee who notified the Sheriff's Office. The employee detained the man, later identified as Storms, until deputies arrived.

I'm so tired of being hated by these people, and then when they get caught out they offer up some piss weak apology like that's going to make up for their years of concerted hatred and abuse towards us. Why don't they just leave us alone and deal with their inner battles themselves.
