Over at Slog, they are dissecting a dumb anti-gay argument.
Basically it goes that some members of the LGBT community would not take a pill making them straight, if such a thing existed.
Really, in the eyes of bigots, it’s going to be damned if you do, damned if you don’t, but we’ll ignore that for this moment.
Now yes, I often say that no one would choose this life for themselves. Why would anyone want to be the subject of hatred and bigotry, discrimination in the workplace, housing, pay and marriage rights. Being blamed for all kinds of things from natural disasters to terrorist attacks?
But this is how I am. Who I am. I can’t imagine not being me. Yes, life is hard, much harder than it should be, but I have to look at the positive and take what I can get and make the most out of my life.
And I would bet someone who is straight would say the same thing.
All my best,
The King of Spades
