so explorey, most of the people in this thread are on my ignore list, but not you, so I don't know what to make of your post
but since you have long been one of my fave posters, after I stopped being all trollie
I shall take your post as a good natured jest and not think anything less of you
now as to the "gay shaming" I want to thank my trolls for that, takes me back, like 20 years or more
I don't regret the choices I've made in that regard, and truth be told, if you did not experiment in your youth, then I pity you*
and any lovers you might have had after that, but for the record, I was
never gay, at least not by the stringent standards of others
my guess is that you are quoting me out of context, cuz really, the fact is that to
super straight/homophobic ppl anything the rest of us do makes us gay, I quote my brilliant engineer of a father who was also though quite racist, sexist and homophobic, he said to me:
once a f***** always a f*******
now I have never believed that, but I get that the "FBEs" of the world are incapable of change and assume the same for the rest of us
how sad for you
I've always adored women too much, having said that, well, I think I've said enough, really all I wanted to do was to acknowledge being "gay bashed" on a Morrissey fan site, thanks for that, again, one can not write this shit
we know where we stand, there is me:
a beacon of truth, one given to self examination & capable of change
& then my detractors, you know what you really are, thank you for making it oh so clear
*=this is not directed @ explorey/Cornie at all, more to detractors who I don't believe have really live their lives
**=racism kept my father from attending my wedding, I married a Vietnamese-American woman, and death kept him from our vow renewal years later, which was a real shame in so many ways, one though was because I count among my close friends an ex or two from back in my "wild youth", their presence would have shocked him, but maybe further expanded his horizons
he could have learned a lot from us, men who were brave, AMERICAN, and other things at the same time, I am saddened that he died, but I am also saddened that he never realized that yes, indeed, a man can be a man and not fit his 1950s archetype, long live the revolution
long live equality for all!!!
