Like everyone else, I usually do not think about sexuality a lot, especially not what other people do with other people. What do I care? That being said, I have recently taken an interest in the ghey situation. I wondered why everyone has strong opinions about something that objectively affects less people than are in actual danger of the Feng Shui Flu. It makes no sense, and yet they do. Allow me to list a few examples.
1. Most of the gheys themselves and various assorted identities are upset about being oppressed by the people who in fact largely ignore them.
2. Many religious people are upset at having the ghey pushed on their children in school and media, both of which they subject their children to for no discernible reason.
3. Sane men are upset at their healthy friendships being called 'gay' by people who consume too much media.
4. Some assorted identities folk do not want to be bothered by the spectacle, because they always get singled out, even though they are just people working through issues.
Yours truly falls into the third category, even though I try to not get too upset at the stupid people, mostly because whacking them with a shovel is illegal in this jurisdiction.
So why is everyone up in arms about the ghey thing? To answer this question, I went into the history of this situation. As the reader can imagine, any history books about this are too biased to be of actual use. They're always written by group 1 or 2 people, because the other groups cannot be bothered to write a lot about it. So I went to Google NGram, for an approximation of how much people talk about the ghey situation:
Hoping that this diagram goes up properly, there is a clear trend. Since 'gay' means happy in olde English, its use declines and then goes back up, largely in tandem with 'lesbian', 'homosexual', and 'LGBT', which themselves did not exist before the Antisexual Revolution of the late sixties. Similarly, 'queer' is first popular as a slur, then it goes out of fashion, only to come back as one of the assorted identities.
Here is my theory, inspired largely by my observations, the NGram above and Sacred Scripture: there is a gigantic spell, and it encompasses the whole ghey thing. As far as I can tell, there are three major lies that we are supposed to believe, and I shall refute them below.
The first major lie, in my analysis, is that Jesus Christ of Nazareth somehow approves of acting on ghey temptations. If this lie is ever presented, the Scriptural evidence is that Jesus never explicitly condemns it. Jesus also never explicitly condemns torture or arson, so let's get involved in those while we're at it, shall we? Obviously not. As is explicitly mentioned in the fifth chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfil it. Furthermore, Jesus is really strict on the subject of adultery. In that same Sermon on the Mount, we read that even looking at other women is a form of adultery. There is no doubt that any sexual action with not your spouse is a sin. Additionally, everything about marriage in all of the Scriptures points to the obvious reality that marriage is between a man and a woman*. Hence, anything ghey whatsoever must be a sin.
The second major lie, whose adherents are plenty among the 'conservative' Baby Boomers, is that straight adultery is somehow one iota better than gay adultery. It is not. I understand that it makes them feel better about their numerous youthful indiscretions, but it simply is not. Again, Jesus' own words and every other command in the Bible are generalized for a reason. All of it is adultery. All of it is sin.
The third, and perhaps final big lie is that normal male friendship is somehow ghey. This is pushed in two ways: all manners of 'no homo' jokes and related stereotypes to discourage young men from bonding with other young men, as well as a crude historical revisionism where every famous figure in history who had a male friend must have been taking this friend behind a dumpster on the regular. It is perfectly normal for men to be friends their entire lives. As a matter of fact, a long, stable male friendship goes to suggest that there is nothing ghey going on, since anyone who knows practicioners of the ghey can tell you that these people do not have the stability for long relationships of any kind.
After all these observations, the logical questions is one of motive. Why would one encourage all manners of sexual immorality but discourage male friendship?
The reason for the first is found in statistics: the sexually immoral are considerably less fecund. There are statistics that one could look up, but it is much more expedient to compare the number of kids had by Muslim immigrants to those by ghey fake marriages. Ditto for rich liberals versus Mormons. Sexual immorality is a great avenue for the prince of this World to discourage God the Father's command to be fruitful and multiply. This would also explain why the ghey is bein pushed in institutions of this World, such as government schools. All worldly power structures are influenced by the prince of this World, so they will do some of his pathetic bidding.
An answer to the second is also in the Bible. Brother helped by brother is a fortress, or words to that effect would explain why the prince of this World wants to destroy male fraternity. They that hold to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True must be weakened if el diablo wants to get stuff done.

If this analysis is correct, which I believe it is, there is a simple antidote to all the damage wrought by the ghey spell. Form relationships with other men, build each other up, if you are a man. If you are a man or a woman or any of the assorted identities, find a spouse, get married, and be fruitful. Do not be too concerned with the various intricacies of the ghey spell. Identify its purpose and counteract that, effectively cutting off el diablo's weasely efforts at the root. Much Love!
* Take a peek at all these Biblical laws and commandments about marriage. If one want to argue that one can marry within the same sex, one has to demonstrate that every single one of these can be applied to same sex situations. I will not hold my breath.
I agree. I tell my guy friends I love them all the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bonding thing.
Anyone who thinks that sounds ghey is probably an insecure little soyboy
