The organization that has placed an advertisement in the Express offering to cure the gays from their affliction have announced a couple other important cures and we look forward to seeing the Express run those ads as well:
Shall I list the new cures?
The Indian affliction, the African affliction, the Syrian affliction?
How about the Jews, the Hindus and the Muslims? Shall I list those afflictions and cures too?
While we're at it, can we cure Catholic priests and Baptist whatever they are?
The Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturer's Association, as well as some other professional organizations that all have afflictions and cures too?
How about the people who will ooh and aah over two dead manicous but won't spit on a homeless hungry person, can that be cured, and if yes, will the Express run the ad?
Will curing white people encourage them to share all the money they got for selling land that they got for free based on the amount of negroes they owned at the time?
Is that an affliction?
Wife beating politicians, if the cure is available, will the Express run it?
How about business men who own media to pervert public policy and frustrate free speech, if there was a cure for that, how would the Express feel about running that ad?
I wrote an article entitled Why Don't We piss EVERYBODY Off and am willing to publish it if the Express agrees to carry it, so that we can all be equal opportunity offenders. I am not gay and I could not begin to understand what makes a person risk the derision and sometimes openly hostile public ridicule that that life choice brings, so I am as careful to judge them as I am to others who seem equally 'different' from me.
The Express Newspaper, once again presented with an opportunity to be for nation building and social guiding instead went the way of profiteering at the people and especially the gay's expense, and we could only hope and pray that one day, if a cure for that level of greed driven selfishness becomes available, they will advertise it too.

Your heart is in the right place. But understand that being gay is not a choice just like you didn't choose to be straight, so the derision you speak of is only volunteered by the bigot not the target.
ReplyDeleteBravo, thanks for this posting!
ReplyDeleteD is so right. I couldn't have said it better.
ReplyDeleteBeing Gay is not a life choice. It's not like choosing a Nissan over a Mitsubishi people, sigh. Being Gay and having to pretend to be straight all your life in order to prevent your mother's heart from breaking is a life choice or having to avoid public derision is a life choice, a very very painful choice.
