As per usual, she nailed it.
Now, unless I'm mistaken, that seems to be the message our own Blogging Tory Diogenes Borealis is sending out as well...
Another Gay Pride weekend has come and gone, and once more I cringe with embarrassment when I see the images of the various pride parades on TV and in print.It must be difficult for any gay person who doesn't aspire to participate in this uber-public celebration of sexual buffoonery... to be tarred yearly with this very sticky brush.
In the National Post today, the only coverage of Toronto's event was a photo of a semi-naked man wearing a studded leather jock strap (and not much else) entertaining a crowd with his package.
That, unfortunately, is how contemporary media shapes our perceptions.
My problem with the gay community isn't a religious thing. I don't believe people choose to be gay.
What I object to is the politicising of the whole thing, the political correctness and the insistence that I must accept whatever propaganda the community chooses to spray around.
I don't wanna hear about any of my neighbours' sex lives.
And I sure don't wanna hear about theirs.
Check out Diogenes... he's worth a read.
