“Batman’s gaunt glumness and unblinking, shell-shocked eyes are pretty much exactly what I think the World’s Greatest Detective would look like if he woke up to find that his legs had been replaced with a barrel of Mountain Dew that he had to wheel around selling to impressionable teens.”
Is that all I can think about is going on vacation in two days.
This is problematic because the next two days at work should be pretty busy, both because of the aforementioned trip and because I have a lot on my plate for the rest of the month. Add to that the fact that I still need to pack and…
Well. Now Cynthia Nixon has gone and pissed me off.
I believe that sexuality is acceptable when it involves consenting adults. I believe that people choose because not is an option. I think the born this way ideology is bad in that it ignores consent, and in some ways, it opposes it.
Man-on-Dog arguments are a function of the born this way meme. And a showcase of how that dialogue can confuse the issue. My gayness is not a problem because I engage in it with consenting adults. Dog Fucking is a problem because dogs cannot consent to sex with a human.
I don’t know that Ms. Nixon and I would agree on everything about this, but I can sympathize with a lot of her anger.
“I totally reject that,” she said heatedly. “I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.” Her face was red and her arms were waving. “As you can tell,” she said, “I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn’t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I’ve been out with.”
