OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE...



Women kissing women. Women loving women. Such a threat to the well being of humanity. What about all the "queen's", "bull-dykes", and "flamers" that are also a part of this society of ours, you ask? Get over it, hon, gays might as well not exist and since they do have the audacity to actually want to live a happy loving life, it is only proper to allow Hets to make things difficult.

Why am I being so sarcastic? I'm so fucking sick of having to replace posters...and deal with the whole subject in general! I mean, I am one of the gayest people I know so it's not that I am sick of sneaking around or anything, because that is the farthest thing from my life. I put up queer oriented posters around my college and write queer articles for my school newspaper and facilitate the college LGB club why? Not because I want to bring attention to myself but because if I don't raise the issue very few others will.



(Note: This page was written while I was a student at Humber College. On this particular day I had been pushed to my limits because another one of the Lesbian/gay/trans club posters that I had put up had been vandalized...on top of this, I had been accosted by a Born Again Christian who berated me in the school hallway with bible quotes and insults, saying that homosexuality was a sin and that I would be going to hell. I had dealt with homophobia many times before, but I really fell apart on this particular day. Of course I filed a complaint with school security and he was eventually kicked out of school. Another victory for "us"...*smile*)



"When I dare to be powerful,
to use my strength in the service of my vision,
then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid"
