One
of the great things about being part of AOL is that a huge cross-section of
America is invited to visit my big gay blog every day.
The
only problem with it is that a huge cross-section of America is invited to visit
my big gay blog every day.
My straight pal Jeff made a
comment to me a couple of weeks ago about all the hate-comments people leave on
Worth Repeating and send me via e-mail. He wanted to know if it bothered me. He
said if most of the people who send hate comments were on the receiving end,
they couldn't endure in a lifetime the volume of hate I get hit with every
day.
That's a little dramatic (I'm probably rubbing off on
him), but I wonder if he's right. I do have to process a lot of negativity, some
of it's personal, most of it's aimed at all gays. How would the people sending
all that hate handle it if the tables were
turned?
Fortunately, I don't internalize their hate. At all.
Maybe I've just gotten immune to it. Although I know that these people vote --
and that's scary -- most of it actually makes me laugh out loud. Zealotry just
sounds funny. And, somewhere in the Bible there must be a commandment that says
anti-gays shall not learn to write or spell properly (see below). Talk about a
laugh riot.
Query: Do most gays have to build up a resistance
to being despised? Just curious.
I will admit to being
envious of the more loving comments some of my fellow bloggers get. Blogosphere
darling Joe.My.God., whom I adore, has a dedicated following
of admirers who leave warm and clever comments on his blog every day. Rarely if
ever have I seen hateful comments there. (Bitchy, yes.) I do find
myself wishing for a hate-free blog zone sometimes, if only to feel as loved as
Joe does. That sounds needy, doesn't it? Let me spin that to say, hmmm, Worth
Repeating is, what, character building? Yes! Character
building.
There was an increase in visitors to my blog this
week because of National Coming Out Day. The post on Wednesday, 'Talk About It,' really brought some anti-gay
humdingers out of the woodwork. Fortunately, it brought out some defenders, too,
including a lot of straight ones. Anyway, I thought I'd share some favorite
comments and e-mail from the week. The titles are mine.

"What is wrong with being happy? It is so easy to rearrange biblical word to fit your own interpretation. The undisputed fact is that you should love your neighbor. The bible does not say anywhere to love your neighbor unless... . So for every bible quoter that is so religious but yet so hateful god is watching. So before you are so quick to judgeknow that GOD is Judging you."

"By being gay you are natures ultimate freak. Put the religious standpoint to the side for a minute. Nature put animals and humans on earth for one reaon-to reproduce. This is done, obviously by being with the opposite sex. Men and woman bodies are exactly the same in all other aspects except their genitals. A penis fits inside a vagina like a key in a lock-and it's no accident. To be gay is to defy all of this beause you are attracted to the same sex. In natures point of view you are a pointless human being, a gliche in the system. As long as your gay you wont be able to reproduce life. Honestly, you may argue the religion angle and what the bible says, whether its a choice or not, but there is no doubt that being gay does defeat the scientific and natural reasons humans exist."

You should look past what they are and see the beautiful person they are.

It's a sickness that God never intended to occur. It's a choice that these freaks make and there is no way anybody will ever convince me that they are born that way. Why would God allow someone to be born that confused and mixed up, as to think they are the opposite sex or in love with a member of the same sex. God after all did create Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. It's an abomination and that is exactly why God destroyed Sodom and Gommora. Do any of these freaks realize what the name Sodom implies. Sodomy and if sodomy was a sin 3,000 years ago then how do they think that fact has changed and made it alright now. These frreaks are sick and they all need some serious evaluation and serious time on a couch with their shrink not a member of the same sex. They are sick and have a sickness that God will never cure.

What's ironic is that Kenny is one of the most kind and caring individuals I've ever had the good fortune of knowing, yet he's forced to endure hate mail, of all things. People are strange.
Aw. Come sit by me, Daddy Kenneth. I'll make it aw-wite. ;)
LOL. Thanks for putting their screennames.
I'm sorry you're not getting the warm & fuzzy emails you deserve. That's just sad! I enjoy your columns and blogs, so please count me as a fan. Maybe you get lots of hate email because you're on AOL, which (let's be honest) is kind of a jumping off point on the Internet for a lot of Neanderthals - and I don't mean to disparage any of our ancient brethren, but I'm using the second definition of the term: "primitive, unenlightened, or reactionary; culturally or intellectually backward." And, though it might not appear so, I really don't mean for this to be a back-handed slap at your employer. Realistically AOL, because it offers very user-friendly simplicity to those that are technology-challenged, must have a lot of simple (and simple-minded) subscribers. Joe.My.God., who I also read religiously, is not so easy to find unless you're used to navigating the blogs, the search engines and using other net tools to find him. Therefore, its easy for the "primitive, unenlightened, reactionary, culturally or intellectually backward" to find you, while Joe.My.God. gets a more technologically sophisticated and culturally aware net user at his blog. (BTW, I'm not an AOL user, but I found your blog on a search engine.) Just keep on blogging!
Okay, it's time to stop just reading and to start commenting. I really love reading Worth Repeating and Straighten Out (Jeff is really funny, too), and I have even tried to suggest that I admire more than Kenneth's prose style. (Oh well...I hear he's married.) I don't take homophobia so personally any more, but it affects me. I don't take bad weather personally but when I'm subjected to it for days and days on end, I find myself...well....under the weather. I've lived my life in circles where I don't usually come into contact with really overt bigotry. Recently, though I've been a regular participant on AOL message boards under topics devoted to homosexuality and religion because I have a background in Biblical languages. I have been accused of "twisting" scriptures by looking into the original language texts. Apparently, since English was good enough for Jesus, it really ought to be good enough for me. But when I've read enough invective I can turn off my computer. I guess there are disadvantages to being employed as a "professional homosexual." The advanced amateurs among us can just put bigots on "ignore." Keep up the good work Kenneth. We love and admire you!
omg, i was laughing so hard when i read the one from "albananna"!! thanks for amusing me, ken.
Kenn,
Pay no attention to those comments, the are likely jealous because you are educated, handsome and have a loving relationship. Those hateful commenters obviously don't have much of an education (which makes their opinion insignificant), and very likely they don't get much love, nor do they have any to give. The handsome bit is just a come-on ;)
R
Hmmm. So not having a well-rounded education makes one's opinion insignifigant? That's an interesting concept, that if someone does not have the level of education that YOU deem acceptable, their opinion is NOT valid. Wow, that would leave out a lot of American Presidents, many of whom did not finish high school. It would leave out many of the World War 2 vets that only finished the fifth grade before going into the work force.
While I do find some of the posts on these blogs hateful and disrespectful, I have also read many posts by "gays" that were just as foul and hateful. In reality, people are people and they have an uncanny, malady of being able to "murder" with their words. I happen to be opposed to gay marriage and find the lifestyle unacceptable, but that doesn't mean I hate gays. In fact, I've had a few gay/bi/lesbian friends that really cared about me and vice versa. I also oppose living together before marriage, but does that make me a "living together before marriage biogt?" Seriously, does that make me hateful because I disagree with the way one is living their life?
In reality, gays already have the right to get married, but it's the definition of marriage that they want to change. Everyone over the age of eighteen and some under with a parent's consent, has the right to marry.... someone of the opposite gender. Well, I've blogged long enough, but I'm still asking, grappling with the whole "what makes one hateful" issue.
I have a question to gays, am I allowed to "tolerate" homosexuality in the truest sense of the word, yet have a belief that homosexuality is not "normal" or acceptable, as in should not be appreciated or celebrated, without being labled hateful? Or must I embrace homosexuality, celebrate it, appreciate it, view it as just another type of family, to avoid being labeled a "bigot", "homophobe", "hatemonger" ?
Do you believe t
Response to kidzpastor35: The sources of bias are frequently misunderstanding and lack of information. Most well educated people do not try to justify owning slaves, discriminating against women or engaging in racism even though there were people in the past that have tried to justify such behaviors with a variety of false social and religious rationales. It is disingenuous to claim that all people have the same right to marriage when the issue depends entirely on how you frame the question. Do all people have the same right to marry a person of the opposite sex? Yes. Do all people have the right to marry the person of the their choice? No. Before "Loving vs. Virginia" (1967) did all people have the same right to marry someone of their same race? Yes. Did they have the right to marry the person of their choice? No. The Supreme Court of the United States determined that this was not really equality under the law. If state and federal constitutions must be amended to discriminate against gays, then it is the people who wish to change the principals of equality under the law enshrined in these documents that are engaged in a more fundamental redefinition of law.
When you allege that homosexuality is not "normal" what does that mean? It has occurred regularly in nature throughout history including numerous species of animals that do not make active decisions about the morality of their behavior. If you mean that it is a minority characteristic, so is being left-handed and red headed. Tolerating people means to allow others to "live" as they see fit provided that there is no compelling legal reason to deny them their freedom.
grelef: By not "normal" I mean not just another acceptable way of life or family. While referring to "everyone's" right to marry, you just confirmed what I initially wrote. The definition of marriage MUST be changed. The issue of race verses sexual orientation is an interesting one. Many view it as comparing apples to oranges.... As far as gays being a minority group... I don't see it. They are from all walks of life, statistically speaking they make more money then the average population, are more educated, etc. I don't see them as being a downtrodden, abused minority group. Any group of people can start claiming that they are a minority group that want something politically and call it Civil rights, Christians, Muslims, Jews, gays, white men, white women, black men, black women, virtually any population of people. What homosexuals want is a change in the definition of what constitutes a marriage, not a man and a women, but any two people, and there is also a campaign already organizing to make it legal for pologymists. Some say that won't happen, but there is already a grass roots organization poised.
Back to my original question, are the American people as an "unspoken" rule being forced to accept (as in celebrate, appreciate it, etc.) or be called a bigot, homophobe, etc.?
If would disagree and think it was immoral if my eighteen year old daughter lived with a man before marriage, does that make me a bigot because I made a judgement call? If I believe that homosexuality is not "just another acceptable way of life", is as immoral as what I would think my daughter living with a man or a heterosexual couple having an affair, but yet treat my daughter, a gay man, a lesbian, a woman having an affair in her marriage, with respect and dignity, do I risk getting labeled a bigot, a hatemonger, a homophobe?
To kidzpastor35: Professional anthropologists do not agree with you that "marriage" has historically been heterosexual by definition
http://www.aaanet.org/press/ma_stmt_marriage.htm.
But what if it were? How would that affect your own marriage? Not at all. You would still have the freedom to live the way you see fit...and so would others. You might have some control over whether or not your daughter lives with someone out of wedlock, but should your values be codified into law so that the children of all parents should be barred from living with a partner out of wedlock? Race and sexual orientation ARE "apples and orange." The common element in racism and homophobia is discriminatory behavior--which is "apples and apples." We do not say that discrimination is okay in the case of homosexuals because it has not been as extreme or pervasive as it has been in the case of racism. If we think discrimination is wrong it is not a relative issue. It is wrong in any context in which it occurs. You engage in the "slippery slope" logical fallacy in saying that same-sex marriage will lead to any and every type of marriage. It won't. Each case will have to be decided by the courts on its own merits (or lack thereof), and the merits will be different for every type of pairing. You don't have to accept homosexuality, but in a free society that means you don't have to engage in it yourself. When you want to regulate the private behavior of other people to conform to your values without a compelling legal reason to do so then you are forgoing the principal that all citizens are equal under the law. You are also assuming that the private affairs of others should be subject to your personal review. I doubt that you would want to see the tables turned so that others could legislate your private life --to...say...dictate your choice of religion.
First of all, I did not say that historically marriage was ALWAYS heterosexual... there have many models of marriage, but by and large the model of marriage has been heterosexual.
You are mistaken my friend if you think gay marriage is not a slippery slope. There are grassroots organizations of polygymists right now poised and "ready to go."
An interesting statistic in a country that had legalized same sex unions.. was that after the battle was won a suprisingly small number of couple chose to marry.
I agree that there is discrimination against gays, there is discrimination against Jews, straight people, etc..... human beings are discriminating beings.
That said... I disagree that the Civil rights of gays are being violated... but my question was can you disagree with homosexuality (regardless of how you feel about gay marraige) but not be considered a bigot, homophobe, etc.?
To kidzpastor35: I guess I didn't understand what you meant when you said that SSM violated the very definitiion of marriage.
Even if only a few people exercise their right to marry, it should nonetheless be an option.
We do not legitimnize discrimination against one group because there is discrimination against another.
The Slippery Slope IS fallacious logic. The Slippery Slope is essentially a non sequitur in which someone states that some event will inevitably follow from another without showing any causal connection between the two. By your reasoning, heterosexual marriage could just as easily lead to the legalization of polygamous marriage since statistically most polygamists are men wanting multiple wives.
You can resolve that homosexuality it is not right for you without being a bigot or homophobe. However, it would not be your place to dictate other people's values and activities based on irrational criteria and/or logical fallacies.
my youngest sister and her very-long-time "wife" unbeknowingly took the best route to this situation as anyone could. they were wed, on our family field, by a lesbian minister surrounded by both her close gay community and also our family members, many of whom had never accepted her very busy, very militant and outspoken world opinion on sexual preference and the taboos and mistreatment, especially in the workplace, that go along w/kristen's "lifestyle." many wedding attendees were still reeling that they had actully witnessed something so incredulous as Kristen & Tammie high-tailed it down a new england weekend in a cape cod suite. 16 years later, you cannot tell either of them that they are "not" really married.
My god, some of them are so funny...Please guys , keep going on with your hate, at least you make laugh the gay guy that I am!!
Bye everyone
Hi,
The slippery slope argument CAN be fallacious logic, but it is NOT always fallacious logic, when a cause can be found. Sometimes the slippery slope argument IS true.
The causal relationship is our judicial system and the "silly" rulings that they have made during the past decade. Indeed, it is NOT at all fallacious that pologymists may use the judicial system to make their point, especially if gay marriage is legalized. In fact, I JUST read an article and an supporter of homosexuality suggests that we NOT dismiss the slippery slope argument so easily.
The marriage issue aside, according to you, not saying that you are representing all gays, if one believe that homosexuality IS wrong for everyone, not just not right for me than one is a bigot. I make many discriminating judgement calls each day, so do you, I guess we are all in some ways a bigot. LOL
To kidspastor35: "Silly" rulings establish no more of a causal relationship between homosexual marriage and bigamy than it does between woman's suffrage and ballot stuffing. There must be a causal relationship between the two activities. Polygamy is less closely related to the issue of homosexual unions than it is to heterosexual unions. If the supporters of bigamy wish to make a case for such unions they would have to do it on the merits of multiple marriage partners which has nothing to do with the genders of the persons wishing to unite in a bigamous civil marriage. I would need to read your article to know if the "supporter of homosexuality" had made a legitimate point.
You are perfectly within your right to make discriminating judgments for your own life as much as you like. You are correct, I do too. What I actually said was that no one has the right to restrict someone else's freedom without a compelling legal reason to do so. Irrational criteria such as prejudice, fear and false logic are not compelling legal reasons. These are the foundations of bigotry.
To kidspastor35: "Silly" rulings establish no more of a causal relationship between homosexual marriage and bigamy than it does between woman's suffrage and ballot stuffing.
OOOPS. That should read "a causal relationship between homosexual marriage and polygamy...."
I tried to find that article for you, but I couldn't do it.
There are many people that, legal scholars, that disagree that NOT legalizing same-sex marriage is discrimination.
Although personally, I do not support same-sex marriages for the slippery slope argument (I do not believe it to be a fallacy, and there are many others who believe it to be true), but I may support civil unions. (ONLY between two people, as the Netherlands give civil unions between multiple persons)
I do think it is sad when a person is dying and their partner is not permitted to see them because of angry family members.
Although I think this could be prevented by using some planning and signing release forms for your partner.
As far as inheritance and obtaining property from each other, it's called a will. I also think that "making" companies provide insurance for partners etc... would put a big strain on especially small business, IF the statistic that gays quote that one in ten persons are homosexual is accurate. That COULD be quite a burden on the economic system. (notice I said could) Regardless, there are legal and economic ramifications from adopting gay marriage....and I think it is unfair to label everyone who is opposed to that a bigot or homophobe.
Hi kidzpastor35--This probably isn't the place to debate your various points. In so far as this discussion relates to the topic suggested by Kenneth's blog entry, I think you have helped me demonstrate that two people can have diametrically opposed points of view and still be considerate. Thanks for the exchange. I wish you success in all of your endeavors (except, perhaps, in your vote concerning same-sex marriage, lol).
grelef,
Yes, you are right, it isn't the place to debate. Although, I find it very satisfying to have this discourse with you. :) It does prove that we can disagree but be considerate. I don't even know why there are persons on both sides that CAN not or WILL not be respectful. It doesn't make sense to me.
I also wish you the best in all your endeavors.
Have a great weekend.
:) Nancy
Reading some of those comments really makes me scared for Society.
A lot of these people think seeing a gay couple showing affection is going to warp their kids.
Well...I'm sure that being exposed to murder, violence, materialism, and ignorance of the rest of the world has nothing on seeing two people in love kiss.
I find it hilarous when people care so much about your sexuality and your life. Who cares. I'm bi and people think I am the biggest whore around. I'm not, I'm just a regular gal who just more open to things. So people who hate, dont hate just b/c you are probably not getting any. I dont care who you are with so why should you care about other people. As long as people find love, thats what I think. My own opinion can't change the whole world (wishful thinking though) My friend always says "IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT LOOK" That simple. Theres no need for more unnecesssary drama. Quit being dramatic about the Gay/bi/straight issue and being so quick to judge the person. For all the bible quoters, chill with the quotes, dont you have your own opinion. Its so easy to hide behind a bible. God's utilmate command is LOVE.
Peace!
To those so-called God like people out there ,I can only laugh out loud as well and say this-GOD CREATED US ALL!!!!!!!! Don't these uneducated people have anything better to do with their time?

Low and behold, not until two years ago, I learned my thyroid does not work the way it should! As I've always said(and will say again),it's not these things that matter but the love we have in our hearts. Lastly I'll say this-WHO CARES ABOUT THE IGNORANCE OF SOME OTHERS-JUST BE WHO YOU ARE-PEOPLE WHO MAKE DEROGATORY COMMENTS ARE USUALLY JUST INSECURE ABOUT SOMETHING ABOUT THEMSELVES ANYWAY! It has more to do with them than anyone else!!! God Bless All and learn to love!!!! Christina Madera Christimade6@aol.com

In resonse to some of your ignorant readers, there are three things I'd like to say:
1) buy a dictionary and study it
2) study your bible more
3) GOD LOVES AND CREATED US ALL!!!!
I also feel that this is not a personal choice but who you are. I've been overweight my whole life and despite my best efforts to lose weight, after 41 years, I remain
overweight! How do you explain to these uneducated, hippo-christi out there that some things are not a personal choice? To the editor I can only say that as hard as it is sometimes to ignore the thoughtless and ignorant comments of some others, it truly is a waste of time to do so! God is love and wherever there is love, GOD MUST BE PRESENT!! STAY WELL AND BE WHO YOU ARE!!

i love all these people who actually take the time to fill out hate mail....theyre awesome...why is being gay still such an issue...who cares! people are gay..and people have been gay since the dawn of time....back in the roman-esc days men would screw other men as a sign of power....there was no such thing as this gay/straight bullshit.....live and let live...its NEVER going to stop.....were never gunna hide or go away! its going to get worse and worse....muahahahaha
midwestern hicks beware....soon we will have your children on our side....lol
Kenny, There are so many people who LOVE you. That love will always wash away all the hate that comes from unenlightened people, no matter how horrible it is. You keep doing what you're doing honey.
Hi Kenny...
I got to read this from a friend's blog clip. It was quite interesting. And yeah, I guess a lot of people who are criticising here will not be able to handle the hate if the table was turned.
But this entry really made me laugh. I think your humour is really admirable. :)
People love their dogs too, but they shouldn't have sex with them either. Homosexuality is a mental illness. Anyone who thinks a sexual relationship between two people of the same sex is somehow beautiful, is also mentally ill. When two people of the same sex can procreate, then i'll get on the band wagon of moral perversion, but not until.
Kenny, enjoyed the blog and consider you just plain ole human!! And part of that is the G-d given piece of us, that seed of creativity, changing the negativity into humor. What is sad is that it even has to be exercised (or is that exOrcised?) for that gruel oozing from the keyboards of the outspoken illiterate populace. Hurray for freedom of speech I say, it is, for some, the looking glass of the small and closed minded, and in reality a mirror to themselves of self loathing and insecurities. Yes, they truly are adorable in the eyes of the Maker. I love them so much I could just squeeze them until their eyeballs pop out. If for nothing else, it would IMPROVE their vision as they looked into the mirror of their old dingy, poorly decorated bathrooms.
I just have an overwhelming urge to proclaim my pride in being 'mentally ill' for being gay.
I must say I really enjoyed reading your blog. I am 100% for gays because my mom is a lesbian and plans on getting married to her girlfriend in a little under a year. I have always been taught that love is love no matter who it is between and I wish that some people would stop being so ignorant and narrowminded!!! Awesome blog! <3
I HAVE NOTHIN AGAINST GAYS.GOD CREATED THEM AND HE KNEW THEY'D B GAY.BUT IT IS AN ABOMINATION,SAYS SO IN THA BIBLE.THESE DAYZ THERE TRYIN TO SAY EVERYTHINGS ALRIGHT.AND DON'T GIMME THAT"I WAS BORN THIS WAY".BECAUSE AT ONE TIME I WAZ BI-SEXUAL,AND I PRAYED AND WORKED THROUGH IT.IT WOULD MAKE ME SICK SOMETIMES THA THOUGHT'S I WAZ HAVIN.BUT NOW IM COMPELETY STRAIGHT,I AM HONESLTY NOT EVEN ATTRACTED 2 MY SAME SEX ANYNORE,I LOOK AT THEM AND CAN'T BELEIVE I WAS TURNED ON BY THAT.I AM NOT OBESSED WIT CHURCH OR NOTHIN LIKE THAT,NOT EVEN OVERLY RELIGOUS.I AM A NORMAL PERSON AND I WORKED THROUGH MY BI-SEXUAL TIME(LASTED FOR ALMOST A YEAR).LIKE I SAID I AM A NORMAL PERSON AND I GOT THROUGH IT,Y CAN'T THA REST OF US?PEOPLE DON'T EVEN TAKE THA TIME TO TRY TO WORK THROUGH IT ANYMORE,SOME DO,BUT FEW ACTUALLY BREAK AWAY FROM THEIR SERCRET DESIRES.I LOOK DOWN ON NO ONE BECAUSE WE'RE ALL HUMAN.BUT IT'S NOT RIGHT.(PLUS I HAVE A GAY FRIEND)
vcarr9: First off you need grammar lessons. Secondly, you shouldn't type in all caps it makes you look dumb. Thirdly, I doubt you were even bi in the first place, it was most likely hormones. But even if you truly were bi then you still are now and you have allowed yourself to be brainwashed with "christian" beliefs that cause you to deny who you really are.
I don't really know why people are gay. I don't really think anyone else does either. Is it nature? Is it nurture? Reaction to a traumatic event at a crucial turning point in development? Experimental choice? Who really knows?
What other people do in private doesn't bother me. It's really none of my business.
What really DOES bother me is this...hating other people is wrong. It's wrong for "Christian" people to point accusing fingers at the behavior of other people when their own lives are far from perfect . There's a big difference between explaining what scripture says about sodomy, and condemning other people to hell for eternity.
Christians are only to judge the lives of other Christians and the criteria are very clear: "By their fruit ye shall know them...love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, long-suffering, faithfulness, kindness, and self control..." Making hateful comments about others is not showing how Christian you are. It's really showing how Christian you AREN'T.
ATTENTION babyxkracker---
You had a great comeback for whatever right wing fascist made that "mentally ill"
comment. Oh and by the way when your spelling the word I'll, you use a capital I-not a small one! Perhaps that individual is,oh I don't know-MENTALLY ILL!!
HAH!HAH!

I believe love is never wrong.We are all souls,not just bodies.It doesn;t matter ,love is never wrong.I am against bigotry,racism,etc..We are all a "brotherhood"in spirit,so to speak and need to have love,compassion,tolerance,etc..for all people.What really matters is not what religion you practice,church you go to,or dont go to,your race,sexual orientation,etc..BUT what matters is How you treat others here.Your actions.How "Godly"you are.In the end,only KINDNESS matters.
