Why should anybody be “proud” of their sexual preferences? From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
It’s a very strange thing to take “pride” in your sexual interests. It is like taking “pride” in the fact that you like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
As if this liking were an achieving of some kind.
It is in fact a very strange form of narcissism to tout what you like as some kind of achievement, something to be “proud” of. A dangerous form of narcissism in that sexual interest is a very different kind of interest than being interested in mint chocolate chip ice cream. Then again, it would also be obnoxious in the extreme to find nothing but mint chocolate chop ice cream in the freezer case at the supermarket – and to be endlessly lectured by “activists” (and TeeVee commercials) about how fabulous mint chocolate chip ice cream is. To be obliged to affirm how fabulous it is at work. And to be fired, maybe, if you dared to say you weren’t interested; that you preferred vanilla.
What, as Seinfeld used to say, is wrong with these people?
That is easy enough to answer. It is not they are interested in people of the same sex. That is a superficiality. We are all interested in various things and that is our business. Most of us would never think of making it everyone else’s.
Reminds me of the old Dana Carvey skit mocking George Michaels with look at my butt.
Saw a great photo bomb of a Borat poster looking like it is peaking by an open door in the background of a “sexy” selfie from a comradette.
Muh Johnson is another one, that is something you are born with and not an achievement.
Remember when people kept quiet about their private sexy time?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
