When I was young and dumb, I used to worry about whether a person was gay or not. In fact, I was young and dumb enough not to use nice terms like GAY.
When I was a little older, but still just as dumb I am afraid, I got caught up in the Gay Revolution of the mid-1970’s in San Francisco. And quite frankly, if you were not gay, it was often not very pleasant. And I was not as welcoming of a person’s lifestyle when they were gay.
But I left that pressure cooker of San Francisco, matured a whole lot, and met a lot of people gay and straight that made me realize that there was no damned reason to stereotype anyone.
So I decided that I do not care at all whether anyone is straight or gay. I mean that in spades. I do not care!
But hold on a moment, Skippy! That means I do not want you throwing your new-found freedom and lifestyle in my face. I don’t care! It may be a new toy to you but take it somewhere else. And before you think I am anti-gay – if a straight man or woman acts like a whore, pimp, or gigolo around me; if a straight man or woman makes every comment or phrase a sexual innuendo; if a straight man or woman constantly talk about sex and sexual conquests (real or otherwise) – it disgusts me as well as when the gay person does it. You are not shocking me, you are not forcing your lifestyle on me, you are just showing your stupidity and lack of tolerance and maturity.
Remember – I DON’T CARE!
