But in likening his sympathies to the klan, he’s not all that off. Not because he himself was a Klansman, but because he stood for certain principles that many of us have no issue likening to those who secretly sympathize with the klan.

“So, you think lynchers are just as bad as homophobes?” Not necessarily, because no one I know has the guts to be a lyncher, but they are repulsive homophobes, and I’ve seen their passive aggressive shit at work. And in another generation, these same cowards would have whispered quiet racist epithets rather than their snide remarks about Belmont Shores (the part of Long Beach that doesn’t smell bad, to you non southlanders).

“You’re using a lot of multi-syllabic words, Zoe, but I think that’s just a cover for the fact that you’re a gay-lover.” You’re damn fucking right. Let’s lay it on the fucking table, people. No more polite talk. I’m sick of this hateful shit. I am a 100 % heterosexual male who has had a loving woman in my life for four years now. And I love gay people. Not in general, per se, because I don’t like most people, regardless of their perverted preferences. But there are gay men and women in my life that I trust and love and are a part of my life. And in the 1960’s, in the heat of it all, caucasians who had black friends undoubtedly felt the same vehemence.

“Is this really the forum to be trying to exercise this argument in this extent?” I don’t know. Why the fuck not? We just talk about whatever here, don’t we? It’s the bloody interweb. There are no editors. You deal with it or you don’t.

People in my parents generation lived in an era when people with darker skin pigment did not have the same legal status as themselves. To people in my generation, this is incredible. Amazing. How did this happen? I mean, I have these people over at my house, I work with them – what could it have possibly been like to live in an environment where your fellow human beings – your friends – were treated as second class citizens?

Homosexuals have a larger hurdle to cross. At least that’s my interpretation. Think it’s a lifestyle choice? Fuck you, you’re an idiot, and you know that’s crap.

We’d all back up our friends, whatever their deal. The difference between me and you is that my gay friends outed themselves to me because they know I don’t give a fuck. There’s an expression: “if every gay person in the world turned purple homophobia would disappear overnight.” That’s crap, really. But I understand what they’re saying. Everyone on this earth, if they just got over it, would find out who the gay people they care about and like are.

“What the hell does this have to do with the owner of the Bees for God’s sake?!!” You’re the one that brought it up. And I don’t know him, so i don’t know if he’s was a good person or not. But you know what? If he had blocked Jungle Fever from his theatres few of you would have an issue with saying “he shouldn’t a’ dun that.” Well It’s the goddamn 21st century, people. Time to fucking evolve.

And if you don’t want to see Brokeback Mountain, that’s fine. It was just a minimalist piece where mostly nothing happened. Cinematically, not most people’s piece of pie. And it does have men kissing, which makes a lot of us uncomfortable… But fucking grow up and get the fuck over it.
