Hypocrisy in Relation to Sexual Orientation
Posted by Claudia Claudia on Friday, May 18, 2012
You will learn very quickly I hate hypocrites, and I try so very hard not to be one, however, in some situations it is almost impossible. My most hated hypocritical statements are in relation to a man or woman's sexual orientation; specifically if that man or woman is homosexual.
These statements are;
Heterosexual Girls: "OMG. I've ALWAYS wanted a gay best friend. But, ew, lesbians are gross."
Heterosexual Guys:"Dude, lesbians are so hot. Oi homo, get lost you freak."
Seriously, are you people so self centered and moronic to think that if someone around you that is homosexual will be automatically be in love with you? Most importantly, how can one bother you and not the other? Its the same thing! This guy I know and I were talking about it and I asked him about it. He said, "I know that not every gay guy is going to be in love with me, but it is the possibility that a guy could think about doing that kind of thing with you. And the lesbian thing, most guys fantasize about that."
I appreciated his honesty. My response: "Trust me, not every girl who likes guys thinks about doing that kind of stuff with their guy friend. Why should it be any different with a guy friend who likes guys as well?"
That had him stumped.
I don't understand the double standard hypocrisy. I really don't. However, that just may be because my parents have brought me up to love everyone equally and to treat people as you want to be treated. That, and the fact Ihave a few homosexual friends and I have seen the emotional pain it has put them through.
It's not fair
