I think I have issues discussing... erm, smuff. No, that's not how I want to say it. I really wanted to say "I have issues discussing the meaning of homosexuality" but I'm a bit timid.

I'd rather everyone live and let live and not talk about homosexuality as a separate identity. After all, we don't discuss heterosexuality as if it were anything unusual. And that's what upsets me. The very act of discussion makes homosexuality different. Abnormal. Unnatural. Seriously, there are no indepth discussions about heterosexuality as there are for homosexuality. It annoys me that people think that something so natural to me is so... not wrong, but unusual. Almost to a negative degree.

Then there's the subject of transvestites and transexuals. I won't pose my opinion about these subjects because I have no personal experience, and there for I do not want to give a statement that's full of shit.

Any statement that generalizes a large group of people, when taken out of a playful context, strikes me as wrong. What's worse is that when people accept these things so matter-of-factly. Even more so, when they're talking about that particular group's current mindset. Something said about how people felt in the past is safe because it's documented and unchangable. It's like saying that someone hates so and so when really they don't; misconceptions suck ass.

So, what spur all of this talk? Currently watching "The Celluloid Closet" with sis. And she asked for my view on the answer for the question Christy posed way back during that Buca dinner.
