Coming Out

Whoa! Before you get the wrong idea I want to clarify that I still declare myself a 100%
TOTALLY committed heterosexual male.

So why the title? I think it is the best way to announce my commitment to "throwing off" the covers and - "Coming Out of the Closet", so to speak, stating my views and making them clearly known to all without fear (or a care) what others think; further stated, only that they think!

And so, for a topic for this inaugural blog I have chosen, appropriately enough the subject of homosexual marriage (choice of words chosen VERY deliberately - only because I'm still struggling to muster the courage to use what I believe is a far more fitting proper title to such a queer relationship).

Years ago I recall having a conversation with a friend who (only half joking) stated, "They have taken a perfectly good word and substituted it with a totally deceptive word - "Gay". Recognizing, however, how (although, nonetheless in my view, aptly descriptive) offensive the word queer is to most Americans I am encouraging the use of the totally proper, correct and inoffensive term "homosexual" be used in all cases to properly the nature of such queer relationships.

In my mind, (as Abe Lincoln might have said) "it is all fitting and proper that we do this, but in a larger sense ... "; because if you able to be honest with yourself, it is hard to deny how much of a right of passage the use of the word "Gay" has given to members of whathas now become (sadly) the "Gay Community".

Before the substitution of this word a vast number (if not a majority) of homosexuals were "closet homosexuals" for a good reason. That being that society did not openly approve and accept queer behavior.

Today, however, our liberal bent has promoted such relationships to the point that it is now not only accepted, but is promoted and even, it would sometimes appear, even promoted. Just yesterday, your President came out in favor of "homosexual (Gay) marriage".

Make no mistake about it, "It is not about LOVE, it's about MONEY". I'm not opposed to their right to have whatever relationship they choose, so long as I am not expected to support (and therefore summarily encourage) that relationship.

In fact, I favor, promote and encourage "the closet homosexual"; in my opinion, "Gay pride" sucks! I believe that they were fine "in the closet" doing as they choose behind closed doors. I am not afraid to say that I find that type relationship offensive and neitherencourage nor support it.

If I had a son or daughter who was a homosexual, I would, of course, struggle with their sexuality; but, I would not be ashamed of them. I would still love them for where they were at. I would, however, be saddened by their abnormality and the beauty of heterosexual relationship that they were missing.

I know that homosexuals will offended by my even pronouncing them to be suffering from an abnormality, but ... it is what is, and I would even conclude with where I began and state that(forgive my many cliché’s, but the strength and clarity of their meaning is beyond reproach); and so, "call a spade a spade" - queer still defines the nature of the relationship.
