WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
This is one of the funniest scenes from Boomerang. You can fast forward to 1:32 minutes to get to my point but WHY?? The whole scene is hilarious!
Why do we (and I count myself in this too) care so much about the sexual orientation of other people?
I mean this is not just a "straight" person or a homophobic curiosity either.
I have the same types of conversations with my gays about who's gay,
who's not and even though I dabble in speculation (who am I kidding.
I sometimes find myself doing full blown research on celebrities), the
question really should be "who cares?"
I like how I sometimes feign indifference when asked the question "Is so
and so gay?" I'm not so annoyed if it's about a celebrity, BUT I am
truly annoyed when being asked about someone I know; even if they are in
fact gay. So I answer "I don't know chile!! I don't sleep in their
bedroom!"
Again, why do we care so much? I took great pleasure (thrilled, I might even say) the other day when
I heard the news that the actress Ellen Page "came out"; not because
I had a "good for her! Now she can be free!" moment. I wish I were that person. Instead I
was like "I KNEW IT!!" And I spent the following two days trying to
figure out who I told years ago that she was. UGH! What is wrong with
me?
I think the fascination I have with outing someone is because deep down I just
wish people can be themselves and be open to love who they want to love
without having to hide. It must be incredibly tough regardless of
whether you're a public figure or not, to keep that intimate part of
one's self buried and hidden from family and friends.
Justifiable Gaydar Exception
NOW if I was to go on a witch hunt for gays, my prey would be the awful
men on the down low. Putting the lives of women and other men in danger
just because you're a coward is inexcusable and THAT's why people, I
will continue to keep my gaydar skills activated. I can at least try to
keep the women in my life safe...right? Or wrong? I really want to
hear back from y'all on this one.
Peace Out!!
