The Other Side of Queerdom

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck - it's a duck.

But as we've recently come to find in Malaysia, not everything's that simple. Slick lawyers can be mistaken for something else entirely. So can rampant homosexuals for that matter.

X : I fantasize about men. I have crushes on men. But I'm not gay.
Paul : Huh?
X : Well I don't have sex with men.
Paul : Huh? So that hand on my crotch bit was purely an accident then?

But let us not jump to conclusions yet.

So how would you define a gay man? Is it by the thought or purely defined by the act? By definition, homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex, or to a homosexual orientation. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality refers to having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of one’s own sex.

Balls
You think I'm gay?

So if a fellow has the occasional lustful thought without acting on the supposed sin, would that make that fellow gay? I would think not.

But if it occurs on a regular basis without abating, I think that would be just cause for suspicion. The thought counts. Since otherwise if the homo definition only extends to those who have indulged in backyard schoolboy buggery, I'm afraid quite a number would have lost their pink passports a long while ago.

And that includes the closeted virgins out there. Not to mention those not receiving their anal dose regularly.

Makes sense actually. No wonder after a certain age, you'd find gay men nearly extinct in the country! Since most -if they're not put out to pasture without their weekly buttfucks - either repent, revile or revise their tactics! Repent by getting married to the nearest willing bridezilla. Revile by taking an aggressively homophobic stand instead - perhaps even opening a reformation camp for despairing fags. Or otherwise revise their tactics by making haste to leave the country for pinker pastures.

But that's all me. Some people equate homosexuality with the act of sodomy by itself. So rampant in our papers these days that it's a matter of time before they have a raunchy show-and-tell article on sodomy. :)

For those curious about visiting the other side of the matter just take a look at what Afiq has to say about gay muslims. Not that I'm commending him for his point of view but I'm glad that he has put forth his ideas in an articulate, non-judgemental way while somewhat tolerating ( sort of! ) the mores of the unrepentant sinners. Quite a refreshing take - out of the mouths of babes - far from the usual rabid militant curses I get from the right-wing conservatives!

all in the definition, really. otherwise, there's really no such thing as a gay virgin. or there's no such thing as a heterosexual.

unfortunately, it's the damnable semantics that get in the way of the REAL fun.

i truly hate that we only bring up homosexuality when it serves a political agenda. nothing here is ever, ever done for the right reasons. it is sad.

as for gay-dom, i think it may very well be a self-id sorta thing. if one identifies themselves as straight, he can go think about lockerroom scenes all he wants but wouldn't be gay(cue politician in the loo). and no amount of external labelling will change his mind either.

as for me, i consider myself pink even when i think about sex with women. i suppose at the end of the day, it is what are we most confortable with, can live with, that matters.

Isn't it agreed that God has power over the outcomes of events beyond human control?

Can we agree that these events include the traits of an unborn baby?

Studies have proven that for most people, their sexual orientation is predetermined even before birth, while the child is being concieved.

So to deny one's homosexuality would be like denying that one was born with brown eyes or dark skin. To conclude, if anyone is responsible for making an individual gay, it should be God.

You can wear contacts to hide your eye colour, but they'll always be brown. The only sin here is from the regret of not ever having to show ppl your brown eyes and the sin from the denial of your being.

Denial is a powerful tool. Rationalizing can also be more destructive.

Anyway, when I think a guy is hot my hand might wander towards their crotch too (kidding)!

True enough, qsl and william. What's a label after all :P

Wish it wasn't that way but the politicians will always need to a dead horse to whip after all, kit.

Guess I'm not the only one then, hamsap.

I bet the guys would blame the women, leo!

Same here, emo happiness. No worries, we can still admire.

Great post, aqmal.

Why not? Let your hands wander, ninja - but make sure you can run fast enough as well.

Meant to be, dazedblu.
