Obama came through on his campaign theme of ‘equality’ Monday by proclaiming June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”. Obama lauded what he calls “the determination and dedication” of the LGBT movement.Â
In the same spirit of equality, I’d like to propose July to be designated as Heterosexual Pride Month in hopes of drawing attention to and appreciation for traditional moral values and marriage as practiced by heterosexuals. Heterosexual Pride Month could be an occasion to focus on the joys of being heterosexual and monogamous. And the determined and dedicated Americans who are both.
Heterosexuals, whom I’ll call ‘happies’, seldom have their voices heard or their sexual practices mentioned. Although a majority of Americans are happies, they are loath to flaunt their bedroom habits in public. Blame an ingrained sense of outdated modesty.
Most happies are advocates of traditional marriage and cling to the notion that sex should be a private affair. Some even believe that sex is a matter between a man and his wife and believe the government has no right to dictate or influence what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.Â
Some happies go even further and believe that God made Adam and Eve (not Adam and Steve) for a darn good reason. Most happies also believe that their sexual habits should not be thrust into the faces of those who feel differently. They call it, well, just good manners. Both of these views would be excellent topics for discussion during Heterosexual Pride Month.
Since the traditional family has long been considered a vital component of civil society, we could also use Heterosexual Pride Month to emphasize and explore the social compact that traditional marriage used to signify.
Now that Obama has brought tolerance back into vogue, I recommend using Heterosexual Pride Month as an occasion to voice the legitimate moral objections many Americans (57%) have to gay marriage and the plethora of sexual practices that Obama, in the name of equality, is demanding all Americans not only accept, but endorse.
I’d be willing to host a discussion on the topic of homophobia, and explore why 98% of happies are automatically labeled homophobic if they dare to comment on what they legitimately consider an aberrant lifestyle.
Another panel discussion during Heterosexual Pride Month could deal with wether or not gender should be optional. We could then explore the harmful effects of indoctrinating impressionable young children into the idea that gender and/or sexuality is merely a lifestyle option. Special emphasis could be placed on the documented detrimental effects of the gay lifestyle.
We could then go on to discuss the physical and mental health implications of gay vs. happy, and finish off with a quick overview of the Constitution and the role of government in dictating morality.
I would love for this to be recognized just as the ““Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.” I mean, we are talking EQUALITY right?
BTW, why isn’t it “Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month” or “Homosexual, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”
Is there something special about being lesbian that makes them separate from other homosexuals? Just curious. Last I checked, the term GAY referred to all homosexuals and not just males.
“I’d be willing to host a discussion on the topic of homophobia, and explore why 98% of happies are automatically labeled homophobic if they dare to comment on what they legitimately consider an aberrant lifestyle.”
I know I have been labeled at times due to my beliefs. Of course most who start talking to me about it automatically start with THINKING it is religious based. Then when they see that it isn’t, well … I hear all kinds of fabricated stories about magical mountain goats who live a homosexual only life-style (if that were the case, wouldn’t they be extinct?
Never mind the fact that male-male sex AND female-female sex will NEVER produce offspring without science intervening. Whereas male-female sex can readily procreate the species unless there is a medical malfunction.
I once had a pagan co-worker who was all for gay-rights. I found it very funny that he later was all pissed about people in polyamory – calling it “unnatural” “morally wrong” “against nature” – I had tears from laughing so hard by the time his rant was done.
Lastly, in redefining marriage as they are attempting so hard to do, the reasons I hear is simply that when people love each other, they should be allowed to marry and have the same legal rights as “straight people.”
Fine. Lets go with that for a moment.
Why is it I have seen some of the “tolerant gay marriage supporters” start condemning anything that is NOT A COUPLE.
The point I am making is that they want to redefine marriage to be TWO people who love each other. BUT … three or more is NOT OK.
I am sure that Mormons would love to have the legal right to marry their two or more wives.
And those in poly amory as well. I am sure they would love to legally marry those whom they too love and want equal rights like every one else.
Ask them where do THEY draw the line. If they say a couple, ask them WHY?
it’s really nice blog and also your post is helpful to us. very much interesting..!!
