Last week we took the family vacation in Disney World. We had a great time enjoying the various theme parks down there especially Epcot. On the last day we hit Hollywood Disney where they had a Star Wars thing going on. A lot of the guests were dressed as their favorite Star Wars character and it was kind of fun. One girl had on the white skin tight outfit that Natalie Portman wore in Episode 2 and I have to say it was a little risque for a family venue. Other than that though it was fairly tame except for one thing, the overt flaunting of heterosexuality.
While at the park I saw many "couples" holding hand, hugging, kissing and carrying on without any regard for how the gay community felt. Married couples were there flaunting their ability to have children naturally, many of which had a lot more than they should. It's really a shame that the gay folks that were there had to endure such a blatant display of the sexual choice those couples were displaying. Of course I was right there in the thick of it holding hands with my wife and taking care of my family. I guess it was rather shallow of me to do this in front of them but it's so natural for me since I'm straight. It's hard for me to hide my straightness especially when I'm out in public. So to the gay community out there, please forgive me for being straight. I only wish I could hide my straightness like you hide your gayness.
Okay, enough sarcasm. You know, I could care less what you are but don't rub it in my nose. Is being gay an excuse to act like a deviant? Effeminate men, butch women, all acting, dressing, and generally displaying themselves to the world that they are gay. Do you see heterosexual couple out there doing these things? No, because in a social atmosphere it's considered inappropriate behavior. Just because your gay doesn't change the rules of decency and everyone would appreciate it if you would practice them. I really don't need to see two women wearing six foot rainbow colored wings on their back groping each other as I'm trying to enjoy my vacation. It would be different if I was going to a venue or community that was for this, but Disney World? Since when did Disney World become Market and Castro? I know this is a free country and being gay is a choice you make but don't make me a part of your lifestyle.
You know there is a gay stereotype out there. If you remember the TV show Will and Grace they had characters that were molded and shaped to fit this stereotype. Stereotypes are created to display the negatives of a trait and in this instance they show a side to homosexuality that is laughed at. You would think that as a person who wants to "just be accepted and fit in" you would want to shed these stereotypes and be upset when they're portrayed. Right now the homosexual stereotype promotes the weaknesses of the person and not their strengths. I don't think your sexual preference makes you weak so why do you want to display weakness to me? Here's a simple rule; you men act like men, and you women act like women. Think about that next time you look into your wardrobe and consider wearing those rainbow wings. Do you want to be looked at as a normal person or laughed at as a deviant?
