'Just Say, "Gay"'
RECEIVED Fri., June 4, 2010
Dear Editor,
The June 4 cover of The Austin Chronicle is my favorite this year! The photograph of LZ Love is beautiful – beautiful. The Maakies strip was actually funny, beautifully drawn as usual, but not nauseating!
Speaking of wanting to barf, how 'bout that oil spill disaster, courtesy of the Rothschilds' company BP? (I wrote a “hilariously” violent version of the Aristocrats gag (after the movie), with a similar family name, Bathschilds, for the punch line.)
I feel guilty celebrating Gay Pride Month while marine life and people’s livelihoods in the Gulf are being destroyed, brought to us by that death cult via our insatiable addiction to the black ooze.
My resolution for Pride 2010 is to drop the letters “L,” “B,” and “T” from the alphabet moniker, and just say, “gay.” To include all us freaky bees and ho's!
A shout-out and my eternal appreciation goes to God and the intrepid ladies of Stonewall! And to the Founding Fathers, who, although they did not envision equal rights for same-sex (gay) partnerships, laid the foundation for that possibility in the First Amendment.
My gratitude goes also to my incredibly homophobic hometown, Shreveport, La., in the Fifties and Sixties, where shunning and psychological and physical abuse of “the different” was a fine art. It made me a strong adult (together with decades of psychotherapy).
As ever, kudos to the staff of the Chronicle. Remember, “Just say, 'gay.'”
