If Left Handed...

Have you ever read instructions for something and at the end they say "if you are left handed simply reverse the directions"?

I know i've seen this a hundred times.

I was reminded of this when I read this--

After some students were offended by Jada Pinkett Smith’s comments at Saturday’s Cultural Rhythms show, the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA) and the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations have begun working together to increase sensitivity toward issues of sexuality at Harvard.

You're probably wondering what this shameless minx said that so upset the natives.

BGLTSA Co-Chair Jordan B. Woods ’06 said that, while many BGLTSA members thought Pinkett Smith’s speech was “motivational,” some were insulted because they thought she narrowly defined the roles of men and women in relationships.“Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable,” he said.Calling the comments heteronormative, according to Woods, means they implied that standard sexual relationships are only between males and females.“Our position is that the comments weren’t homophobic, but the content was specific to male-female relationships,” Woods said.Margaret C. D. Barusch ’06, the other BGLTSA co-chair, said the comments might have seemed insensitive in effect, if not in intent.“I think the comments had a very strong focus for an extended period of time on how to effectively be in a relationship—a heterosexual relationship,” Barusch said. “I don’t think she meant to be offensive but I just don’t think she was that thoughtful.”

Damn her sultry eyes! I've just about had it with hetero's acting as if they compromise about 99.7% of the population.

Look, Gays, Queers, Transgendered and the wide variety of others of whom I, A.) don't particularly want to know what you do when the lights go out (oops, I'm probably being phobo-normal, I apologize to any over sensitive readers) or, B.) Those who roll in ways that would probably make me slightly incontinent.

It's just like the left handed directions I was talking about above. When confronted by evidence of loving hetero relationships, instead of shrieking about how gay love is just as hot and juicy, OOPS! I meant to say, just as wonderful. Just imagine they were talking about Ryan Seacrest.

Lighten up! Look, most straight people don't care all that much what ever the hell it is you do in your private time and with your private bits. But don't ask me to perform verbal circumulotions of the he/she/they/it variety, okay?

If you'all wish to be treated as something other than simpering prancing freaks, perhaps you could stop acting like simpering prancing freaks, just a thought.

Isn't there a straight man you could annoy with decorating tips somewhere?
