(no subject)

Recently I've been 'apondering' if you will (imagine old western tone on that one) myself and sexuality. Its funny, our need as a culture to so quickly brand and label everything. Every single color and micro-color is carefully selected through a contest and slapped in the next box of crayons. Every tone of human skin is carefully catagorized and immediatley 'racial slurs' appear. Its amazing to me - there is no grey area, just black and white (no racial pun intended). When's the last time somoene was allowed to just be themselves and not have to label who they are...sterotypes only follow and those, as we know as much to be true, are unfair until proven in each individual. To make the subject more personal, I've been questiong the specific label of gay. What truely is gay? Am I gay? Most I can tell it is the individual that has the ability to set their own standars and personalities so why should they fall into line and take on the overrinding stereo typical habits of the culture. It confusses me how we let our "free" selves be guided by rules that mean so little as a whole....maybe I'm just rambling but it makes sense. So, am I gay? If you term gay as having a sexuality only arousable by the male image than yes, I am 100% gay, But, if gay is to mean that I enjoy shopping and doing my hair and interior design then I most certainly am not gay. Unfortunetly too be gay in this world you have to be both meanings....when did love between to human beings turn into Prada and DKNY (for men of course) and salons and clubs and drugs.....I'm dissapointed in what most people reffer to as gay people and you wont hear me saying, "Oh yes I am gay" anytime soon.....I dunno, just some thoughts...I'm crazy!
