Random sociopolitical rant

Aug 12, 2010 16:00

Look, don't tell me my gay atheist conservative right wing Republican friends can't exist. They're not unicorns, damn it. People don't fit into your neat little boxes. And don't you dare tell me that it is impossible to be a gay atheist conservative right wing Republican living in Virginia with a long term same sex partner. I just talked to both of them on the phone about their cat's failing health. They exist!
You know what, stop talking. Just shut up.
What the hell is wrong with people? People exist outside of boxes and stereotypes whether you want them to or not. In fact, one of the most amusing things I have ever, ever heard was "Your friend claims to be a gay pagan pro-choice conservative Republican? Then he's not a real Republican, because real Republicans can't be gay or pagan or pro-choice." This was said by a left wing liberal Democrat who bragged about being accepting of all people no matter what and who claimed to never stereotype people. I almost cyber-bitchslapped him.
It's even funnier than the guy who told me I was a bad pagan because I was not a liberal Democrat.
Damn it, humanity, stop making me facepalm and headdesk all over the place.
Boxes. They can be broken. Seriously.
Argh.

This is why I stay out of politics. Politics make my head hurt.

If I wasn't in so much physical pain right now, I might rant more, but this is all I can come up with.

stupidity, society, politics, gay couples, humanity
