Gay Rant
thelistkeeper took the "What % gay are you?" quiz on Facebook, so I decided to take it too, because why the hell not? It's a ridiculous quiz and I'm a ridiculous queer. Go!
Btw, before I go into my rant, I'm apparently 88% gay (somehow gayer than Xan, lol, love you, baby) based on my assessment of my own gaydar (it's shit), how flamboyant I am, if I've ever had gay sex dreams, how I react to seeing gays kissing, how I greet people (Hello...?), if I've ever slept in the same bed as another girl, and how many gay friends I have... Yeah... Anyway.
My mother texted me to ask me if it was necessary to put the results on Facebook... Now, I fucking love my mom. And she's... Usually pretty supportive of damn near everything I do. But really? It's like she's still afraid that somebody in the family is going to find out about me or something.
I texted her back and said, "Seriously, mom? It's a quiz on Facebook. If anybody takes a quiz result on Facebook to heart and to be the final word on the subject and makes a huge stink out of it, then they have bigger issues to deal with than my % of gay."
She hit me back with, "I know but I'd just like to lay low for a while (she just had surgery, like, yesterday... literally... And she's been glued to her Blackberry since. Fucking sleep, Jesus Christ) and not have to explain everything all the time. Now I don't have to." Then, "Now all we need is "what % heterosexual are you?" I just don't think sexual preference needs to be on Facebook. It will probably bite you in the ass later." Aaaand then, when I didn't respond, because I'm ranting on eljay right now, she texted me back to say nevermind...
... *sighs* The jerkish, immature, still-kind-of-a-teenager-sometimes part of me wants to post a note on facebook and just fucking come out and tag EVERYBODY who doesn't know. But at the same time, the mature part of me who is proud and accepting of my queerness (tis a word!) is readily pointing out that the only purpose in doing that would be to humiliate my mother. And that's horrible. I dunno if I'm ranting about her or myself. Arg.
