[Stay on your side]
Today marks the 7th time in the past two months that some guy has tried to get me to go out on a date with him. It isn't the same guy all the time, either. Sometimes he brings friends, and sometimes completely different guys try to 'rap' to me. I wouldn't be so pissed if I didn't already tell them that I'm straight. They say crap like "Don't knock it til ya try it", or they just continue on trying to court me, dispite my moving to a different seat, telling them to leave me alone, or completely ignoring them. Today, the guy was by himself, but he grabbed my ass as I got up from the seat. It took all the strength in me (plus the threat of legal action because the man is gay. It works kinda like if you attack me while being white. I have the option of calling it a hate crime.) to keep myself from ringing the man's neck right there on the EL. It's the fact that the guy and his friends keep trying to convert me (and the other forms of sexual harrassment) that piss me off the most. You don't see me trying to "straighten" gay people, so why recruit me? I have the right to be straight as much as you have the right to not be prosecuted for accepting cock in your butt. Dammit. Do I give off a gay vibe, though? I get approached by guys a whole hell of a lot... much more than I've ever even been looked at by a girl. What is it about me that attracts men? Once I find out, I'll have it removed. I just hate it when gay people pressure me, though- trying to make me feel bad about being straight if they can't convert me at all. The people try to make it seem like you can either be gay or immoral. It pisses me off. I leave you to your own, so leave me to enjoy women, please. Is it so wrong to like the opposite sex?
If I were to say I was proud to be straight, it would sound quite similar to someone saying they had white pride. Racist. Or, at least frowned upon. I guess I have no right to complain because gay people have been persecuted and treated like trash, but how can we be equal if you try to put yourself above me? It's like women's rights. I support women's rights, but I don't agree with chivalry. I'll treat you nicely because I'm nice, not because you're a girl. It's probably naive of me to think like this, but I believe we can't truly be equal until we stop putting certian groups on pedestols. What I mean is, celebrate the bravery and whatnot of each of these groups so as not to forget, but don't think that you're lower than they are because you are white or because you are straight. What I mean to say... well, it's like on black history month. The way things were done in the schools I've been in, it was "you should feel guilty about being white" month instead. Instead of focusing on the triumph of the blacks, such as the Rosa Parks incident or the Martin Luther King speech, it always seems like they focus on the horrible things that the whites did to us. I dunno. I just feel like there should be more "black" in black history month, like stuff about black people that they don't talk about... the pain should be included so it isn't repeated 'n all, but we need more about the guy who invented the Golf tee and all that kinda stuff. Ok, I went off on a tangent there. What I'm getting at is this- stop trying to make me feel guilty because I am straight. Because no one is pre labeled, the first refusal you get from me should be the last. Go on and look for someone gay to court, for there is no shortage. Thank you.
This kinda thing reminds me of evangelists... I hate stubborn evangelists. The thing is, they think they're doing you a service, and out of the goodness of thier hearts, they REFUSE to leave you be. That's how gay guys that have approached me have treated me. Is there like some sort of pride a gay man gets from successfully converting a straight guy? That seems to be the only explaination for the stubbornness. I'm no prize- I'm clumsy and kinda awquard looking, so it couldn't be that I look so-damn-good that they need to have me, so that doesn't seem like a plausable reason to me. I guess I'm just pissed that I never get approached by girls. That must work a little differently, then. Whatever. Stupid double standards.
