We Cannot Win

They will say, "I have no problem with gays, BUT keep it to yourself." And that is sign of ignorance stemming from homophobia so we...do...keep it to ourselves. 

Until...now, we're "cowards" and not being TRUE for keeping it to ourselves. 

So...we...come out. Now we're accused of forcing homosexuality on those oppose...the "gay agenda."

WE CANNOT WIN!

As I sit here, randomly thinking back to a Facebook post one of older cousins posted with about her son's [also my cousin, of course] concerns about a certain homosexual student at his school. This was sometime last year, so I do not remember it verbatim.

His concerns were this flamboyant peer that he believe to be "forcing" his homosexuality upon him by simply being open about HIMSELF. Wow, for someone reason being real with YOURSELF seems to concern others. 

I wanted to comment on that status SOOOO bad, but I have this thing were I feel that its rude to comment and debate on someone's Facebook status. If its from a Facebook page, then fine, but someone's personal status though....no I do not like doing that. 

But what I WANTED to say:

Tell your son [my cousin] that someone being open about their self is no reflection of YOU. Tell your son [my cousin] that unless this boy is hitting on him, he should not be concerned. He should be concerned about girls....FEMALES. He should not be concerned with ANY dude...period. Why he worried?

So...yeah...that would have been a little too STRONG! Lmao....and for this to be FAMILY too. Nah, I ain't that guy. 

Now, this older cousin has TWO sons, I have formally met one. I never was able to confirm WHICH brother I've formally met and IS the same one that had concerns about his homosexual peer from school.

 Funny thing, the one that I DID meet [at an Aunt's house] seem VERY excited to "rough-house" with me...you know, play wrestle. Now this may very well have been an innocent "boys-will-be-boys" and "just playing" type of thing, but he was very persistent in having body to body contact with me. That's something I look back on and always believed to be a little suspect...TO Me. Maybe I am thinking too much into it, but I've been around any cousin/boy/sibling that wanted to wrestle that bad. 

Now if this IS the same cousin of mine that I've play wrestled with...I think I know what his "problem"....don't make me SAY it, honey! Lmao.
