The Homosexual Threat
03/05/2006
What I have never understood about 'homophobia' or whatever the term is for people who make other people's lives a misery because of sexual preference, is why? I know that seems like a dumb question because most people have an answer: 'They' are 'different', it's 'unnatural', 'they' are child molesters, "I don't mind it as long as they're not gay around me", "I'm not homophobic, but I'm not gay". But these are not the reasons why we are homophobic, the real reasons are nothing to do with homosexuals, they are to do with the threat they pose to accepted power structures.
Power Structures? Nah, it's just unnatural, look at what the bible says!
And I'm sure you believe that racism occurs because of skin colour and sexism occurs because everyone truely, innately believes females are weaker. Both actually stemmed out of a threat to power, mainly because each group under attack posed a real threat to the accepted power structures. There are a lot of black people, together they would naturally be quite globally powerful, or at the very least simply ignore the insignificant power of the white man. Women make up 50% of the planet, the easiest way to knock them out of the game? Make it generally accepted that they are too weak, make it impossible for them to become economically independent and prove you wrong. Phew! now we're just down to white men controlling the world. Lets keep it that way.
I know that sound a bit crazy, but realisitically the belief that humans intuatively feel prejudiced against non white males is just ridiculous, of course these beliefs are planted in us and of course those planting the seeds of hate are not doing so out of the same beliefs.
But what threat does homosexuality pose?
What was the motivation behind embedding in us this notion that it is so wrong? I don't see the major threat to white males. Is it simply removing a few more people from the power equation? A way to justify the testing of the Aids virus for later release on the Black Africans? Does that sound too extreme? The reason I think it's a biggie is because homosexuality is so very entrenched in nature that it must have been awfully hard to convince us it was 'different'.
Take, for instance, this article, a true story about two male penguins in Central Park Zoo in New York who adopted an egg and raised the baby. This story was tuned into a book and could be found in the non-fiction section of the childrens library. It caused quite a stir for having 'homosexual undertones' and had to be relocated to the fiction section so the children didn't realise it was a true story. How possibly can we logicalise a true homosexual story being banned from the non-fiction section because it has homosexual undertones? We can't. And since I believe we are largely logical creatures APART from in the face of overwhelming brainwashing, I must assume there is some serious brainwashing going on. I just wish I knew why.
