PaganzofLA Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Well stated, and while nothing can be subtracted or taken away from what almost should be taken for granted, at least in the normative sense, is a thought as long gone as normality was in the wee early hours of 2015. Yet this is NOT a political rant. In fact just remove any and ALL political, civic and civil issues of equality and simply look at the state pf the queer experience. Now while you speak to the specifics of queer sex, intimacy, love--as it relates to you personally and indeed the real core of why we exist in the context of culture --and have a critical role that society at large cannot do without or you get what I'm already said I'm not brining up as part of the debate for the point I'm about to make. And that would be this: just as love/lust has an ultimate union that together opens the sum of its parts to be greater than the whole, in other words lust is better for love and love less lost for lust. And once unite3d these these two aspects are this wholy themselves and can be experienced as one and/or the other. The awareness you speak is a right of passage. My question or observation is this: On the App store search: gay -- and then overlay that on cultural development and then zoom in on interpersonal relationships (outside of pair bonding or sex) and then pry open the personal authority of appropriating a standard of behavior we ALL can give on and what do we get? It's NOT pretty. And it makes statements like yours ALL the more valuable and rare---and that's NOT the right direction. The fear I see I see is the fear that embracing one means giving up the other and that's NOTY the case. Yet when personal power is called into question and power is weilded by everything BUT what you mention, it's very difficult to convince power brokers otherwise. So change the system and everything else changes too. And this is my effort both large and small. Thanks for this opportunity to share.
