a political moment
Oct. 29th, 2004 05:18 pmI woke up from a strange superhero dream this morning and wanted to record it, but I put it off, so I've mostly lost it. It was very meta, stuff about what comic-book characters do when their creators aren't busy writing stories. That's all I really remember. There was something about a belly-dancing class, too.
Anyway, here's a political moment I've been meaning to have. Those not eligible to vote in the upcoming election can just skip it.
The lunatic christian fringe. One of the ongoing themes of this sort of person is beating up on faggots. Bush's White House has been against the growth of states officially legitimizing gay marriage. One sometimes suspects that they'd love to simply round up all the faggots and shoot them, or "cure" them. This is one of the elements Bush panders to. This is an element the whole Republican party has continuously embraced and sucked up to.
I am male-to-female transsexual who mostly seems to prefer women over men.
I, in short, am a faggot.
So, if you go vote for Bush, hey, you're voting for a world-view that wants to make me unexist, that would rather see me a sexless, unhappy boy. Who'd probably do a lot less art.
Keep that in mind when you go hit the polls.
