- Rob Jellinghaus says:
- > And surely you agree that stupid het boys are deserving of condemnation?
-
- To which I respond:
- Actually, no. That's just my point. What they are deserving of is
- education, but they are no more deserving of condemnation than are you or
- anyone else.
- Condemning that which you do not understand is far too easy.
- If he calls you a faggot, and you call him a stupid het boy, have the two
- of you made any progress? Are you any closer to a tolerant society in
- which homosexuality is not frowned upon?
-
- Seriously, this group too often takes on overtones of over-simplification.
- "Gay guys make better friends for women."
- "Stupid het boys deserve condemnation."
- "All men who oppose homosexuality are secretly gay."
- "All gay men like anal sex."
- "Heterosexuals just don't understand."
-
- All I'm asking is that each of us be treated as individuals. Dispense
- with the vague generalizations, the blanket statements. Reason with the
- "stupid het boy", don't yell at him. If he won't listen, try someone
- else. Eventually, if you reason with enough people, the "stupid het boy"
- will be an irrelevant relic of the past.
