A regular ohmybuhay reader was offended when I said in my Party Do’s and Don’ts …. “That was awkward. Gay?” He said why associate awkward with gay.
I was actually going to use the word lesbian but I thought maybe that might not sound good. When I said “gay?” It wasn’t attached to the awkwardness of the situation. I wanted to say that if a woman keeps on moving her body and face closer to another woman, baka siya ay attracted to women, hence maybe she’s gay. Nowadays kasi lesbian or homosexuals are called gay too.
My post might offend sensitivities again. No offense meant. Please don’t make tampo.
Ohmybuhay reader also said my husband and I are homophobic. I apologize if we appear to be so. I grew up when people frown upon gayness. My generation and my parents’ time considered male and female as the only genders created by nature. Anything in between is beyond the ordinary. But I am not homophobic. We employ people based on their competence, education, experience and potential. We don’t discriminate based on gender issues. We do have certain gender preferences for certain job positions, not due to discrimination but it’s more like suitability to the job that would be assigned.
Si Edmund naman, he squirms when he sees two gay people in tight embrace and lock lips. Okay lang sa kanya, wag lang may public display of affection.
I have no problem with gayness. But I must admit that I am thrown off by:
1. Gay men who strut around in short shorts, kekendeng-kendeng kita yung kalahati ng mga puweet.
2. Gay men who walks around in low waist pants showing their upper butt and the garter from the t-back.
3. Gay men wearing sheer pants and again, showing-off the multi-colored t-back they are wearing inside.
I am curious though how the front looks like.
4. Straight men and women using the gay language. Itis, putis, tumis.
5. Gay guys who are loud, vulgar and rowdy.
6. Gay guys who are sooo tsismoso, but then again, even straight men and women are super tsismosos.
7. Men who physically transform themselves into WOMEN and vice versa.
I understand the rationale behind removing your birdie and replacing it with a monay. I am not a psychologist but I believe this will not make you fulfilled, Maybe in the beginning if your decision is sex driven, but when your libido has waned and your monay has deteriorated due to age, lack of use or depreciation, there would be some emotional and deep psychological remorse that would be very difficult to deal with. And what if 10 years from now, you woke-up one morning realizing ayaw mo na ng monay and you want to get your old self back, itinapon na nung plastic surgeon yung birdie mo, paano na yun.
This is only my opinion.
My opinion doesn’t matter. Go ahead, but please think of it 100 times.
Life must be difficult if you are not what you want to be. Even straight men and women could suffer from this.
This doesn’t only apply to sexuality.
Knowing oneself and being true to it is one way of embracing the life God has given to us.
