GIFTS FOR FAGS

As some may have noticed, I have not been a dedicated blogger lately.  My boy is in Honolulu and has proved to be quite distracting.  I am not complaining.  In fact, we have both made the dorky but very contemporary decision to change our friendster profiles to indicate our new non-single status.  I do believe that in today’s world, this is quite a significant move.

As I told him earlier today, just as he needs to run at least four times a week to feel healthy, I need to write at least four times  a week to stay sane.  So, I return once more to the blog.

The boy is also from Hawaii and thought that this trip here would be a good opportunity to come out to his extended family including a few older aunts and a grandmother.  The process has, in general, been a positive one.  One of his aunts decided to take him shopping and buy him lunch after he came out.

What if everyone got gifts and a free meal when coming out of the closet?  What if this became a new cultural norm?  Would it not be easier for the youth of America to come to terms with their sexuality? 

The answer is, of course, yes.  I now shall begin the movement to enforce this norm.  If anyone comes out to me I shall purchase them a meal and/or a gift. 

Imagine how this will change the world.  Coming out to a large group of people will make a difficult experience like Christmas.  Soon, like Christmas and birthdays, people will be dreading the gift-giving expectation:

“James came out to me today.  I am fine with him being a faggot but now I have to buy him a damn gift.  What do you get a new fag?”

“I think kitchen items or high-priced clothing.”

I urge you, dear readers, to spread the word that acceptance is not enough! It is time to demand those special rights that the conservatives say we are already getting.  It is time to demand a gift.
