The Other Side of Queerdom

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck - it's a duck.

But as we've recently come to find in Malaysia, not everything's that simple. Slick lawyers can be mistaken for something else entirely. So can rampant homosexuals for that matter.

X : I fantasize about men. I have crushes on men. But I'm not gay.
Paul : Huh?
X : Well I don't have sex with men.
Paul : Huh? So that hand on my crotch bit was purely an accident then?

But let us not jump to conclusions yet.

So how would you define a gay man? Is it by the thought or purely defined by the act? By definition, homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex, or to a homosexual orientation. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality refers to having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of one’s own sex.


You think I'm gay?
So if a fellow has the occasional lustful thought without acting on the supposed sin, would that make that fellow gay? I would think not.

But if it occurs on a regular basis without abating, I think that would be just cause for suspicion. The thought counts. Since otherwise if the homo definition only extends to those who have indulged in backyard schoolboy buggery, I'm afraid quite a number would have lost their pink passports a long while ago.

And that includes the closeted virgins out there. Not to mention those not receiving their anal dose regularly.

Makes sense actually. No wonder after a certain age, you'd find gay men nearly extinct in the country! Since most -if they're not put out to pasture without their weekly buttfucks - either repent, revile or revise their tactics! Repent by getting married to the nearest willing bridezilla. Revile by taking an aggressively homophobic stand instead - perhaps even opening a reformation camp for despairing fags. Or otherwise revise their tactics by making haste to leave the country for pinker pastures.

But that's all me. Some people equate homosexuality with the act of sodomy by itself. So rampant in our papers these days that it's a matter of time before they have a raunchy show-and-tell article on sodomy. :)

For those curious about visiting the other side of the matter just take a look at what Afiq has to say about gay muslims. Not that I'm commending him for his point of view but I'm glad that he has put forth his ideas in an articulate, non-judgemental way while somewhat tolerating ( sort of! ) the mores of the unrepentant sinners. Quite a refreshing take - out of the mouths of babes - far from the usual rabid militant curses I get from the right-wing conservatives!
