Cut It Out

Alright, so there is no catalyst for this particular rant. No one said anything. It has nothing to do with the media or recent blahblah. Just my feels.

So, yes, equal rights for marriage should be a thing. Everyone should be able to get married to whomever they choose. It's not up to the government to say otherwise. Whether the bible or the Qur'an or the book of Dr. Seuss says gays are sinful, it is not up to the government to agree with that and use that as their back up. Separation of church and state, right? (If I'm misquoting, please let me know.) I mean, witches can get married and we used to be burned in the town square. So yes, equal marriage rights for all. Equal rights in general for all. Blahblah, hurray hurrah.

Now, my issue is with extremists on both ends of the spectrum: gay, straight, bi, asexual, and whatthefuckever. DO NOT tell others to change themselves just because you like it. And yeah, I'm pretty much telling people off for being who they are. But they are hating on others who aren't like them. Straights hating on gays. Gays hating on straights. Gays hating on asexuals or the sexless. Everyone hating on everyone else. Really. And yes, this does happen. Quite often actually. Gays angry at straights, and even straights angry at straights. Girls will bash a straight guy because he won't blow another dude. Calling him close-minded and such. Seriously? FUCKING SERIOUSLY!? No one is allowed to have preferences anymore? No one can have what they want without being criticized for it?

Tell me if this sounds familiar:
Straight Guy: "Ew. You like dick? But dude, you should like pussy. I mean, pussy is great. Every dude likes pussy."
Gay Guy: "No, sorry, I like other guys."
SG: "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

Pretty exaggerated, but common, right?

Now how about this?
Straight Girl: "Ew. You like vagina? But dude, you should like dick. I mean, dick is great. Every dude likes dick."
Straight Guy: "No, sorry, I like girls."
SGirl: "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

Seems a bit more likely, right? Not so common, but no one bats an eyelash. They just go, "Oh, well, he should be more open-minded." And if it was turned on a girl by straight guys? "Well, that's just sexual harassment and sexism. Not all girls are lesbians or bisexual. Guys just like seeing that stuff 'cause they're gross." NO! You want tolerance for all? Then tolerate all! Tolerate the straights as well as the gays, bisexuals, asexuals, genderless, etc. Don't just fucking pick and choose. You can't call out for deletion of double standards and then have one of your own. Fuckin' hypocrite.

So, what's today's lesson,  children? "Don't be a twat!" Yaaaaaay.
