Penn State LGBTA's Pride Week

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 02:37:39 GMT

One Member's disgust at the LGBTAQ (URJF... I swear by the time I graduate they'll have more letters than alphabet soup)'s reinforcement of the stereotypes of homosexuals.

Okay, the other day I picked up Penn State's awesome newspaper, and I came
across and article about Mr. and Ms. Gay Penn State. I read the article and I
could not help laughing out loud at the insane ridiculousness of this article.
Liberalism is so amazingly self-de-feating it floors me. Before you read any
further, allow me to point out that the purpose of this is to show how liberals
shoot themselves in the foot, not on whether homosexual-ity is good or bad.

Anyways, on with the rant: the pageant was a kind of capstone of Pride Week,
where the LGBTA comes out and has pro homosexuality rallies and such all week,
to end their persecution and whatnot. However, when it came time to do
pageant, they happily perpe-trated every single flingin-flangin stereotype that
they are trying to destroy. How in the world are us "close minded
conservatives" supposed to take their struggle seriously?

Now, onto my reasoning: the host of the little display was some dude in drag
under the call sign, or code name, or whatever-you-want-to-call-it "Miss
Guadalupe Couture." Now, please forgive my ignorance, but if this week is all
about gay pride and such, why on Earth would the host of the show not reveal
his real name? What do they have to be ashamed of? To add to my suspicions,
sure enough, on the front page is the host sporting a sassy little number
complete with pearls, a blue jacket, and thick, black, Unabomber style
sunglasses (the kind that have more tint than the windows on a Presidential
limo). Ahh, go Gay Pride (pumps fist in victory).

Okeydokey, then we have some of the contestants. They took monikers like
"Princess Sparkles" and "Sir Peter Pan." They had a wonderful evening of class
and grace involving stripping, anti-heterosexual comments, and racy jokes.
Even the host lost his/her shorts at some point. The Collegian even took the
time to mention that the contestants "strutted" and "sashayed" as they
performed for the onlookers. I can almost see the glitz right now. Anyways,
sorry about that, even I get star struck at times. Sir Peter Pan even leapt
from the stage as she/he was told to fly away by the marveling audience. I'll
let that one sink in for a sec. Picture someone flailing their arms joyously
in the background as Tink's pixie dust takes effect. Now, the point of this
paragraph is this: did everyone at this thing act like Jack from Will and
Grace? Were all the gay people this flamingly flamboyant? I mean, I have seen
The Birdcage and Queer Eye, but is everyone around here like Carson from that
bloody show? Are there any Will-esque gay people around? Couldn't someone
wear a suit, or are they all walking clichés? I mean jeez, all that they
needed was for Ms. Gay Penn State and Mr. Gay Penn State to frolic in the
fields, amongst the dew covered grasses, hither and yon.

Now there was a serious moment as one fella recited what it was like growing up
gay. Something like this I can totally understand at an event like this.
However, the possibility of this causing any intellectual thought is lost,
because he delves into the ridiculous a little later. We go from the plight of
being gay and possibly some tear shedding, to cheapening our own message by
talking about how blacks in Hollywood stole the "snap." Okay, the snap, I am
gonna guess that "the snap" is where you stick your hand in someone's face, and
say something to the effect of, "Save it," or "Talk to the hand." Usually at
the end, the title of girlfriend is added for some extra spice. Yeah, I am
sure we can all agree that the gay community is better off now that they have
their snap back, a snap that wasn't even technically stolen from them in the
first place. Ahh, I feel the pride swelling.

I know this was long, but I had to get my feelings out. This is probably also
horribly written crap, but hey, I ain't no writer. If you think that my
comments are harsh, I could care less. This was one of the dumbest things that
I read in the Collegian, and seemed to defeat every reason for Pride Week. It
had a blatant (for any liberal idiots out there, blatant has two "A"s, not an
"A" and an "E.") shallowness about it, and every time I think that the
Collegian can't drop any lower, someone hands them a shovel.

PS (I think personally that the thought of a grown man in drag is gross, and it
makes me want to heave. Everything else makes me want to laugh...loudly)

Abiding love and affection in all my closed mindedness (I can't wait for the
name calling with this one)

A certain yaffer passed this nouget of goodness along...

Pay attention to this particular paragraph:

"This confirms that Saddam Hussein and his regime had every intention of attacking the US, either here or abroad or both, using members of their own military for terrorist attacks. That puts an end to all of the arguments about whether we should have attacked Iraq, we now know that Saddam and his military planned to attack us. This one document demonstrates that had we not acted to topple Saddam Hussein, he would have acted to kill Americans around the world."

Next step - dig around in Syria a bit? I still think the WMDs were shipped over there. How satisfying would it be if we could finally prove to liberals what we've known all along - that there WERE WMDs, that Iraq WAS a serious threat, and that the war was justifiable for more than just liberation...

Liberals Burying Their Heads in the Sand

I just want to ask if anyone saw last night's South Park?

Aside from being hilarious as usual, the joke about Americans burying their head in the sand instead of standing up for the principles we all profess (in this case, defending freedom of speech from radicals overseas who don't even respect the American way of life) to believe in was incredibly telling. I think it also proves, once in for all, that liberals hold the ideas of tolerance and diversity more near and dear than the ever-important ideals of freedom and liberty. The question is - did people get it?
