I’m sure many of us have gone through this while we were growing up. Laughing at a fellow classmate being gay, or being laughed at being gay. If this didn’t happen in secondary school, in JC there’s this faggot comment going all around.
Many times we don’t mean what we say. We just say for fear of being on the opposite side. To the kids, there are only two sides. Homophobic aka the normal cool side, and the gay side. Even some teachers think this way. I remembered i had a teacher who commented that she would turn a classmate into homosexual right in class, for something that i don’t remember.
I have never taken a strong stand against gays. Against specific gays, yes. Like the middle age man who tried to pick me up at a gym near my place. To me that was downright despicable. A young man who’s barely out of JC, and an experienced gay taking active actions to prep and lure him to his place.
In fact i reckon i shouldn’t be using the word gay here. But i guess that’s the normal way the marginalized group is addressed in this society.
Go watch the movie. It’s funny. It’s entertaining. Yes. But it has its intrisic meaning.
Next time there’s a wear pink and run support gay movement or wear pink picnic movement, i will go out to the nearest mall, grab a pink shirt and show up at the event.
There is seriously nothing wrong with the lifestyle choice. Why marginalize them?
