Sometimes we are so busy protecting and defending our own beliefs, we commit
the same sins that are committed against us. Mainstream homosexuals,the closeted
and even the semi-closeted, often disparage other subcultures within their own
subculture. We who are "different" from the heterosexual majority,
and are attacked for being so, too often turn around and attack those who are
our "cousins," those who are "different" from us. It seems
as though there is always a lower rung on the ladder, there is always a group
to look down on.
There are, I must confess, certain factiops within the gay community which I
have trouble embracing. I am ashamed of myself for harboring Prejudices against
them, but I won-Fier who among us is without some prejudice? Prejudice is absorbed
as part of a child's education. As Oscar Hammerstein pointed out in South Pacific.
"You've got to be taught/ Before it's too late/ Before you are six/Or seven
or eight." And how do we reach the younger generation without appearing
to be pederasts?
One of the strongest arguments put forth by opponents of last spring's Gay Rights
Bill battle in New York City was that such a bill would mandate "teaching
children at an impressionable age that homosexuality and bisexuality are acceptable
alternatives." The statement was made by a priest speaking for the Archdiocese
of New York. How quickly a religious minority forgets its own persecution in
the heat of persecuting others. The homophobes who make me the angriest are
the Orthodox Jewish groups who vow, with fist upraised, "Never again,"
while encouraging another Holocaust with the other. In this day when discussions
of registration, quarantine, and ghettoization of homosexuals are discussed
openly, how Can Nazi Germany be so quickly forgotten?
What we must never forget is that we are, each of us, a little bit "different,"
and what an uninteresting place this planet would be if that were not so.
