Survey: What’s your gay agenda?
This post was again inspired by Anji and her LJ post; maybe she should take over this site. (Or maybe I should get my arse in gear and get caught up on work so I can think of post topics on my own.) Since so many people seem to think that gays have some terrible agenda, from secret conspiracies to undermine the Christian church to being the new threat to the free world (and let’s not forget ruining the traditional family and discriminating against straight people)…maybe it’s about time to show people what gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transfolk really think about when we’re plotting our day-to-day agenda. And hell, if you’re straight…what’s your agenda? Gay genocide? Conversion therapy? No? I didn’t think so.
My gay agenda:
Turn your children gay by age five.Become a published fiction author by the time I’m 30.Destroy your faith in God.Make my move to Chicago (almost there, already booked the movers).End you and all that you love, you filthy heteros.Continue to improve my writing skills.Ruin good moral values by having lots and lots of unprotected sex.Keep myself healthy for as long as I can.Crumble the foundations of families by getting married.Look after those that I care about.Spread disease by fucking like a filthy little monkey with anything that moves.Make more time to read, as I don’t do it nearly enough lately.Do a lot of drugs. And give them to your children.Learn to bellydance.Take over Congress and make it illegal to be straight.…finish this frigging project that’s due by 1p CST today.
So that’s my agenda for the next few days, months, years…whatever. That’s what I think about when I think of things I plan to do. I suppose when you look at that as a gay agenda, we don’t seem like such terrible fiends (as long as you don’t read between certain lines and take a little tongue-in-cheek humor too seriously… >.>). Too bad we can’t get a few homophobes to understand that.

…I still need to take in my dry cleaning (running out of clean shirts) and drop another 10-15 pounds before a certain someone comes to Chicago…

I just want to get my house, so I don’t have to worry about the neighbors complaining about my dog. I should have it in four more weeks, and then I can move. Probably need to make moving plans and tell the apartment people I’m not renewing. I think there’s a form I have to fill out.

1) Finish school.
2) Get a decent job.
3) Profit!
4) Someday maybe marry someone.
5) Have hot gay sex.
6) Play video games and roleplay
7) Spend time with friends.
That’s my list.

Finish all of my homework. Pass Chem this semester so I never have to take any ever again. Deal with that class that I failed. Get more than four hours of sleep a night. Learn how to cook (my roommate says that she will teach me, at least well enough that I don’t explode or burn everything that I try to cook). Get my emotional baggage figured out and under control. Protect people that I care about.

Oh, and convincing all my friends that heterosexuality doesn’t actually exist (Just get over it already!)
And I’m sure there’s plenty more. That’s the main stuff, though.
Ah…I love lists. :3 (And for the record…that last bit is probably a little true. It’s okay, though. I don’t think I actually have any “straight” friends. :P)

Shirvona, it’s 42 =)
March 28th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I know, but I want to find another one just for fun. Also, if I say that I’m trying to find the meaning of life, I discover how many people know the hitchhiker’s guide, and therefore who I can and cannot relate to.

My most immediate piece of (gay!) agenda is to get my girlfriend to come out of the closet (probably kicking and screaming).
My more lengthy (gay!) agenda includes getting my ph. D, living in New York City at some point in my life and also getting published. (Although I’m not talking about books or stories here, I’m going to be authoring and hopefully publishing scientific articles which are, luckily for me, FAR shorter than most works of fiction. Not that scientific articles can’t be fictional, but hopefully mine will not be!)

4. Enjoy living alone.
5. Enjoy hanging out with my few friends, whether on the phone, over the internet, or in person.
6. Work in counselling to prepare for school and get over test-taking enxiety.
7. Get out of my financial hole.

11. Join a gay marching band as a flute player and perform while wearing a rainbow-colored, sequined, g-string bikini to march from Temple Square (Mormon religious capital of the world) to the Cathedral of the Madeline in the middle of winter.
