Isn’t college fun?
I mean think about all those hot studs running around, drinking, partying, pledging to various Frat Houses? I mean doesn’t that just get your blood boiling, and your pecker a bit hard? After all, think of them in some tidy whities, smooth bodied, golden colored flesh from all that time out in the sun.
Then think of yourself, a fly on the wall as some of the hottest studs bend over to get a few whacks of pain, thinking that is all there is to it. Well, come read an original story over at gay fiction Reading about just such an experience.
Warning though, it isn’t what you might think when you read Pledge Uprising.
Arizona became the 16th state to reject federal funds for ‘Abstinence Only‘ education programs. Since its inception, the program has cost US Taxpayer’s nearly a half billion dollars, and so far studies have shown that the program is worthless. That is has no real impact on kids, and that it can actually do harm.
Like that took how many years for them to realize?
The study found that while abstinence-only efforts appear to have little positive impact, more comprehensive sex education programs were having “positive outcomes” including teenagers “delaying the initiation of sex, reducing the frequency of sex, reducing the number of sexual partners and increasing condom or contraceptive use.” (source)
Like it isn’t Rocket Science to know that telling kids not to have sex before they are married is not going to work. Teenagers love to party, to have fun and the last thing on their mind is about ‘saving themselves‘ for MR or MISS Right. It has been well proven in other countries, that only comprehensive education helps reduce sexual activity among teenagers.
It also helps reduce pregnancies and disease, but does George W. Bush and the Republicans understand that? Course not, because that would mean they actually gave a damn about people. Truth is, these programs are nothing but political payoff to a group of narrow minded bigots, that somehow took over the Republican Party.
Simple truth is, these abstinence programs were a payoff. No different than any other BRIBE.
The recent Victory by Senator Barack Obama in South Carolina tops the news, because let us be honest, who would have thought 10 or 20 years ago that a Black Man might become President? I know it was perhaps a dream among many, but did the White World ever truly believe it possible?
Given how ‘racism‘ has actually been on the rise over the last decade, you kind of have to sit back and smile each time Barack Obama wins a Primary, or comes close. I mean it is good for the soul, to see someone rising above the Racism that exists. And when you consider how many advances have been made in just 4 short decades, well nearly 5, but still, it is quite a remarkable feat.
It kind of gives one hope about the Gay struggle for ‘acceptance‘ given that our own ‘Civil Rights’ movement is only a decade or two behind the Black Movement. Yet, in some ways, I am not sure that Gays will reach this kind of pinnacle anytime soon. I mean look at how vehement the opposition is to just simply being allowed to Marry?
Then too, look at the race for President. There isn’t ONE SINGLE CANDIDATE standing up for Gay Rights. Oh I know, many believe that Hilary Clinton is a strong supporter, but frankly I don’t think so. Nor do I believe that Barack Obama is what one could call a ‘good friend‘ to Gay Rights.
In fact, if you heard his speech to a Church Audience long before people thought he could knock off Hilary Clinton, it wasn’t good news for us Gays. Now I know, it would be a real political killer if say he did support Gay Rights, and said so bluntly. I mean odds are he wouldn’t have won Iowa, let alone taken South Caroline or come within a whisker’s hair of winning New Hampshire.
Still, wouldn’t it be nice if Politicians could say that?
I mean what is the attraction of Bigotry & Racism? I don’t get why people need to ‘hate‘ others so much, irrespective of their differences? I mean what did Black People do that so many Whites feared them? Still do in some areas, but what did anyone do to the so called ‘silent majority‘ that made ‘racism‘ so acceptable?
Did a bunch of Gays hit on every Tom Dick & Harry they met? Was there some mass sex assault on Mainstream America that I missed? I mean, okay so you don’t understand how two men can have sex, or two women, with each other. Why should that offend or sicken you? Hey, I don’t like Haggis, but it is a National Dish for the Scots, should I now hate them? Ostracize them because they like Haggis?
Jews don’t accept that Jesus Christ is the son of God. So that means we should eradicate them from the World? That they should be killed at every opportunity as some Muslim Leaders believe, and some Christian one’s too, just seems crazy. And yet that is our world today, and then I see Barack Obama, winning in South Carolina, I hear how Caroline Kennedy has spoken out in support of him, remembering how inspirational her father was.
And I wonder, will hatred end in my lifetime, or will Barack Obama meet the same fate as John Kennedy? There is so much hate, and it isn’t based on anything tangible. People fear and hate homosexuals, because of some ancient passages in a book, but they foam at the mouth when they think a gay person will be able to show their love by marrying their partner. It is insane, and yet maybe, if they can get over the color issue, the barrier that people who have about different skin color, maybe there is hope they’ll get over the fact that I can love another man.
If Barack Obama goes on to become President, I think in the short term it really won’t help Gay Rights. There are just too many obstacles for him or any President to overcome right now. But in the long term, it does give one hope, and maybe that is all we can expect these days. Maybe a win by Obama will make people take stock, and realize how much they have missed out on, by being prejudiced for so long. Maybe at last, the human race is growing up.
We can only hope so.
