WHAT HOMOPHOBIA MEANS TO ME


Homophobia is the looks of disapproval I got from my family when I was just eleven years old. Homophobia is the way teachers tried to make me take an interest in women's genitals. Homophobia is unstated but implicit heterosexual bias. Homophobia is the idea that heterosexuality is the only normal sexuality. Homophobia is the fear I felt to get on the school bus every day. Homophobia is being hit with fists. Homophobia is being stared at and laughed at. Homophobia is being excluded and misunderstood. Homophobia is the idea that all gay men have especially close bonds with women, or act like women, or maybe have a female brain. Homophobia is people pressuring me to engage in sexual acts with women that I don't want. Homophobia is women and men coming between me and my happiness with other men. Homophobia is not being loved by my parents, not being cuddled, not being included in family. Homophobia meant that the supports I needed for my adolescent development were not there. Homophobia took away my trust in people. Homophobia made me feel ugly and unlovable. Homophobia made me retreat into a withdrawn state for several years. Homophobia made me believe that it was not possible for me to have consensual sex. Homophobia treats gay men as paedophiles when they are not. Homophobia did this and worse to other gay people. Homophobia causes suicide.

A lot of national focus is given to the planned mines in the northern Galilee basin, but the basin actually extends south and inland to current and planned mines in central Queensland. These southern mines export to Gladstone and not the Abbot point terminal. Perhaps the lack of attention to the port of Gladstone is because of the coal being coking rather than thermal? Still I am concerned that the Gladstone area, being an area of diverse ecology protected but threatened by development, is overlooked by the national level discussion of climate change impacts. The Stop Adani campaign is heartening and brings hope. I would...

BLACK MARKS ON YOUR SOUL Black marks on your soul, Eating you up, wearing you out. Black marks on your soul, Tying you up, filling you with doubt. Those black marks on your soul, They’ve eaten your heart. There’re black marks on your soul, And they’ll tear you apart. But I’ve no time for remorse. I shan’t mourn for your corpse.

NO KIDDFUKKER HERE

Satan's attempts at turning me into a kiddfukker have fallen flat, I will not be the first legal boylove paedophile for you. I won't marry a son or take a slave. You can't replace any of our childhoods with simulated pedo porn. To Satan and Autobook friends. I hate teenagers now since HAYDO, that Gladstone 4680 QLDer made me hate Gay Fagot Matis and too cold to work with under 23 year olds at all. Ever.
