CONSPIRACY TO STERILIZE GAYS?
I got almost cock-slapped on the dance floor, and it got me thinking. Some months ago I disconnected one testicle as a result of assault, hard to know if it was intentional or not. So in my head I go through (again) all the reasons someone would want to sterilize me.
Is there a secret conspiracy to sterilize me / gay men / Greens members? I just don't know.
In my head I recall ominous public health campaigns like "Ending HIV", fuck that sounds scary, like how do I know authorities won't just end our lives to achieve that goal?
Even "Extinction Rebellion" sounds ominous in my mind, like is someone out to kill us? Or is it a false flag / black mirror / sword of Damacles? Not long after our Hard Right government approved gay marriage, up pops the symbol for extinction on rainbow coloured flags, weird.
We are expected to believe a Hard Right wing government that disbelieves climate science, and is ideologically opposed to the Left wing people before profit agenda, has somehow enshrined respect for gays in it's cold corporate heart. Somehow I don't believe it.
In America Trump has removed some legal protections for gays. Would a less honest government instead surveil the gay population? Covertly collect information? What the hell does "Ending HIV" entail anyway?
In 2016 a trial of a self reporting support hotline for paedophiles was run in my home town of Bundaberg. Bundaberg has now been used as a trial site for the governments' Indue cashless welfare debit card for welfare recipients under 35. Probably because they are all on methamphetamine.
I have experienced homophobia in the Australian environmental activist movement. I have had a man threaten to break my knees just for being gay, at a protest camp near Bowen where people were gathered to learn about the traditional owners quest to Stop Adani.
There were a lot of serious people at that camp. I found some things, interactions with people, weird or quite strange. But then maybe some people think GAYS are weird and quite strange. The opponents of gay marriage didn't just go away when gay marriage was legalised.
When I reported the homophobia at Camp Babirra I was met with ambivalence and cold beaurocratic realism. When I went to my local doctor / hospital / pharmacy with my disconnected testicle I was met with serious but not sympathetic faces. In fact the whole town seemed to know, and not care.
So here I remain, alive. Damaged but not dead.
And I see things, and I think about them. And I wonder what motivations people have, beneath the surface.
I have seen gay people do things I have no conscience for, things I wouldn't do. I have done things I wouldn't do again, and wouldn't want young gay people to do.
Finally, I am not the Ayatollah of Gay. I am not a leader of the LGBTQ tribe. And I am deeply concerned that some people are trying to normalise paedophilia. I have heard the rainbow flag described in terms so vague it could include paedophiles. This angers me.
