Freaks of the Nation Unite

Topic: Jaylyn's Point of View
A long time ago I was disgusted whenever I heard the word freak when someone applied it to me. I was so deep in my closet that I could not accept the fact that I was one of the freaks of the world. I wasted a lot of time hiding from the world and cowering behind my own inhibitions. I was worried about what other people thought of me, and at that time I would have argued that I was most certainly not a freak. I would have also lied and told you that I never ever had a thought of sleeping with another woman, much less having sex with her.
A lot has happened over the last eight years. I finally got brave enough to kick the closet door down and start living my life as the person I really am. I am a lesbian. I love women. I would like to some day be able to marry the woman I love. However, even just after I came out I would have still argued that I was not and never would be a freak. Most recently I have changed my mind. I am a freak, and I am proud of it.
What has changed my mind? You might ask. Well, it has taken a while, however I have become more comfortable in my own skin, and I have realized that the people who can actually admit that they are freaks are more honest with themselves and other people, especially other freaks. Why should I worry about what anyone else thinks of me? I am now more worried about those who inhibit themselves to the point that they would hurt themselves or someone else, because they are afraid of what someone else might think of them. I was almost one of them.
Honestly do you really think all of the so-called moral majority have never been banged while they were tied up, tied down, or up against the wall? In his book, The Sanctity of Marriage: The Ultimate Guide to Marriage-Between a Man and a Woman-by Those Who Cast the First Stone, Bryan Harris takes a look at how the moral majority have tried to hide all of their own tawdry affairs while trying to fry someone like Bill Clinton for the same things they, themselves try to keep well hidden.
While I can neither condone nor endorse what Bill Clinton did while he served as president as being morally correct from a stand-point, of the fact that he is a married man. I cannot stand to have anyone around me who just can't get the stick out of their ass and own up to having sex before marriage, fooling around on their partners or spouses, having a same sex fling, and/or just being a little freaky now and then. Because there are a Hell of a lot more people in this country who have done one or more of these things than there are people who have not. The moral majority would like the rest of us to believe that they have never done any of these things much less actually enjoyed having sex. I really don't think the entire moral majority just goes with the missionary position all the time. I also don't believe that those same people have never enjoyed a good orgasm once in a while either.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the people who consider themselves to be part of the moral majority need to go shouting about their sexual encounters to the rest of the world. Frankly I wouldn't want any details from the bedroom of George W. and Laura Bush. Nor would I like to know about what the hooker was saying to Jerry Fallwell when she was talking dirty to him. Who would? Uhg!!!
I would just like for them to mellow out and not insult the intelligence of the rest of us by insinuating that they have never done anything sexually explicit. The people in this country who sit in judgement of the freaks around them are truly no better than the freaks. And they should have no right what-so-ever judging what is morally correct between two consenting adults.
As I said, the moral majority sits in judgement of those of us who are Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgendered, Cross-dressers, and/or into a little or a lot of BDSM now and then.
I seem to remember reading in The Bible something about Jesus saying, "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone." I also remember reading something about, "Judge not. Lest thou not be judged."
If a wiccan/pagan lesbian like myself can remember these things from The Bible, then why can't the Bible-thumping moral majority, who I have it on very good authority are not truly the majority at all, just own up to being freaks. What are they so afraid of? Going to Hell? If they truly believed they would go to Hell for sinning, wouldn't getting a divorce be considered a sin? Think about it. When two people get married don't they swear to stay married. "for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do us part"? And I've got news for them, they are doing a very good job of creating Hell right here on earth.
So if all of the real freaks would get out and vote, then the world would be a much better place. November 12, 2008, let's have the freaky majority out voting. Let the Gays, Lesbians, Bi-sexuals, Crossdressers and BDSM freaks take over the world. You can start with your local elections and work your way up. Be a freak. Be proud, and get out and vote.
