I'm not a religious person, but I am a spiritual person. I've been through all that so I won't go into it again.
This morning, I received a link from a blogger who wanted to write something about that "Last Supper" depiction that we heard about last week. I clicked the link and began reading without any regard to what I was about to see.
It was a photo essay that he'd done from the 2007 Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco.
Now, let me preface this by saying openly that homosexuality does NOT bother me. I could care less what people do in the privacy of their own homes. But what I saw in this photo essay that took place on the streets of San Francisco was wrong on so many levels that it made me cry. Literally, I did shed tears.
California seems to be breaking into a whole new group of social experiments with this one. And this opinion isn't influenced by anything but this photo essay being the culmination of tabloid rags, and news broadcasts from across the board.
I'll post the link if you ask, but I'm telling you the images are grossly explicit and homosexual in nature. There is blatant oral and anal sex, self copulation as well as group copulation, loads of nudity even aroused nudity all taking place at an event labeled as a "fair" on an open street in broad daylight.
Now, why did I bring religion and spirituality into it? Because the sex toys were religiously themed. There were vendors selling sex toys in the image of Jesus and crucifixes. Even public displays of how to use them. How come this is considered "tolerance"? Why does it seem that there's a double standard and that Christianity can be used in this manner and it's ok?
Several things came to mind with this. What does the California Penal code say about this kind of public display? How is this an expression of civil rights? How many federal laws were broken by this behavior?
And above all, why is it that we're supposed to digest this behavior when all it's meant to do is shock and disturb? Because that's what it is. It's not an expression of self-identity. This entire "fair" is just to cause gasps and hide behind the ruse of freedom.
