RE: Ryan's Statement Regarding My Earlier R. Kelly/Sanctity of Marriage Post

RYAN SAYS: "R. Kelly isn't furthering any heterosexual agenda, my friend. In fact, he's doing a good job of messing it up. I understand the resentment from the GLBT community regarding the marriage issue, but you need to step back and realize that R. Kelly has nothing to do with gay marriage rights, equal employment protection or anti-bullying laws. He's simply a dumbass who likes to screw kids. Pointing out the obviousness of his sexuality and preferences serves the gay community no purpose (partly because R. Kelly's not married anymore). Frustrations aside, as much as 95% of the general population are heterosexual and in order to get your agenda recognized as a priority, calling us breeders as derogatory slang and pointing out our flaws will only make you appear radical in the eyes of the middle (who you need to convince). Write about the good. Write about your hopes and aspirations. Don't write non-relevant hate speech and wonder why no one listens.

MY RESPONSE: First, I'm not crying over here in my post toasties wondering why no one listens. The hate speech comes in moments of frustration and generally those offended by it give some high and mighty speech about how they don't think treating others the way that they have treated you is the way to go inorder to solve an issue. I would agree with them, but at the same time I find it interesting that when the chance to pay back black people comes in the form of affirmative action people all of a sudden have issues with the use of preferential treatment in regards to hiring and promotion in the workplace. I find it interesting that when a heterosexual realizes they are spoken badly of and labeled with derogatory slang terms to describe them that all of a sudden slang terms are a problem, yet they use them on the daily until it affects them directly. People hate tasting their own medicine so I figure if I let them taste it they may see what minority communities have dealt with for years, and perhaps if they have to deal with it even half as much as minorities do they will think twice before doing it or allowing others to do it around them. As far as Mr. Kelly goes you are right in that he furthers no agenda other than his own, but my point is that when heterosexuals protest and vote against measures that would give homosexuals more equal rights they use arguments about protecting the family and the sanctity of marriage when it is clear they really don't care about that or they would be protesting guys like this one instead of ignoring him and/or sending their kids off to his concerts as well as attending themselves and buying his albums. So you see the point was not not to say that Mr. Kelly is helping any agenda against equality, but that he is doing the opposite yet without the same opposition that we as homosexuals receive on a daily basis. With regards to your statement about Mr. Kelly not being married you are right, but the reason for that is because he failed to protect children, family and the sanctity of his own marriage by sleeping with a child. With regards to your claim that 95% of the population is heterosexual I will simply say that you may want to seek out some actual statistics as opposed to guestimates before stating numbers. Census reports are a good place to start though they do not consider the entire population so it is not completely accurate.
