Kelly Clarkson on Gay Rumors: ‘Never Insulted by It’

regarding "religious" people who say that homosexuality is wrong:

as the webmaster of the cynical and satirical e-zine known as iwww.***got.me, i have little tolerance for anyone who says that homosexuality is wrong and then brings up the bible and leviticus. we've heard it all before, god says that homosexuality is wrong - but people who hate homosexuality because of the bible must be such a bunch of joiners who rely on the outside world for opinions. they probably think that muslims weren't responsible for 9/11 and that it was george bush who planned it. i can't imagine the lives that these people lead if they are apt to hate homosexuality because of something the bible says! to quote a limp-wristed maitre'd in ferris bueller's day off: "i weep for the future". i weep for the future when people can't make up their own minds about homosexuality. i weep because they don't even take into consideration what it takes to find security, fulfillment and something excitably taboo in a member of one's own gender. talking about a sense of completion, it should be the biggest insult for anyone not to feel complete without the presence of a member of their own gender acting as a psychological crutch for their sexually-dysfunctional existences. any man who utters the words "i need a man" is a masculivoid whose sense of masculine self-esteem is as "little bitty pissant" as the country place featured in "the best little whorehouse in texas".

sure, gays are heard preaching self-love 24/7. i'm sure that the people who get their disrespect of homosexuality from outside sources (such as the bible) are apt to buy into gays' self-esteem and pride when the little queer exhibitionists are out trying to justify their self-love in "gay pride parades" from coast to coast, but it's only a front. a show. gay people are trying to sell their pride to the outside because they have no pride inside themselves, which is evidenced by their "little bitty pissant" states of minds and/or gender-identities which are half-baked enough to get a sense of completion from someone acting as "the real thing" in their lives. what makes a man date another man, surely not a strong sense of masculine sufficience.

i have no respect AT ALL for people who hate homosexuality because of what the bible says. what a bunch of mind-numb robots, "god commanded me to hate homosexuality, i must obey" - people who say this are like people who think that god is responsible for the gender they're sexually attracted to. i think there was a song called "going through the motions," i bring this up because that's exactly what people are doing - they're living life "going through the motions" and they're not thinking about the reasons why they are. what kind of robotic life is lived by bible-thumping and anti-gay people who think they were born straight? don't they have any justification or reasons for being anti-gay or for being psyched by a specific gender? i do, i've always known the reasons for my actions.

i grew up a skinny little wimp who did not excel at or play sports. i was picked last for teams in gym class, my sense of masculine esteem was damaged to see most boys being picked first and most girls being picked after them. i was always picked last because i was not as good as the boys. i wanted to be a real boy, kind of like peter pan, but situations like gym class told me that i was not. the real boys were picked before the girls, but i was picked last. like a remnant.

i had absolutely no armpit-hair until i was 16 or 17, even then it came in slowly. as early as 4th or 5th grade, i saw how i was lesser than the other shirtless boys in the locker-room who had a good bit of armpit-hair. every day in the locker-room would damage my masculine esteem, every day for 7 or 8 years. i don't have time (or respect) for anyone who tells me that i am attracted to men because of a fabled "gay gene," just like i no respect for anyone who tells me that i should not respect homosexuality out of respect for the bible. i don't need a bible to give me permission to spit on homosexuality, i have my own experiences and most of all i have common sense.

"if you're not all the man you need, good luck filling anyone else's void"
