gay culture: visions of

I am definitely a heterosexual, who recently cured myself of homophobia and it was right after a long conversation with a couple of Irish gay guys in a pub (Irish, of course) over coffee and cigarettes. I have never been too anti, but before there had been some things always irritating me, that is this appearance, common among gay guys (not only, though), expressed in their gestures, walk etc., which me and my friends used to call briefly: fagness. And that Irish gay couple was evidently faggy. I think that thanks to that beer we were drinking together as well as that chitchat about everything (history of Ireland and Poland for example, also about gays) I got used to it and it no longer irritates me.

I’m not going to become a supporter or an activist of gay movements, of course. It makes me laugh when someone sometimes backs his artistic or intellectual mediocrity with his sexual orientation (and I know such persons), or something of which I once heard in TOK FM radio station and called gay culture. I think that sexual orientation is a private thing of every one of us. Of course in Poland it is not, it’s a taboo and the orientation other than heterosexual is a perversion and a sin.

I had a quite interesting day at the company today. Pleasant one, though. I have been doing my actual job for a few weeks now and until now I used to think about it only as a way of earning some money. Well, it is connected with my profession and it sure is well paid, but still I haven’t got much of satisfaction from it and I used to leave the office with a great relief and not feeling like coming back the next day or a few days later (it’s a part-time job, after all I still study). But today for the first time I’ve had a really great time at work.
