Gay blog

by Wianek

This post was written by my friend Wianek (I only translated it), who will probably become the co-author of this blog.

Actually, I just wanted to comment on the previous post, but my thoughts had grown so much that I decided to pay the duty I promised when I was drunk and write a coherent text, even if it’s only a long comment.

A gay is a human like everyone else and I don’t care what he’s doing in his bedroom. Nice, isn’t it? Internet fora are full of similar statements. It’s even trendy to have such modern opinions. But I do care. I’ve been raised in a conviction that Romeo fucked Juliet, Tristan fucked Iseult and Petrarca wrote his poems to Laura, not to, let’s say, John. I have this problem that I’m just not able to put another Romeo in place of Juliet and I think I’m not the only one. All these attempts to show a couple of perfect gays in a way invented by heterosexual majority (vide Brokeback Mountain) just make me laugh. There’s no male Juliet, Iseult or Laura.

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.
