» Fauxgress Watch: “Born This Way” Social Justice League
We don’t need to justify ourselves to anyone. We don’t need a reason to be queer. Maybe we were born this way, maybe we weren’t. Maybe sexuality is fluid for some people and not for others. It’s totally irrelevant either way. The message we need to send to heterosexists is not that our sexuality was foisted upon us and that they should be “tolerant” and “understanding”. The message is: our sexuality is perfectly valid and none of your business, we offer you no excuses, and we are never going away.
YES!!! This is totally what I was saying just the other day in a conversation about this very thing. The “born this way” argument does not actually help the cause or validate someone’s choices. This blog post is awesome.
