grrrow. am all pissed off now. when zarah brought up the concept of "heterophobia," i was slightly uneasy... but she handled it well, putting it in its proper context. taken out of that context... argh! am feeling great rage... breathe... breathe...

most of rage is induced by this comment on the supposedly rampant problem of heterophobia among teens:
It is there, and it does need to be addressed. Despite all the "We've had it sooooo worse!" whining from the more vocal of the GLB community.

rrraaahhhh! whining? WHINING? is she actually trying to imply that in reality, it's just as hard to be straight? ooh. @#^&%(&*^&^%$&^%$!!!!! that's me - trying not to alienate people by calling them mean names. good thing no one can hear what i'm saying aloud. of all the stupid, fucking...

ok, breathe. wow. i just sorta thought my little circle of lj friends was somewhat safe from such blatant ignorance. nope. ok. but don't leave me hanging here! someone tell me you are as appalled as i am.
someone... please?

I am.

This was absolutely fucking not what I meant. Just, fuck.

Will leave a comment on the whole fucking issue in the morning. Defend myself, you know?

I WAS TALKING ABOUT HETEROPHOBIA IN SLASHDOM!!!

Gods. Is that really so hard to understand for some people?

Sorry. Forgive me for freaking out in your LJ. I'm just beyond pissed right now, and would comment already if it weren't for the fact that I'm not in the right state of mind to write a coherent reply.

Need. Sleep.

But. What. The. Fuck?

thank you. like i said, you put what you were saying well within context and spoke with clear logic referring to specific situations. it's too bad your words and thoughts were so distorted.
i look forward to reading your comments tomorrow...

am kind of glad this happened though (not that i usually enjoy an on-line shouting match), clearly some people out there need to hear all this.

Oy! Hot naked men all over each other! Just gotta love soccer. But, anyway.

I'm much calmer now, so don't expect a shouting match. Although I don't agree with Gemmi - and am going to tell her so in a minute - she doesn't belittle certain things. Like the fact that yes, homosexuals do have it worse in our world.

So, it's not really Gemmi (Sam?) I'm pissed at. It's mostly this daznsoething and his/her claim that homosexuals are whiners. Excuse me?
