Last weekend I watched a film that had won the Cannes Film Festival it is called Blue is the Warmest Colour...it was quite a long film at almost 3 hours but it was a pretty accurate portrayal of a lesbian relationship. There were a few very explicit sex scenes too with no holds barred as it were. I don't know if anyone feels the same but have you noticed the amount of gay stuff is going on openly in a major push to get us recognised and allow us more freedom in being able to carry on a 'normal' life.
With it being in the middle of Pride Season I have seen comments from straight people saying why should we hold Prides, why shouldn't there be Straight Pride
but I have to say that for straight people there is no need for them to try and get accepted as they already are accepted. You see straight couples making out, kissing, cuddling etc all the time, wherever you go, no one is disgusted, no one is complaining it is blatant and open in front of anyone and everyone, it's 'in your face' all the time.
Now, I ask you dear Reader, what if you were to see a gay couple male or female kissing and cuddling in the street, in a bar, in the park - would you feel offended? If you would please contact me as I would genuinely like to try to understand what it is about the whole situation that would cause offence and also would you likewise be equally offended if it were a mixed race couple, by that I mean a couple who were not of the same nationality, or indeed of different religions? What to you is acceptable in diversity and what is not and what is it that makes it so reprehensible that you would feel uncomfortable in the extreme??? Is it lack of education? Lack of tolerance? Lack of empathy? Lack of compassion for a fellow being? Or what???
I look forward to hearing from anyone who could teach me about emotions I feel are so alien to me, but I am always open to new learning.
Night all, sweet dreams xx
