F*ck You Very Much!

I was scanning a blog about the issue with the Ladlad Party getting disqualified by the Comelec when I incidentally read a comment by one of the blog followers dedicating a song to a popular columnist. Caught by its intriguing title, I clicked the link. Then I just found myself laughing all through the entire video. For the first time in mylife, I screamed with my lungs, heart, liver, esophagus, and all the other internal organs of my body out the phrase "FUCK YOU!!!" And to my surprise, I felt better.

The song speaks about the cruelty and meanness of the society to gay people. I'm never one to spend time stressing my brain out to think how unfair society is to us homosexuals. It crossed my mind a couple of times, but I never really dwell on it. Because I always believe that straight or gay, people will always say things against you. So we basically don't have to prove ourselves to anyone. I thought I was okay with it.

Until now.

Not until this funny, catchy, song released all the grudges I unconsciously hold with the bigoted views of our society. Why can't gay people wear tubes and skirts without hearing cat calls? Why can't gay people express their thoughts without being misjudge? Why can't gay people be married? Why can't gay people be themselves and be respected just the way they are? It's really bothering to hear somebody, professional and educated, said that gays should be happy society tolerates them. Such a fart. A typical bigot.

It felt good to shout those phrase. "FUCK YOU!!!" But after a couple of glass breaking screams, I regained my composure and got my centerness back.

Listening with the song did not only released some hard feelings, but also feelings of gratitude. I am so happy and grateful that I can accept my self the way I am and that I have people who respect me. While most gays struggle to fight for the acceptance and rights of our fellow pink-blooded creatures, I am here in the comfort of my clothes just enjoying the company of the red-blooded creatures I am with. I realized how lucky am I to be in a circle of people where sexuality is not an issue, to be with friends who know I am gay but do consider me normally-no rejections, no special treatments-just plain love and acceptance.

Yes, society is unfair, and I believe it will always be. I would still encounter situations where straight guys bully me for being gay. I would still brush with girls who think I am no beautiful compare to them. And there would still be chances where even some fellow gays will try to put me down. But thanks to my straight guy friends who are always cool with having me around, to my girl friends who always remind me how beautiful am I inside and outside, and to my gay buds who always support me with all my undertakings, I no longer have to go out on the streets and rally for my rights.

To my straight guy and girl friends, thanks for your love, respect, and acceptance.

To my fellow homosexuals whose courage and prowess beat the odds, continue the fight. I will always be here to support you. Just remember one thing. Be yourself. Be whatever it is that you want to be, regardless of what other people think. Be the best that you can be. Love and respect the way you are. And let the beautiful and magnificent you shines through. 'Coz you, yourself, is a wonderful creation made to perfection.

And as to some small brained, pathetic chauvinists, with twisted principles, I got two words for you...


FUCK YOU!

peace! ;)
