Bravo, gents. Bravo. You sure showed that self-assured eighteen-year-old a thing or two. Who does he think he is, anyway? Flaunting his highlights when it's understood only natural roots are rewarded. He knew the risks. He knew there was no tolerance for the Gay and yet he chose to pursue his Eagle Scout award in spite of your caveman mentality. The nerve of some people.
But you, BSOA, you've got the nerve of an 80's movie Russian terrorist! I pity the fool who refuses to acknowledge you are one tough nut. You never sweat, never break rank, never give in, and, most impressively, you bitch-slap motherfuckers back down to size when they least
Pardon my French. I'm sure it's against the sash to use such colorful language. I'm excitable; I can't help it. You just don't know how much it thrills me to watch a group of adults nana nana boo boo the fuck out of a teenager. Fred Phelps couldn't do it better. Actually, he could. He could make signs, "reason" gay Eagle Scouts are why American soldiers are dying in Afghanistan.
Come to think of it, you might want to step it up a bit.
I'm sure the world rests easy knowing there's a group of adults out there who never shy away from putting a teenager in his gay place.
From one adult to another, go stick your head in doo doo.
Gaily yours,

ReplyDeleteNicely said. I was just having a similar discussion with some co-workers of mine about how as teachers we try to hold kids to a behavior expectation that we ourselves never seem to meet. My point, do we just make rules so we can watch people fail? Do we make rules so we as adults can merely say"because I said so"? Or is it just power trip we have been aching to be on since we were teenagers and felt like adults did to us? It all seems like a bit of wasted time and energy and in the meantime we are making sure the next generation feels nice and oppressed and we make sure there is no way they can feel successful or possibly have a good self esteem. We should feel proud though, as we "adults" are making sure we step on another individual and crush some dreams that would never come true anyway,we have finally accomplished feeling like a the big guy. But we aren't bullies, just doing what's right...
Hah, Lisa! You're one of my favorite long time fans.
ReplyDeleteWell said! Some adults strike me as children with credit cards and mortgages. Nothing really changes all that much sometimes.
