Gays need to stop trying to be scene, and start trying to be seen.

So it seems that for now the policy of don't ask don't tell will stand here in this great free nation of ours. This is sad news for the obvious reasons but any set back towards progress in me being seen as an equal is not appreciated. It's times like this that I get angry and I want to fight. I want to gather all my gay friends march down Congress and just overtake the capital. Rules and etiquet be damned! I'm tired of peaceful protests...people don't understand peaceful protests, they just think it makes you weak. I want us to go out and fuck shit up. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT...but of course I really don't. That's the problem. We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. And in reality how are we to blame society for not takign us seriously when we ourselves as a group don't take us that seriously. Too many gay men have become cartoon characters. They act like they think they are suppose to act, they are bitchy and caddy and shallow...they are sheep. I just don't get it. 32 people had status updates today about the new season of Glee...3 talked about the don't ask don't tell. I'm not saying you should at all feel ashamed for posting about Glee on your facebook page. I'm just saying more gays found that more important than a law that effects them directly. Why? I feel like we don't take things seriously enough at times. We all want to be equal but we treat ourselves as not equals. We hang out at gay clubs, and eat at gay friendly restaurants...when I think the opposite should be true. We need to become main stream. We need to invade the bars that are frequented by the breeders. Eat where they eat. Play where they play. Be where they....be. We need to stop seperating ourselves. We need stop trying to be scene, and start trying to bee seen. Parades and festivals are all fine and dandy. They are a great way to celebrate ourselves...but we need to start actually showing the real us to the world. Are gay men really just a group of tanned, toned, and greased up hot bodies? Isn't there more to life than trying to look pretty? We need to start inflitrating the enemy. We are a talented group of people. We are prelevant in fashion, movies, books, art, and music...these are all tools at our disposal to reach the masses, but we only use them to reach ourselves. When we make a gay movie we more often than not make it for gay men. Gay men need entertaining movies about themselves too, but we should be focusing on making movies about gay men for straight men. I think the television show Modern Family is a shining example of how to incorporate gay life without making ourselves seem like a joke. I want the next joke to not be the token black guy...but the token gay guy.
