Yockey’s “since straight people flaunt their sexual orientation 24/7″ is a puzzle to me. I am soon turning 66 years old and I have yet to see/hear anyone “flaunting” their sexual orientation EXCEPT homosexuals. I am referring to those who grope each other in public, that sort of thing. For the most part, the homosexual couples I have known have not “flaunted” their relationship either! They just live their lives like other couples do. I don’t get what the heck she is talking about. I live near San Francisco and on December 10, the homosexuals in that fine city marched to a park NAKED with only a Santa hat on. Now THAT is flaunting!
When I meet someone new, the first thing out of his/her mouth is not “I am a heterosexual”. In fact, I have never had it come up in a conversation. Neither have I had a homosexual define themselves to me in that way. So just what is Ms. Yockey alluding to? Men dressed as men? Is that flaunting? Women wearing a bra? It is a ridiculous statement she makes and her whole argument that homosexuals in Congress, the Senate or in any other government position must “out” themselves is too.
Why must we define ourselves by our sexuality anyway? As others have commented here, the person elected to a government position is a representative of that person’s constituency. The person has promised the voters that if he/she is elected, he/she will represent their views on laws or resolutions brought for consideration. As a representative, he/she has a duty to keep the promises made in campaigning and represent THEM (the voters) not their own personal opinions. I would hope that for the most part that who we elect will already be in agreement with his/her voters.
I am disappointed to even read this rubbish today but I will say that it has sparked a great deal of commentary which may be a good thing. I disagree with her stand and I am very tired of homosexuals seeing everything through the homosexual lens.
