I’ve changed my mind about supporting gay men in gaining any rights or status in our society. For the past couple of years I’ve noticed a disturbing trend of women being abused and oppressed and disrespected by gay men.
I’m seeing gay men attack women in the work place, attacking them verbally and leaving them in dangerous situations simply because they hate women and view them as competition for mates. This blasphemy is the absolute last thing that women need, to have gay men making their lives more difficult.
I’ve repeatedly witnessed gay men disrespect and mistreat women by making passes at husbands and boyfriends, directing hostility and open aggression towards women and turning normal outings into stressful and hurtful excursions. I can no longer support this minority because they’re harming women and in a world that is already openly hateful of females, this is catastrophic.
As gay men gain power and status it’s at the expense of women; without female support for gay rights, queer men would never gain acceptance and now they’ve betrayed the very group that has helped them up. After the vile behaviour I’ve seen consistently exhibited by gay men towards women, they can go back into their miserable closets.
Over the past several years I’ve experienced and listened to my friends recount one hostile encounter after another with gay men, the last straw was last week. A good friend wrote me and told me that she went to a book store with her boyfriend of five years and the two of them found themselves being swarmed by several gay guys who followed her boyfriend around and physically bumped her aside and out of the way; her boyfriend is a shy, quiet man who didn’t quite know how to react except to grab her get out of the book store. My friend said she felt reduced to a piece of expendable garbage and she felt attacked and unsafe; like being mugged in a New York back alley by a group of thugs.
I am disgusted and repulsed with gay men. This is one story in dozens like it and I think as a society and as women we may have made a mistake supporting gay men, I think these self-serving, self-worshiping misogynists manipulated females to get their own needs men and now their true colors are coming through. Now that they’ve gotten what they want from women, they’re throwing us away like a soiled rag.
A disturbing trend I’ve noticed is hostility in the work place from gay managers towards women; women are getting injured and their pleas for medical attention are ignored, male co-workers are sexually harassing women on the job and gay supervisors are ignoring and even encouraging the behaviour in order to remove women from the workplace entirely. There is a blatant absence of any caring towards the safety and well being of women and a flagrant apathy towards female existence itself; I find it reprehensible and vulgar that gay men are jealous of women because they mate with men and then behaving in a way that harasses, frightens and hurts women.
We’ve created a monster, another enemy and now he needs to be shoved back into the dark recess of his ugliness.
The main reason I used to support gay rights is because I wanted women protected from gay men who were closeted because they tend to abuse their wives and families; I wanted women to be safer in their domestic relationships. The unintended consequence is that women are LESS safe in the world and LESS respected by the very group we helped free.
I’m fully aware there are sweet gay men but, not enough and the vast majority are a menace to womanhood and consequently a danger to children and I will not stand for that and I will not support that for another minute.
