I realized after watching the outstanding movie MILK, that I have some persistent frustrations with the superfluous and blatant abuse of the symbolic power of the word "moral."
Number one issue: How dare anyone take it upon themselves to assume judicial power over the legitimacy of what "morality" is supposed to look like in our society.
Number two: How dare anyone assume their religious affiliations are the determining factor in what "morality" is.
Number three: How dare anyone assume that gay people have no idea of what "morality" is.
Number four: How dare any self proclaimed "religious" people assume that gays just don't have any sense of spirituality. How dare prejudiced people assume that homosexuality has to do with a lack of spirituality. How dare any such person assume that we are not legitimately spiritual and as active in our quest to be compassionate and spiritual beings as anyone else. Spirituality is not "owned" nor propagated by a few wholesome and holier than thou straight folks. There are innumerable gay people who live in the quiet depths of their own spirituality and live in this place with high regard and a sense of sacredness.
No one can take ownership of what "morality" means. Some of us trace the traditions of morality back to our roots. I have a deep felt conviction in following my moral principles. When a person says, "Being gay is immoral," I react hardcore because I have an ethics that I bow down to every day in total humility.
I'd say to those that have no respect for gays that your morality is a careless thing, it's an indoctrination of something that has nothing to do with the legitimacy of morality. Morality has to do with a depth that you would never understand because one cannot ever describe the true nature of morality with the petty structure and simplicity of words nor the politics of your petty combative religions. How dare any people regardless of faith, legitimatize your insecurities and narrow mindedness through your transparently cruel and superficial ownership of "morality."
This is that and so are you.
