This is fucking disgusting

Last Wednesday, I had a date with Chris. We got on the Night Bus, heading for her place in Camden Town, climbed upstairs and took the front seats. We must have kissed or something because these guys came after us. I don’t remember if they were already there or if they got on after us. There were at least four of them. They started behaving like hooligans, demanding that we kissed so they could enjoy watching, calling us ‘lesbians’ and describing sexual positions. I don’t remember the whole episode, but the word "scissors" stuck in my mind. It was only them and us there. In an attempt to calm things down, I started making jokes. I thought this might make them go away. Chris even pretended she was sick, but they kept on harassing us, throwing us coins and becoming more enthusiastic about it. The next thing I know is that Chris is in the middle of the bus fighting with them. On an impulse, I went over there only to find her face bleeding and three of them beating her up. The next thing I know is I'm being punched. I got dizzy at the sight of my blood and fell back. I don’t remember whether or not I lost consciousness. Suddenly the bus had stopped, the police were there and I was bleeding all over. Our stuff was stolen as well. I don’t know yet if my nose is broken, and I haven’t been able to go back to work, but what upsets me the most is that VIOLENCE HAS BECOME A COMMON THING, that sometimes it’s necessary to see a woman bleeding after having been punched to feel some kind of impact. I’m tired of being taken as a SEXUAL OBJECT, of finding out that these situations are usual, of gay friends who were beaten up JUST BECAUSE. We have to endure verbal harassment AND CHAUVINIST, MISOGYNISTIC AND HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE because when you stand up for yourself shit like this happens. By the way, I am thankful to all the women and men in my life that understand that HAVING BALLS MEANS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I just hope that in June, Pride Month, stuff like this can be spoken out loudly so they STOP HAPPENING!

I’m so tired of hearing that LGBT themes are not fit for kids. Where in hell is it that you people take the notion that love, identity, respect and equality are adult themes, someway dirty and shameful? Maybe is your idea of love and identity that is dirty and shameful. Maybe you are ashamed of what you are and what you do and you can’t avoid transferring those feelings on the rest of the world. But when we talk about gay people or about transgender rights or queer representation, we are not talking about kinky sex and prostitution. That’s where YOUR mind instinctively goes. Kids don’t do that. Stop over imposing your shame on others.

What is NOT about

SO many things popping out of my brain. In italian. I'm doing my best to translate them because I really need to SHOUT.

So tell me, do you really think this is about finding who's right about them? If they're lovers or not? This cockles thing.

You're SO far.

Non sei capace di poter fare questo sacrificio per le persone che ami Matteo, perché non sei in grado di prenderti questa cazzo di responsabilità. Adesso tu vai lì e ciucci quel cazzo.                                                                                                     The Pills - Omophobia

Hozier - Take Me To Church

È da giorni che mi capita di sentire in radio questa canzone e mi è piaciuta sin dal primo ascolto. Ho fatto un po’ di ricerche e l’ho trovata. Sembra stia avendo un grandissimo successo. Ho letto che è la metafora della fine di un amore, come spiega il cantautore stesso:

"Ho trovato l’esperienza di innamorarsi o essere innamorati simile ad una morte, la morte di tutto. Ti guardi mentre muori in un modo meraviglioso, e sperimenti per un momento brevissimo -se ti guardi per un momento attraverso i loro occhi- che tutto ciò che pensavi di te se ne va. In un senso di morte e resurrezione."

Ma è il video a commuovere perché rappresenta una storia d’amore impossibile tra due uomini e quindi il tema dell’omofobia, estremizzando la metafora religiosa.

'We were born sick,' you heard them say it

My Church offers no absolutes. She tells me, ‘Worship in the bedroom.’ The only heaven I’ll be sent to Is when I’m alone with you—

I was born sick, But I love it Command me to be well Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
