The Gay Agenda

It’s not a thing

 
I know you think it’s a thing but it’s not
 
Before I get into this let me lay down some definitions because words means things.
 
Agenda - the underlying intentions or motives of a particular person or group.
 
Propaganda - information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view
 
I know some of you think there’s some sinister system out here plotting to force the gay upon you, making you complacent and turning the youth into homosexuals. Besides the fact that is just dumb as fuck to believe you can simply subliminally suggest sexuality to a person and they’d switch over. What’s the end game? Making everyone gay and stopping over population because gays can't make babies? I mean Bert and Ernie have been gay right under your noses since 1969 and how many times have you had rubber duckie bath time with your adult same sex friend? (Side note Bugs Bunny is bi because he was kissing men in the mouth and Pepé Le Pew is a rapist.) Now if you got turned gay by something you saw on TV I want to hear your story. Seriously if you were perfectly heterosexual out here living your best life and now you’re gay married because of this agenda hit my line because I clearly have this shit all wrong and I owe you an apology.
 
I made a joke a few weeks back about Taco Bell’s nacho fries, ok it was less of a joke and more of a confession dressed up as a joke. The gist of it was I feel like Taco Bell has a propaganda campaign and it’s targeting me; trying to get me to eat nacho fries and I think it’s working. I still haven’t caved to my desire to eat them but that’s neither here nor there. I’m going to eat them though; maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it’s going to happen. I honestly don’t know how long I can keep Taco Bell at bay.
 
I got off track.
 
Let me bring it back around.
 
Gay people exist. They’ve at least existed my entire life time. When I was in elementary school at recess I played basketball, tag and football with the fellas. Only thing was only 99% of the fellas were involved in these schoolyard games. It was a handful of little boys jumping double-dutch with girls. In 1988 on the playground of Eugene Meyer Elementary School these little boys already knew who they were. Every single one of those guys stayed on that path. They were gay (or maybe pre-gay) in 88 and they are gay in 2018. Maybe Bugs Bunny got to them. I wonder where our parents were when Bugs Bunny was kissing Elmer Fudd in the mouth. It’s crazy that so many of us sat Indian style watching Saturday morning cartoons eating a bowl of cereal and not only did we grow up to be heterosexual it seems many of us grew up to be homophobic. Come to think of if many young minds were presented with plenty of questionable animation like Ren and Stimpy.
 
We good on all that right?
 
Ok let’s move on to the next thing
 
The black/gay thing is a terrible analogy but that’s all my brain is giving me right and I know it’s going to be some kick back because some people feel like gay is choice. You know like your cousin Tyrone that did 15 years in the state penitentiary and came home with a boyfriend and lisp.
 
Now I know being gay and being black aren’t the same thing but bear with me.
 
Just imagine if you weren’t black. (If you aren’t black it will be way easier to imagine after all you probably never got stopped for driving while black.) I know it’s hard because you love being black. It’s so much pride associated with being black. You’re going to say it loud every chance you get and let the world know you’re black and you’re proud. And with all that pride you want to be represented on TV, in the movies, in politics and all the other facets of life. Pretty much whatever set you claim you want representation and you want people in power positions looking out for your best interest. That's a simple enough explanation right?

But...
 
It’s crazy now it’s this loud beating drum blaring on about the attack on masculinity and traditional family values like we didn’t enjoy Mrs. Doubtfire, White Girls, and Big Mama’s House. It's very strange to be so opposed to something that doesn't effect you at all outside of saying "I don't like that gay shit". Nobody is forcing men into dresses. I promise you. These dudes running around throwing on wigs for the sake of going viral and laughs in these social media video skits aren’t be coerced into it. Wasn’t it hilarious when Terry Crews was trying to rape Katt Williams at the Christmas party in Friday After Next?  Didn’t we make Tyler Perry a millionaire because he reprised Larry Johnson’s “Grandmama” character sans a basketball? Weren’t we here for Bernie Mac and Miguel A. Núñez Jr.’s gay prison marriage in Life? I can’t recall all the outrage or the negative influence on the youth when Ving Rhames was playing a drag queen in Holiday Heart.
 
At the end of day you can always change the channel if you see something that doesn’t move you. (I do it ever time I see a rerun of Martin, but I've yet to start a petition to get it removed from syndication.) If something pops up on your timeline you can always logoff. Nothing is being forced upon because you have the option to tune it out. Until you’re forced to watch a gay couple make out in your livingroom at gun point I don’t see how anything is being pushed on you. Unless of course you’re highly suggestable to the “gay agenda” then your lifestyle is at risk and you should absolutely be up in arms about it.
 
There isn’t a gay agenda it’s just people that don’t know how to look away from things they don’t want to see

Dating As a Thug Can Be Stressful

Let me get this out of the way right quick. It was a time in life where I might have fallen under the thug label. A woman I once dated often referred to me as “thug life”. Now my interpretation of a thug and what was deem a thug by the general consensus varied greatly. I mean I’ve done a few things here and there but I wasn’t exactly fit to be an extra in HBO’s The Wire. I felt that holding a job consistently and my car wasn’t in my momma’s name at the very least should have pushed me out of the thug category. It didn’t.

 
Now being a thug, or at minimum, being viewed as a thug has some added pressures and requirements over being viewed as a square. Let’s get into it.
 
Drugs
Being a thug means having drugs on demand for her and her friends. You instantly become the plug for tree, molly, lean or whatever she might be into. You might not even sell drugs but you know somebody with it at all times on speed dial. She also doesn’t expect to pay because you’ve been receiving consistent pussi payments so you’ve already been paid. Which can be costly because drugs aren’t free.
 
The connect on all things illegal
Seriously all things illegal.
Getting the boot off your car because of all your unpaid parking tickets? It can be done.
Illegal cable? Yep
Jail broken Amazon Fire stick? Sure
Half off food stamps? Absolutely
Guns? You bet
Crack heads that steal stuff from Target, CVS and Macy’s? Hell yeah
Pretty much anything shady and underhanded you are the direct connection to the black market and the underworld. The pressure is real.
 
Random acts of violence on demand
She may have never seen you step on a grape during a food fight but you automatically become the enforcer, the muscle, the shooter or whatever the kids are calling it these days. She’ll go from law abiding citizen square chick to the girlfriend of gangster and will let it be known. “Oh my baby crazy he doesn’t play.” And she just waiting for her moment to take off your choke collar and let you loose on her foes. If somebody is broke into her car, on the other side of town in the dead of night, the first call is coming to you. Yes; you not the cops or her insurance company. It’s time to pull up with your goons and track down whoever this to her car and make them pay. There’s a guy at her job that gets on her nerves so you or somebody you know needs to beat him up.
 
Encyclopedia Britannica: The Underworld Edition
Every crime, every criminal, you know who did it, why and for how much. For all hood lingo you are the ghetto Rosetta stone. She just finished listening to that Lil Baby mixtape and he use some terms she’s not familiar with then you need to be defining them. That’s just one of things you’re supposed to know at all times along with the going price of a kilo, why is mid still selling, where’s the closest chop shop and who is her favorite celebs personal drug dealer.
 
It ain’t easy being a thug
