Something you should read

Dr. Sparky On Weight

 I read this post and I was incensed. 

I know what this feels like.  I grew up with it.  I went to college with it.  I became an adult with it.

It is horrible to think that we are all members of a gay community and this is how we treat one another.

Community my ass.  So many times these thin gymbots run around complaining how unfair life is and how they have been discriminated against.  Then they turn around and treat someone that has a little bit of weight on their bones like dirt.  And so while others get to go out and dance and have fun, those of us that are fat sit at home and spend time wondering what we are missing.   It’s crap.

You know that series Queer as Folk? Where was the fat character?  He was absent because none of them would have hung around with him.   They portrayed the gay community as all being thin and attractive and that is all it is supposed to be.  Making fun of the fat guy is fair game.  After all, we could control our eating.  We could go to the gym.  We choose not to.

Well, maybe some of us would rather spend our free time with a good book or watching a good movie.  How many gymbots do you know that don’t read?  Maybe I would rather spend time with someone that does, because at least I won’t have a one sided conversation, all of it being mine.

I am not trying to be bitter.  It just makes me mad.  We all deserve to be treated with dignity.  We all deserve to wear our gay colors and be accepted.  It is just a crying shame that we are not.  Just a crying shame.
