Wow, Erich. I’m really glad you managed to overcome the awful oppression you experience here at Wes so that you could speak out and “represent a large number of straight and gay students.” It’s not everyday that I get to hear a straight male claim to represent large numbers of people and spout off about deviant sexuality. Except, that is, when I read a newspaper or turn on a television or, well, do just about anything. Your friends who aren’t straight must be glad to know that if they had “stressed their sexuality…[you] probably wouldn’t have become friends.”
Frankly, thinking back to freshmen year, straight guys could hardly do anything but stress their sexuality—going to frat parties and talking incessantly about what women they wanted to fuck. I don’t take issue with talking about sex, but if I want to talk, chalk or write a Wespeak about how I want a big cock up my ass then I sure as hell won’t stop for fear of making you feel awkward. The goal of social change is not your comfort.
When you see that “Wesleyan is a hotbed of dripping wet hot gay and lesbian fucking” are you ashamed and disgusted because people are willing to speak that truth openly? Can you deny that Wes is a hotbed of dripping wet queer fucking, rimming, sucking, licking and jerking? Was your goal to come to a school where this was not the case? If you don’t have a problem with it existing, then why the problem with people talking about it? Is straight sexual activity not ever-present on campus and broadcast across America daily?
You say that dialogue is key but are obviously uncomfortable with people being vocal about how they don’t conform to social norms of gender and sexuality. You claim understanding is your goal, but admit that you’re not “entirely sure what [we] hope to accomplish” and obviously have done very little to educate yourself. You seem to have the idea that if only people shut up about who and how they fuck and let standards of normalcy and respectability remain untouched then we’d all be one big happy family. Ha. Too many people for too long have done just that. So please accept my deepest apologies for not letting you dictate my politics. If other people want to sit around educating you and making sure you feel comfortable that’s their choice. This is mine.
