I have always loathed the “ganging up” sequence of humans, especially sheeply humans.

I was astounded when I heard today that a law was about to be passed that would jail homosexuals based on their “doubtful” appearances. Of course at first I simply ignored it as another fad, spread around to inspire and liven up people’s conversational habits. The usual arguments of the abominations of God, and how God would not create such imperfect creatures, abnormalities, children being affected bla bla. The usual banter, which regardless of how senseless it is to me, is understandable coming from people who don’t know better.

I don’t believe in God, I don’t believe in a creator, I use the term “god” loosely and the phrase “Oh my god” for a purely dramatic effect. So, naturally, I wanted to explode in response at how absurd their arguments were. I would have asked them politely to take away religion for a second and focus on human nature. But of course, how could I? Being ganged up on by two others, I managed to hold my ground by only placing myself on a higher plane within the same cloud. Basically, I just became a more intelligent form of “them”, the leading sheep, basically. It was a struggle, definitely, being ganged up by the illusionary entity of God, of course, and the Koran, and the Prophet’s sayings, and his disciples’ actions. It was a ridiculous battle that I should have avoided, because honestly, it was draining. I didn’t exactly win the argument, I was tempted to say “fuck God, focus!” on numerous occasions, but I held my tongue –”Thank God.” I managed to leave the argument with a hint of; “Is he gay?” question in the air and; “Why does he care so much?” question, of course. And my face, it lies betrayed, no matter how I try, I can’t hide a secret. I could feel their eyes piercing through me, only though the slits of my eyes though, as if they knew my secret. But, it’s hard to say if they did or not.

I used the following arguments. Sanctioning human activities will of course lead to an explosive retaliation on their part, and severer sanctions on the government’s, which will eventually lead to their downfall. It is a violation of human rights to fucking persecute a person based solely on appearance and disregard whether offensive action was taken by that person. I honestly do not lean towards the homosexual style here in Kuwait, it disgusts me quite frankly. But I don’t want to jail them; maybe give them some fashion tips, though.

What benefits would such actions from the government bring? Perhaps a few cowardly ones will submit to the heterosexual movement, through intense self-therapeutic activities, or if they decide to pursue a life of servitude to God. Otherwise, they will continue to flourish.

Given the social nature of this country, and the insanely rapid spread of gossip, if a homosexual were to be captured, his entire family would be implicated. What’s the use of causing so much suffering?

The fact is homosexuality is banned in this god-forsaken shit-hole. Homosexuals are jailed if caught in the act. Another fact is that homosexuality is part of nature; its occurrence is evidenced in all species. Furthermore, homosexuality makes sense, because to put it simply (because I am tired from work and can barely articulate), homosexuality is the consequence of heterosexuality. I wish they would just understand that.
