About a week ago, I posted
this at
queer_rage, and I told my sister about the incident and she asked me why is being gay or bi a big deal.
I tried to explain, not very well, since I did not manage to put my point across, why the need for queer visibility was needed and that a hetero-normative society was not a positive thing.
So now I would like to know, is gay/bi visibility
that important?
Why do we feel the need for advertising ourselves?
Is it for the "agenda", to make a statement?
Or are we (I) merely an attention whore?
I would like to believe that I am not doing this merely because I feel a need to put my self "out there" and that it does have a positive reason.
My sister, to whom I am able to listen to without putting forth the prickly defenses Mummy does, agrees that one shouldn't advertise ones self when it comes to sexuality , religion etc.
*scratches head* Some deep thinking ahead.
I'd like to know what you all think.
