With people coming out of the closet in the recent past, it finally gave me something to write about. Well, Binyavanga is not the first gay i know. I don't know many gay guys either but I have seen my fair share especially at clubs Envy and iClub both in town. I don't have a gay friend and that said, i am not a homophob either. Fact is, i am indifferent which brings me to my point today of who really cares what your sexual orientation or preference is? I DON'T.....
Well, not unless you are trying to hit on me. I am straight, i am attracted to the opposite sex seeing that i am female, i like males. It just comes natural and i wonder if the world would be interested in a story of how straight I am. I f not, why does Binyavanga think we are in the least bit interested in his personal life? My two cents, he should just stick to writing books, I hear he is quite the literary fellow. I haven't read any of his books yet but guess what now i am curious. Which gets me to think whether or not this is what he was aiming for with his public 'coming out'.
I am irked more so by how the media embraced this shenanigans and gave it the time of day even gracing him with an appearance on tv to just tell us about his orientation. I don't get it, why do we care? People chose who to love, some are straight, lesbians, gay and others bisexual but that doesn't really call for you to announce to the whole world. It is different we all know, and we should just accept it in hush tones and move on. I am feeling for the future generation and what they must think now? Oh, it is normal...
It is not easy, it was in fact really ballsy of him but wasn't it enough for him to know and love his preference instead of letting us all in on his little secret? Anyhow, i know i am treading a thin line here, but my point is we all can come out of the closet but we don't. We know our preferences, we love and enjoy them privately and you should do the same! Keep your private life private...
I am out, promise to come back more often...
Peace! X
