A collection of the most horrifying thoughts to ever be thought.
Eclectic Eccentrics is the collective works of a group of escaped mental patients whose varied personalities (some of them have multiple) brought them to the attention of enterprising circus mogel Petticus Mondue. Mondue, who lost most of his brain matter in a tragic spork incident, made our favorite Eccentrics into famous sideshow midget wrestlers. When the Midget Protection Act of 1997 thrust Petticus into bankruptcy and off of a high-rise building, the Eccentrics consequently established a band of roving minstrels known as “The Globetrotters”. Due to copyright infringement, this didn’t last long. After another short stint living behind a daycare feeding off of broken crayons and shattered dreams, they finally discovered the internet, where they live today, always watching for injustice. If there is a right that is wronged, they will be there. If there is trouble, they will be there. If the day needs to be saved, they will be there.
THEY ARE- THE ECLECTIC ECCENTRICS!
Yes, the same Eclectic Eccentrics from wordpress, just with a shinier coat and fruitier scent.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I don’t mean this in a literal sense, but I see the term “no homo” as a ridiculously stupid phrase that constructs and perpetuates a homophobic environment. I think that sad part about the fact that this phrase is so common (with males in particular) now is that it shows that people are afraid of being gay. They’re afraid of coming off as gay, feminine, or not masculine enough. It indicates insecurity. Not just with one’s sexuality, but with their public image. Not to say that this can all be blamed on the individual, we’ve been conditioned to behave like this since we were born.
If you can’t tell already, I’m fed up with our hypermasculine, gay-bashing society. As kids we’re all taught that in order to be a man, we have to play certain sports, like action figures, wear certain clothes, have sex with as many women as possible, only listen to certain music, this list can go on and on. Young boys’ role models are mostly large, muscular athletes, action stars and super heroes. When I was in elementary school, listening to the Backstreet Boys, N’Sync, Britney Spears, or other boy bands/female pop singers was taboo. You couldn’t do it if you were a guy, or else everyone would call you a girl, or a sissy. As a result, I grew to “hate” them all. I never even listened to them. In fact, it wasn’t until high school that I actually even heard some of their music. I hated them because that’s what I had to do in order to be a man. Thank goodness I (and most of my peers) outgrew that stage, but again, I see the same shit happening today, with Justin Bieber, The Jonas Brothers and Twilight to name a few. By no means do you have to like these things, but it’s stupid to unconditionally hate them.
If you’re straight, then you’re straight. If you’re gay, then you’re gay. If you’re a man or a woman, then that’s what you are (short of a sex-change operation), and nothing is going to change that.
NEWS FLASH: Noticing that a member of the same sex (a celebrity even) is attractive does not mean you are gay. It means that you have eyes, and an appreciation for beautiful people. For example, I find Joseph Gordon-Levit to be ridiculously cute, and people like Ryan Reynolds to be very attractive, but at the same time, I can confidently look you in the eye and tell you that I am a straight male with no intentions of “becoming” gay.
It’s hard for me to convey my exact feelings about this whole topic through a tumblr post, but I hope you get my gist. Stop being homophobic. Don’t be so insecure about yourself. Stop being so close-minded. Not to be cliche, but you are who you are, and that isn’t about to change.
And if you feel the need to point out to your friends that you’re not gay after every little thing that you say, I think it’s time to find some new friends.
