E-missives to Angela (cont'd)
Ezekiel J. Krahlin
spiritual-evolutionary scale here in soiled old,
downtrodden hollow shell of a former San Francisco
(was it a dream after all?) called "Gay Mecca". Al I
can say is: The Sleeping Giant has awakened, and
his heart stirs the people of San Francisco; though
most remain clueless on the conscious level..but not
all! I am honored to dispense the latest distilled wisdom
given to me by my beloved Guardian Angel Randolph:
unto my heart and unto my hand. Enjoy my latest 2
missives to one "Angela22":

Sorry to see you collapse over such a light
feather...but that does happen often.

Gays are against me? Nah...just some. Every
activist for any minority experiences hatred from
some of his or her own people. To interpret that
"homo's" are against me, is quite an exaggeration.
I am wrestling with the urban jaded society of San
Francisco, which includes numerous sexual
minorities. That is not quite the same as being
"against me". Just as a black activist has to
confront his own drug-dealing brothers who would
be his (or her) enemy. No surprise there. Yet I
wouldn't see such an activist being attacked by
ALL blacks.

You're welcome! It is too bad that your hetero
arrogance gets in the way...but you have gone
further than most, Angela! I suggest you just take
a few days break to absorb it all. You are shocked
to accept the tAngela of my statements...yes, it's
quite a blow to hetero supremacy, which residual
dogma apparantly lingers on in your own soul.
But you have come to understand so quickly, I
figured you'd be ready for the next step: my
honest opinions without ever offending you as a
person, Angela...you chose to interpret my
response as a personal affront.

Thanks, Angela! Sometimes one must go to war, as
there may no longer be peaceful options. Many Jews
believed even up to the last moment, that Nazis
could be reasoned with, and turn hate into peace.
You know the rest of the story. I intend to not
make this mistake for queers this time: we MUST be
aggressive NOW, if we hope to stop the next
holocaust from fulfilling its ugly self as a
result of centuries of anti-gay persecution.
Your interpretation of a vicious cycle being the
result of my clear thinking on what homophobia's
all about, is rather simplistic. But since you are
in shock, I'm sure you'll make the fair
correction.
I tried to explain to you my strategy, but you put
up that ol' hetero wall.
> If all you want is the power over homo's,
Yeah, well, "homo" is not a friendly word for a
straight to use on a gay. So your slip of
prejudice is showing, my dear.
Be that as it may, the "power" I want...and
have...is influence to inspire sexual minorities
to win our freedom. And it's happening, big
time...after all my years of dedication,
struggles, and risks.
> then why all this crap about misunderstanding?
Well, you have generated some of it...and I have
merely pointed this out. You care not to recognize
that you sometimes still tend to coerce me into a
heterocentric way of thinking.
> I intend to reamain friendly but this is way
> past my knowledge. I bow out.
Sure, I hope so. But a "friend" is not how I see
you, after reading your reply. An acquaintance,
yes...but I see no point in supporting you so much
with the building's problems, when you persist
with opinions that are ill-formed and not
respectful of my years of knowledge as a gay
person, activist, and counselor.
You take personally my criticisms of
heterocentrism, when they were not meant that way.
Though I can afford neither the time nor energy in
educating one single person...as that would
sabotage my activist progress.
And I'm sure that's not at all why you were sent
to me, to this building, right?
I look forward to resuming our friendship in the
near future...you just need to realize that I am
right on target with the gay issue. You CANNOT be
the last word on this matter, as a hetero, and not
just that, but one who has only BEGUN to look into
the gay issue. I resepected you because you really
worked overtime to understand my philosophy.
So you fell back, I'm sure you stand up again real
soon, Angela. But really, you can't get away with
certain unkind comments; I will always point them
out, it's my job. You wouldn't need to apologize
so much, if you'd slow down with wanting to form
final opinions so fast. I've been at the gay issue
since 1971.
And we live in a severely heterocentric world...so
don't tell me what it's like to be straight...it's
all over TV, radio, Internet, billboards, stores,
homes...it's like a psychic plague. What happened
to this nation's promise to protect minorities
from the tyranny of majorities? Oh, I get it:
faggots don't count.
Ho-hum. Back to work. I don't have enemies; just
way seriously dysfunctional puds!
C'mon, Angela, take your medicine like a
woman...accede to my viewpoints on the sexual
minority issue...all str8s should...just as all
whites should to blacks, if they want to
understand better, and maybe actually help.
But even when we get back together (again), this
time you must wear a pink triangle when with me in
public.
Have a very pleasant evening. I do not consider
our clash anywhere near the par of my other one
tonight, with Carl. He's truly wicked (like
Clint). You are most certainly not. What you don't
seem to realize is that you buddy up with me, you
buddy up with THE MOST OUTSPOKEN PRO-QUEER
ACTIVIST PRESENTLY LIVING ON THIS PLANET.
That, plus the fact you are living in the most
vital pro-gay city in the world...what do you
expect? Anything less than 100% pro-queer would be
a sellout to our troops. They look to me for
guidance and inspiration. I could NEVER fail that
trust!
So you can always hang out with other gays who are
heterocentric in attitude for the most part
(except when it comes to conjugal matters)...and
any other non-political, non-aware gay you want.
They're not my kind of people, however.
You, however, don't fool me for a moment. I have
no doubts that you'll pull through your mistaken
notions like gangbuster's, once you've gotten some
time away to exercise your new wings. I have no
doubt that you'll soon enough turn out to become
one of the most gay-friendly and dedicated
auxiliary-troop soldiers that ever will exist!

Angela, you send me interesting material from
conspiracy, UFO, and other alternative topics,
including the gay issue. But I suspect that when I
send YOU gay-relevant articles, they don't go
beyond your hard drive. So tell me: have you
shared some of my messages, even one, to any such
groups?
This is yet another example of how subtle anti-gay
attitudes remain even in many liberals (including
too many gays). For, what is anyone's problem with
sharing gay-political stuff along with other
liberal and radical minority issues?
I'm sure that if I dealt with the ecology, or
children, as political issues, you wouldn't
hesitate forwarding any article on THOSE issues,
eh? And you certainly have NO EXCUSE to justify
not sharing important political data about the gay
cause...esp. since you gladly do so for most any
OTHER. And by so not sharing, you effectively
block further transmission of my hard-earned
wisdom. Put enough of your "gay-friendly" str8s
together, and we have a Conspiracy of Silence that
inevtably leads to anti-gay holocausts that go
unacknowledged by the breeder world at large.
No, it's not up to us queers to take a stand and
fight back. Not without a lot more heteros backing
us up, and even standing right beside us. After
all, hetero supremacy created this ugly anti-gay
scenario in the first place...and it still rages
on, after all these centuries!
So don't you think that you, and most other
liberal straights, have some moral responsibility
to get off your asses, roll up your sleeves w/o
whining, and help us knock down the
bullies...who--if straights don't do this
now--will wind up to be the NEXT victims of the
oncoming New Age Holocaust. So I'm really trying
to point the way to saving your soul.
And nothing less than that. I do believe I am
rather important in this world.
Semper Fidelis,
Little Pony Zeke
