Of Fags and Their Hags

Faghag20by20joe20rocco202006_1 Fag Hags. Every fag I know has one. I, for one, enjoy their company. Most of my them treat us more like a sister. In fact, they are our sisters.

But there has been some change in the subculture of the fag hag.

There are some hags nowadays who no longer treat their fags as part of their company, but merely as accessories, the one designated to give the right (funny) statements at the right time. Though I admit this is one of the talents we gays have, it is not the only thing we can do. I'm not saying doing this is not right, but if you reduce one's ability to just this, it seems degrading.

I met one self-declared fag hag who I totally detest. She doesn't even understand the whole thing about being gay! She seems to think that her gay friends are just "in a phase." Worse, she even entertains the thought that her fags will soon "see the light."

Forgive her, she doesn't know what she's doing.

One time, she said that she totally understood homosexuality. A few minutes later, she said that homosexuality is acquired thru exposure to other gays and their subculture. She said she was very sure of that, based on her observation.

I told here that although the origin of sexuality in general, and homosexuality in particular, hasn't yet been proven conclusively, the current evidence seems to point that the biological factors play a very big role. I for one, wasn't totally exposed to gay culture until I got into college. But even way before that, I can already call myself queer.

She dismissed the subject, saying I don't really know myself and that I'm just confused and biased.

Where did she come from? She's entitled to her own ideas and opinions, yes. But who can better understand what gayness is than gays themselves?

She is not the ones who undergoes the hardship, the loneliness, the stigma of being gay. In fact, she hasn't totally lived the gay life, not even once. What gives her the right to pontificate on such a matter?

Fag hags should be sisters who understand us, not bigoted half-sisters, who relegate gays to a lower status. But how can they understand us, if they don't even accept who we are

No one should be under or over another, but should be there right beside one another, holding each others' hands, supporting each other.

Except for this one, I think. I can't seem to forgive her. Pity, she's pretty despite her views. Maybe I'll just preserve her under a glass dome and put on a shelf. That way I can preserve her beauty without having her contaminate the world further with her misguided opinions.
