“

God we fuck up teenagers’ heads. We tell them that biological conditions are moral punishments and then we get all shocked when they don’t practice rational risk management of biological conditions. We teach them “sex is super desirable and all the cool kids do it, and it’s hideously shameful and will destroy your life” and we wonder why they act an eensy bit neurotic about it. If you tried to design a system for making sexually active kids confused and unsafe, you couldn’t do much better than the American media and school system.

And for once, the answer is relatively simple. Just talk about sex like it’s a part of life. Some people have sex and some people don’t, because people are different. STIs aren’t bad because they’re Dirty Crotch Rot; they’re bad because they’re contagious illnesses like strep throat or whooping cough, and you can ask a doctor to check for and treat them just like you would with strep throat. Unwanted pregnancy isn’t a scarlet A; it’s a mostly-preventable accident that sometimes occurs when people are going about their normal business of having sex. You can ask the school counselor about a variety of topics, including career planning, problems at home, questions about sex, or conflicts with teachers.

If we could just get the goddamn stick out of our collective ass and accept that sex is a human activity and teenagers are humans, maybe there wouldn’t be quite so many plaintive “I don’t understand my body and I’m confused and scared and I don’t know anyone I can ask in person” messages flying out into the world.

“Personally, I would like to remind our legislature that some of us in the queer community don’t look ANYTHING even sort of like heterosexuals. Our community includes self-described freaks, people who pride themselves on being just a little bit uncomfortable to look at. Some of us don’t fit into any classification and we do things every hour on the hour that would make your grandmother puke. Some of us shouldn’t be left with children because the children would frighten us. Some of us don’t have mortgages. Some of us don’t belong to church. Some of us are not model citizens. Some of us don’t have partners, some of us have eleven partners, and some of us are like “Partners?”. And we ALL DESERVE THE SAME RIGHTS as every person who resembles the Ozzie and Harriet-esque Sears picture frame stand-in family photo. We deserve that right, because it is a RIGHT, and, by definition, deserved. We do not have to prove our heteronormativity to anyone. We do not have to prove our ANYTHING to anyone. We are people, and the rights of people are self-evident. There is no need for us to argue our point, because there is, in fact, no valid argument against our point. And anyone who wishes to attempt to “argue” this point should be allowed to do so uninterrupted as they dig themselves into the ground in a mad tornado of misquoted verses and snippets of Constitution. And when they are finished, we can say, “Your hate has turned you into an idiot.” And then we can walk away feeling sorry for them in their blinding idiocy, and the embarrassment their children will eventually feel when they look back on their hateful, backward, disgusting parents and blush. There is no argument against equality. There is only equality. And we can be as freaky about it as we want. Thank you, and Maude Bless.”
