'Emor For Gays
I've heard it all my life, quotes from 'scriptures,' condemning me to death; mis-used, abused, out-of-context, spit like vile, venemous, by non-believers, non-worshipers, 'believers' too, just repeated soundbites, by those who do not think for themselves, who only repeat, like robots, parroting commands.
It all stems from the same place, ancient words, translated, re-translated, transliterated, then revised to 'agree' with a certain POLITICAL CLIMATE CHANGE. The root? It's not "from the bible," that is a common misconception. Before the King James version was the Vulgate, and before that the Septuagint, which was a literalist translation from the Hebrew, the Torah itself.
What does it say? Why?
I am disabled; I am Jew-ish; I am Gay. I know exactly who I am. Why would somebody espousing "love" spew hatred of my alternative lifestyle, using misquoted phrases of religious zealots, fundamentalists and extremists?
From the Torah, L.17 there is a description of someone claiming the 'lord' spoke to 'moses' instructing him to say to 'aaron' that throughout the ages, forevermore, no man with a defect (eyesight defect, lameness, disability, etc) can be a priest, or worship, or enter a house of worship to make offerings.
Why would it say that? Why would it contradict EQUALITY, especially when Kedoshim is about exactly that? Why?
It doesn't. Those who are different, who are automatically branded with the MARK of automated-hateful responses by others, due to their disability, must not be expected to do the same tasks as everyone else. You can't tell a blind man: "If you can't read it, what good are you?" and then kill him for it. You can't punish the visually impaired for not seeing the hand you 'extend' -- either for a handshake or hand-slap. You can't cast-away the ill, just because they are ill, or aged, or lame, or filled with a 'flavor' of 'diversity' of which you are unfamiliar.
-- or a language issue;
-- or difference of faith;
-- or committment to love one of same-sex instead of opposite-sex.
-- because, in this society, unless the same as all the others, one's diversity is an added burden to bear, a built-in "tithe"; or "tax"; a hardship misunderstood and taken foregranted by those who know nothing of it, because they've never walked in the shoes of those carrying such burdens.
The common perceptions of Leviticus is about condemntations, portraying an air of supremacy; racism; special-treatment; and those with little or no self-esteem are taught to condemn others in the pathetic attempt at making themselves-out as 'superior.' But that is false-pride. Not real pride, and certainly not real Gay Pride.
In the ancient texts, Jews are instructed to prove compassion by proving kindness to strangers, the fatherless, the lame, the blind, the poor, the beggar, all people equals, equal justice for all, not just a select few.
I have proved through my lifestyle, every minute of my life, that I have never cheated on a spouse, or anyone I've ever dated. Monogomy is the MARRIAGE EQUALITY which we Gays have sacrificed for. I have proved that monogomy is the cornerstone of Same-Sex Marriage, or Gay Rights itself, by living it, every moment of it, personally, never deviating from that narrow path.
I am now in an akward situation where I have been asked to support 'friends' who are not monogomous, that think it's "old fashioned," and "traditionalist," and that Gay Rights and Gay Marriage is about "alternatives to monogomy." But all my friends were killed by non-monogomous people with attitudes like that before I was 30 years old. We real Gays asked for MARRIAGE EQUALITY, not "special treatment" nor "special exceptions" nor a "blanket license" to help married men lie and cheat and then cover it up with more lieing and cheating.
I will not support, nor participate, nor attend any non-monogomous marriage ceremony, ever, because non-monogomy is derogatory to the institution of marriage itself, regardless of gender or sexual-orientation of the married partners; therefore, against Gay Rights, Against EQUALITY itself, not just Marriage Equality, but Equality itself.
Non-monogomous people are a danger unto themselves and others. This, those non-monogomous attitudes, is the 'great fear" which stirs up hatred against all Gay people (and Lesbians). I will not support it. I will not support your non-mongomous relationship. It's fake. It proves you know not what love truly is. If you did, you'd never bed-hop, you'd never sleep-around, because doing so proves zero-respect for the life of your so-called "future one-and-only love," which you place at risk, just for a moment of selfish 'fun' or a 'good time.'
"Traditionalist!" -- "You must be confused! Angry! Unintelligent!" -- I've heard it from many:
JUDGEMENT
ACCUSATION
LABEL
-- in that order; it's the mindset of bullies. Firstly, they make a judgement, "You seem irritated," which is an accussation and a label they've just accosted your spirit with. "No, I'm not." "Yes you are." "No I'm not." "Yes you are." "No I'm not!" -- it's childish -- there is only one outcome to the bully-mindset antagonism. It's scurrilous, and an extension of the childish "playing doctor" game against not your body but your mind. That's why it's antagonism. After you defend yourself, then they say, "You are so obstinate; hostile; disagreeable; argumentative; irritable, just like I said, told ya' so!" It's all sensationalistic from the get-go; bullying is always that way, antagonism. Regardless of response, their only goal is to judge, accuse and label; the bully is never satisfied until they antagonize a response out of you.
Burdens of Priesthood
-- Like the burdens we Gays know from the bullying and inequities of the society where we are born into; Aaron was told to recognize the built-in, or 'born-with' burdens of those with disabilities and instructed not to expect the disabled to make offerings, which are economic burdens, because the disabled would then be double-burdened, and offerings are to be out of love, not resentment, not a figurative "lash" for breathing. The offerings were the social-net to assist the poor, the needy, the disabled, seniors, wounded war vets. Political Climiate Change has modifed translations into a supremacist rant in many versions of 'scripture.' There are still some, not many, but some Orthodox Jewery versions, followed by a few, who claim the supremacist-version is the only 'truth' and all that think different should be punished, if not exterminated; most Jews do not think that. I certainly do not. But I know there are far more 'christian' versions that read any version of 'scripture' merely to find excuses to make themselves-out as 'superior' to others, to find 'negatives' to hammer against their self-made and merciless 'positive-cross-signs' using the points of their hypocritical forked-tongues as nails. All should strive not to be 'positive' or engage in 'positive-thinking' for that reason; because it stems from cult-mentality of supremacy.
Give what one may give; be generous; strive to be kind, always.
Kind regards, always,
