The Gay Agenda

So I was talking with a couple of women the other day (Donna and Rita-pseudonyms) Donna said she would like to bring her son down to look at something that I was selling. Later in the conversation, Rita said she would have to talk to Tony about it. I asked if Tony was Donna's son. She replied, "No, Tony is ...my...domestic partner." I pondered that for a moment and disregarded it. Later in the conversation, Rita referred to Tony as "she." I made the connection. - Stay with me here or you'll jump to the wrong conclusion-
I did not judge Rita, nor Tony (or, as I now understand, "Toni") I am an accepting person. I take people at face value. I let their action form my opinion, not their title, ie: African-American, Gay, junkie...
Later, I heard a guy on TV saying that he doesn't care if somebody is gay as long as they don't push their agenda on him. I thought about that. So really, he is offended by Gays. Look at it the other way: I don't mind Hets as long as they don't push their agenda on me. You see, I was pushing my Het agenda on Rita. I assumed that Tony was a guy, and that she and he were "together." Assumptions can be seen as an "agenda."
The Het agenda is so pervasive that the guy on TV didn't realize how unaware he was.
I was unaware. We do a lot of things everyday that we are totally unaware of. It is hard to know what we are doing "wrong" when we are not even aware of its existence.
I try my best to be good. Perfection is unachievable, but it doesn't stop me from trying to learn new things, increase my awareness of my world.
Thanks for letting me share tonight.
