En alsof het allemaal niet erg genoeg is, deze foto:
op Gay Pride Amsterdam. Fullscreen. En gelachen dat we
hebben. En die ingehuurde Katrien daar rechts op de foto.
'Gay Pride'? Waarom? Vanwege die bobbel in zijn broek?
Homoseksualiteit als vleesparade?
In The Massacre of the Innocents laat de homoseksuele
dichter W.H Auden koning Herodes zeggen:
Legislation is helpless against the wild prayer of longing that rises, day in, day out, from all these households under my protection: 'O God, put away with justice and truth for we cannot understand them and do not want them' [...] Reason will be replaced by Revelation. Instead of Rational Law, objective truths perceptible to any who will undergo the necessary intellectual discipline, and the same for all, Knowledge will degenerate into a riot of subjective visions -- feelings in the solar plexus induced by undernourishment, angelic images generated by fevers or drugs, dream warnings inspired by the sound of falling water. Whole cosmogenies will be created out of some forgotten personal resentment, complete epics written in private languages, the daubs of school children ranked above the greatest masterpieces.
Idealism will be replaced by Materialism... Diverted from its normal and wholesome outlet in patriotism and civic or family pride, the need of the materialistic Masses for some visible Idol to worship will be driven into total unsocial channels where no education can reach it... Justice will be replaced by Pity as the cardinal human virtue, and all fear of retribution will vanish. Every corner-boy will congratulate himself: 'I'm such a sinner that God had to come down in person to save me. I must be a devil of a fellow.'
Mar ja, Auden was een dichter, Geer en Goor en de rest van
hun YMCA-club zijn Hansworsten.
