Okay, so below I have copied and provided the link to an opinion article that was recently printed in University of Waterloo (Canada) campus paper, The Imprint. There's been a lot of discussion around my work place as to whether the article was a good satire poking fun at homophobic conservative types (the lifestyle not the party) or it was just a bad joke that shouldn't have been printed.

I'm still in limbo on it.
I can see where even printing such stupidity could promote continued ignorance and hatred, however, I also believe that this will promote much needed discussion on a still very taboo topic.
Your thoughts?

ps. GLOW is the 'Gays & Lesbians Of Waterloo", the on-campus Queer group.

Seeking a place of refuge from the GLOWmos Brendon Pinto - Columnist
I’ve held my tongue for too long now. I’m long overdue to tackle the gay agenda. No, I’m not talking about a fabulously decorated day planner, but the suspiciously well organized effort by the gay community to gay up the world. Their numbers are great, and their weapons are many. Washboard abs, impeccable fashion sense, and generally very cultured, the armies of the gay are moving towards the gayification of the entire population.
The most repugnant part of it is that all these GLOWmos aren’t even trying to not be gay. I know I could totally dig guys, but I know that God doesn’t want me to. Every morning I get up, pour myself a manly bowl of Raisin Bran and tell myself "Brendan, today you will totally dig girls." Now, why can’t the rest of you realize that your most basic desires are completely controllable?
When will the gays start to see that their lifestyle makes me really uncomforatable? Everyone I know or have ever met is completely defined by his or her sexuality in all places and at all times. This point is so painfully obvious that to disagree with it would be as ridiculous as saying that I am not your hero. Take me, for instance. I love women. This fact is manifest not just in my bedroom (or on the kitchen table) but every time I go to school, play sports and make dinner. I even pee straight.
As a result of the ubiquity of the expression of sexual orientation, my knowledge of your gayocitude makes everything you do uncomfortable for me to be around. If my life was more interesting, I’d have something else to focus on, but that just ain’t in the cards, folks. This is why it makes it impossible for me to just live and let live. I really don’t have anything better to do. These Lesbianazis and their brutalizing Gaystapo have got to be stopped.
To counteract the toxic effect GLOW is having on our campus, I propose starting a new student group as a safe place for those of us who fear the gays. We’ll call it Waterlooians Against Nefarious Gays. My fellow WANG enthusiasts and I will work to end and reverse any social progress the LGBT community has made on campus.
Encouraging tolerance for sinful lifestyles is a slippery slope. You start with legalization of same-sex unions and the next logical step is marrying animals. Next on the list are plants, then parasitic organisms. If we don’t stop this evil now, the next generation of Canadians will be raised by tapeworms — that’s a scientific fact — and it will be your fault for not stopping it now.
Monogamy among gay couples? Religious context aside, this ruins all the stereotypes I’ve ever learned. Those are really hard to maintain if I am to be inundated with counterexamples.
The gays of the campus conspire to inject us all with a sexual orientation that will homogenize us all. It seems like our country is doomed to become a colourful emulsion of hair gel and house music. Let’s pull together, straighten up and fly right.
I’m Brendan Pinto and I’m single (ladies and not gentlemen), so tell your friends
 
I think it's hilarious, and totally gay-supportive.

He's saying "what are you so freaking scared of?"

and he's saying it pretty well.
 
Satire as soon as 'Gayification' was uttered. Intelligent stuff. It should only really offend those its satirising anyway.

I go with a combination of lousy satire and bad taste combined.:grrr: :grrr:

And this quote: When will the gays start to see that their lifestyle makes me really uncomforatable? Everyone I know or have ever met is completely defined by his or her sexuality in all places and at all times.
I sure would like to see him back up that statement in red. That has to be one of the worst categorical statements i have ever read and or seen.[-X [-X [-X [-X [-X

eM.:(
 
It is very intelligently written satire with enough creative flair not to speak to those witless enough to not recognize it as such. If it appeared in a campus paper of some sort it probably found it's intended audiance. If it were in a local community paper it would do more damage than good. -Sigh- If only we could make all the monkies communicate with each other.
 
Funny. Thumb way up.
I love Canadians; even when they can't figure out satire.

Sounds like satire especially here (but we're biased...since we think it would be utterly stupid for anyone to hold such opinions...though I still think it's satire...kind of funny...but still needing more of a clear "gay support" feel).
 
I'm sorry....I found it horribly written and couldn't get past the first sentence...

My, my...What passes for editorials these days?


And you want Satire/Bad Taste....


At least your University didn't publish a cartoon of Jesus Christ giving a pig a blow job...

Satire, I've read better, but I liked the tapeworm line. And who hasn't dated a parasitic organism?
 
"Monogamy among gay couples? Religious context aside, this ruins all the stereotypes I’ve ever learned. Those are really hard to maintain if I am to be inundated with counterexamples."

This is guy is slick and clever - not surprisingly people who want to be offended and people who feel they have to jump on soap-boxes to defend other's sensibilities kick up a storm. Fucking flag-wavers.

Yeah, definetly satire.

I'd rather see this in print than the article in my school newspaper longing for the days when sodomites were lower members of society and buggery was illegal. Fucking Capilano Courier. I can't believe I pay fees to support that "newspaper."
 
I think it is either very homophobic or clever satire. What swings me toawds satire is this

We’ll call it Waterlooians Against Nefarious Gays. My fellow WANG enthusiasts and I will work to end and reverse any social progress the LGBT community has made on campus.

WANG is slang for dick. Clever! :-)

Can you write more about that?
 
Definelty satire, not the funniest thing I have ever read, but I cracked a smile over my lunch, so good enough for me. Well done to the author.
