Gays Blame Government for Self Abuse

News headlines can be baffling. It seems we are not responsible for our actions. During the summer, some LGBTQ+ men were protesting that the government is not doing anything about partner abuse.

A ‘partner’ is a man who sleeps with another man. The LGB …. alphabet has expanded to include ‘trans women’ men who wear make-up and wigs. We are at the pinnacle of human evolution. That’s why a dog can be a cat now, and doctors can replace barking with meeeow. Men like Lia Thomas, who could not win competitions claim they are 'trans women' and compete with women swimmers like Riley Gaines. And they win.

What is well-documented is that women stay in violent marriages because of the kids, religion, culture, the fancy cars and the big house. The government has domestic violence programs in place, but it cannot enter homes and tell two people who choose to stay together, how to treat each other. Outsiders only come in if women decide to report the abuse.

The government is responsible for inflation, exploitation of workers, pollution and everything else, but I am responsible for what I see in the mirror or what lands me in the hospital. I can live alone or with other people. The government is not responsible if I choose to give them extra house keys, car keys or give them passwords to my bank accounts. If anything goes wrong, I cannot carry a placard on the street and blame the government.

I can also change who I am, and decide I’m no longer a woman or a man. I can become an experiment. I can have sex with other experiments, but I cannot blame the government if they treat me ‘like a woman’ and beat me daily. I made my choice. I cannot demand privacy from the government, then turn around and blame it for the consequences.

Gay men sleep with other men. Sometimes there’s abuse like in normal husband and wife homes. There’s a man-man and a woman-woman in gay relationships, with the ‘woman’ being beaten up and sexually abused by the husband or boyfriend. That is ‘partner’ abuse and during the summer gay men marched on the street and wanted the government to do something about it, about their personal choice.

Women are abused by men daily all over the world. It’s called domestic violence. Most women don’t have a choice because of religion, culture and other circumstances. Domestic violence is a reality for them. That’s why they tell kids, ‘Dad is working on his laptop. Don’t disturb him.’ Their situation is now over-shadowed by ‘wives’ beaten and sexually abused by ‘husbands.’ Yes, they have a right to be gay, but why blame the government for its consequences? 

Strange world. We are not to blame for our actions. The government is.
