Punk Rock and Homophobia

            
             I like cucumbers mmmmm....yummy. with salt
             i love everyone
             so everyone must love me
             so how can you hate one another when you are
             united by both your love for me, and your love for cotton: the fabric of our live
             slackjaw is good YAYAYAYAYAY
             asbestos is good YAYAYAYAYAY
             being mean is BAD boo booo booo
             If we are going to fight, let it be over something of importance
             - abortion
             - police brutalitly
             - persecution of minorities
             - homophobia and racism
             - rape or
             - wellfare
            
             NOT over who said what
             fine, most of the people here are older then me
             i accept that
             but I just which they would start acting like it
            
             squabbling over trivial matters like this leads to the neglect of more important issues
            
             Think of this trite exchange of half-witted insults as a situation analogous to the flag burning amendment
            
             congress, instead of dealing with real issues, discussed adding an amendment to the constitution about burning flags
            
             we, in similarity, are fighting over who said what about who, when there is a serious problem right under our noses: "the scene" or the people who go to shows or "punks" or whatever u want to call it is in great distress
            
             it's something built apon indivisuality, acceptance, and the refusal to be judged by the narrow standards that society tends tends to force apon us
            
             but now, all these ideals are lost
             we can't say that these concepts are still the basis of punk when we have begun to judge each other on the standards of punk: which are just as rigid if not more so then the ones we were originally trying to escape
