Straight Eye for the Queer Guy
Homosexuality, and homosexual rights, is a hot-button topic. It seems like everybody has a strong opinion about same-sex attraction, but is there a compassionate road to respecting people of differing opinions? In this episode, Blair and Justin discuss homosexuality in depth.
Highlights:
"When I acted out as a child, I was convinced if people knew it would disqualify me from relationship and connection." -JS
"Currently, in our culture we are at war. There is a line drawn in the sand saying you are born this way or you are wrong." -JS
"Homosexuality is often a symptom that is representing something going on below the surface." -BR
"We need to give people an invitation to go on a journey of self discovery and self-value." -BR
"When you tell people they are 'born this way' you are taking away their voice and their freedom." -JS
"In order for us to find freedom we have to give ourselves permission to go on a journey." -JS
"How about we just see the person?" -BR
"The greatest gift we are given in life is the freedom of choice." -JS
"Healthy sexuality should be a connection: healthy love coming together." -BR
"We have created a culture where creativity has been divorced from masculinity." -BR/JS
"A core piece of masculinity is the ability to feel and be connected to ourselves and the people around us." -JS
"There is an element of cowardice when you shame another person because you are so terrified of your own emotions." -BR
"Aggression has been utilized in a way to shame and degrade men." -JS
"Men living from a tender place have divorced aggression all together." -JS
"This is the invitation: You are a man, you have a man card."-BR
"We embrace the characteristics you thought disqualified you." -BR
"There is a portion of men who think they are disqualified from masculinity because of their characteristics. That is a lie." -JS
"I want to say to you who have felt disqualified, I am sorry, and I welcome you to manhood." -JS
"I am 100% man, I am 100% masculine and I reject anything that has told me I'm not." -JS
