I'm putting my foot down!

[LoneSword7878]

(We are here at the park and the day is starting to wind down. Two close friends, very close friends who are both male, are starting to pack up and head home as the sun begins to set on an afternoon of exercise and bonding. Right when they are both about to head out of the gate, however, an angry mob comes in and blocks the way and has the two in their sights.

This group is seen holding inflammatory signs basically saying directly that the two are generally inferior as humans simply for being who they are and that they cannot be together. Insults such as unnatural, disgusting, immoral, and a few other slurs can be heard from this bunch as they cacophonically shook not only the park, driving off other visitors who were out later than usual, but the whole block. Seeing a small opening, one of the two encourages his significant other, who didn't exactly had the frame of someone who defend himself, to escape through and hunker down at home.

He says that he would stay behind and hold them off while makes his escapes. His friend bolts for it and successfully makes it out without much notice. And now this one particularly individual was about to display courage unlike any other against the coming storm of bigotry and conformity.)

Look, I don't know what the deal is with you guys, but will you please just let me through so I can head home, take a shower, call my friend to make sure he's alright, and then go to bed so I can go to work in the morning? We were both just wrapping a nice picnic dinner out here and are ready to call it day.

No? Why not?
What the heck did I ever do to you people?

That is absolutely none of your business and you don't need to go sticking your nose where it doesn't belong unless you're really looking to regret it.

Oh, you think you can whatever you please?
How so?

I have no idea what in the world you're all talking about.
What god? What values?

Where did you hear all of that nonsense from?
What agenda?

Oooooh...I get it now.
You're all with them.
I know who you guys are.
I know your kind all too well.

You think you know who I am?!
The hell you do!
You don't know the first damn thing about me or what I do!

But you, oh, I know enough about you guys to last almost a lifetime.

You think you're carrying out justice or upholding the law, but let me tell you, you all could not further from the truth. If anyone is forcing an agenda down everyone's throats, it's you lot! In fact, I would say that I am forcing your agenda back down your throats!

Yeah, turns out that I'm not as weak-spirited as you like to make out everyone else who is like me, am I?
Heck, I'm willing to take all of your words and throw 'em back.
Come on, you're nothing I can't handle.
You're not so scary once the curtain's been pulled back.
Show me whatcha' got!

Let's start with you.

If you think that you can think or say whatever you want about me, then I'm sorry to tell you that contrary to popular belief, you don't. I don't follow you're click and whatever system or code that comes with it, so therefore the only thing your accomplishing is sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. What you say or think about me and others like me is ultimately pointless because it has nothing to do with me.

No, I don't.
I'm not going to be respectful or save face if I don't want to.

I'm not obligated in any way shape or form to bow down to your little congregation. You chose that route for yourself and yourself alone so it doesn't matter to me one bit. If I think something is stupid, you bet I'm going to let you know. I may even insult you because, honestly, being considered a lesser or denied something just because I'm different is insulting enough. If I am ever restricted because I don't conform to whatever made up norm that you and only you are a part of, I will proudly shout that I do not believe in those norms.

Sure, I'll tell you all just why you have no power over me.

It's not about opinions or beliefs because it has nothing to do with what is what's true or false or right or wrong. Nothing that you hold as either sacred or normal ultimately doesn't matter because you're looking at someone who doesn't believe in it. Everyone besides you is off doing there own thing, living their own life, forming their own families, and spending time with people they love, all without a care of what is "right" or "natural" or "traditional." But then again, you all probably wouldn't know that because you're so hell bent on putting your way preciously up on a pedestal where it can be worshiped where everyone has to see it even if they don't want to.

Let me repeat again.
You don't get to have an opinion because I'm not you.
You don't get to have your say unless your looking for recognition and nothing else.
You don't get to defend anything except your pathetically fragile sense of security.
and you don't get to pick a side except your own

It's never been about any of these things and you have never had the right to any of these things.

People like me have been getting together and living life the way they want to ever since the beginning of time.

What?
What about those guys?

HA!
You think I care about what they think, either?!
Let me tell you that I never asked for their "support," anyone's "support," because the only thing they're interested in is fulfilling their own sense of "change."
Personally, I don't give a damn whether the god you praise exists or not.

Left or right, conservative or liberal, they're both one and the same.
You guys think I'm nothing without your god and they think I'm nothing without them.
To you, I'm a sinner.
To them, I'm a tool.
I don't need them babying me because I'm smart enough to learn and think and feel and decide what's best for myself.

I can take care of myself.

That's the problem with you all.

You seem to only care about what's popular or not. You seem so interested in appealing to some other collective if it means feeling all the more secure. And you are all so busy worrying about what other people are doing instead of worrying about yourselves.

Alright, it's getting really late, so let me wrap this up by saying that it's never been about you. Unless your asking for something as small as a phone call or a bit wider in scale, say a coup d' e'tat, you better watch who you talk down to. You can take all of your beliefs and morals and whatever you think you have the right to, and shove 'em all up your ass.

Now, why don't you all kindly back off?
