Hello, I'm Peter.



Uh.. I'm 20, I live in Southern California, and I'm an English major. I mostly blog about music and the occasional ridiculousness of my life. I'm in love with the hook upon which everyone hangs.

"Many sexual liberation movements project this idea of ‘liberating yourself from the hideous constraints that weigh upon you.’ Yet the affirmation that to be a homosexual is for a man to love another man-this search for a way of life runs counter to the ideology of the sexual liberation movements of the sixties. It’s in this sense that the mustached ‘clones’ are significant. It’s a way of responding: ‘Have nothing to fear; the more one is liberated, the less one will love women, the less one will founder in this polysexuality where there are no longer any differences between the two.’ It’s not at all the idea of a great community fusion. Homosexuality is a historic occasion to reopen affective and relational virtualities:, not so much through the intrinsic qualities of the homosexual but because the ‘slantwise’ position of the latter, as it were, the diagonal lines he can lay out in the social fabric allow these virtualities to come to light."

Michel Foucault in “Friendship as a Way of Life

I felt kind of tingly inside when I first read this. Don’t seek out a “great community fusion” by attempting to erase any lines between homosexuality and heterosexuality—embrace them. Homosexuality is something special and something beautiful, and we should embrace it as ours.
