Letter of the Day

posted by on March 22 at 15:52 PM

EDITOR: Thank you thank you thank you for the article on devotees. We devotees are now where gay men and women were 40 years ago: closeted, ashamed, and guilty. The only solution for this is to talk about it publicly. It’s too bad the author had to be anonymous, but I can understand why. In spite of some superficial attempts at inclusiveness and equality, popular opinion still tends to desexualize and infantilize disabled people. This is why we devotees are so shocking, subversive: we find something sexy that we’re not supposed to sexualize. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of letters from the haters, but to anticipate that negative response, no, we’re not looking for someone who’s helpless, or desperate. We just think disability is sexy, and people who are disturbed by that should really take a close look at their conceptions of disability.

Disabled veterans of WWII and Vietnam radically changed the experience of disability in the United States, and made huge strides in demanding equality and integration, but there is still a long way to go. If the disabled veterans of Iraq can take us even further, then there will be at least one benefit of this disastrous, immoral, horrific war.

What? Are you really such an asshole that if you found an amputee to date that you would run around screaming at the top of your lungs "I ONLY DATE HIM BECAUSE I LOVE HIS STUMP!"?

Sure sounds like it.

There is absolutely no reason that anyone needs to know the details of your sex life or what turns you on. More importantly there is no legitimate comparison to homosexuality. If you are in a homosexual relationship your sexual preference is always on display, you cannot hide it. That is why its a civil rights issue, because if I can see you're different, then I can discriminate. It is NOT because being gay is a sexual preference. You, on the other hand, can say "I love you" with no one in the vicinity knowing about your crazy fetish.

You can have your sex. I am not a "hater", I don't give a shit. But don't tell me about your freaky sex life when you just as easily could have not.
