There are days and sometimes certain weeks that I find myself asking the simplest question. The question Why? Why do I do this? Why do I write my blog? Why do I put myself out there, open to abuse, sometimes ridicule and hatred. I get my fair share of hate mails (hence forth referred to as mind fucks). They come in all shapes, sizes and fonts – some even with attachments! They appear in my e-mail inbox, I get them on Facebook and now also on Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, receiving hate mail shows that I must be hitting some anal retentive nerve in the Bible belts and red neck villages of the world, but nevertheless some are rather distasteful and rude! So I will dedicate this blog post to all my haters, homophobes and those deranged people out there who love sending me their mind fucks. Here is my official response to you!
Congratulations on managing to join the rest of the world on the Internet. I would give you a high five but unfortunately I don’t want to catch what you have as there is no antibiotic treatment to cure or even alleviate ignorance and the symptoms there off. You probably didn’t know this, until now, but the world is one big and scary place. It’s filled with people with different believes and world views than yours. Some of these people can also read and write and have opinions that I am convinced that you would not like. Opinions and views much like the ones I express here on my web page that you find oh so distressing. But the queerest thing is, even though you hate me, hate gays and hate my blog you always seem to come back. Why is that?
Do you have nothing better to do than read upsetting and as some of you so eloquently put it “Vulgar, Depraved, Satanistic, Pornographic, Garbage” literature? Let’s face it I’m not competing for a Pulitzer Prize here, and I am sure it’s not my brilliant writing that draws you back to my URL. Could it be that you have not yet come to terms with your own sexual identity or are you just so insecure that you have this burning urge to cyber bully people to make yourself feel better. I don’t know the answer to these questions and frankly I don’t give a shit about your mental health, your identity crisis or insecurities. I pity you as some of your mind fucks seems more like a desperate cry for help and I am not a psychiatrist. Furthermore, I am not a child or a teenager that you can intimidate and scare with your mind fucks. Abusive and hateful e-mails will hardly bring me to tears or drive me to suicide. And then there are those damn “death threats”!
It must come as a surprise to you, but I don’t take your death threats seriously! The symbolic threats of telling me and all gay people to “Get Aids and Die” are laughable. You can hope and wish that we do, but we most certainly will not purposefully infect ourselves. “Burn in Hell” and condemning me to hell also is not scaring me nor is it my readers. In your mind you might think you are God but back here on planet earth, where the rest of us “normal people” live, you’re nothing but a deranged mortal with some really fucked up ideas.
Threatening to “hunt me down like an animal” and then gut me, threatening to kill my 4 cats and my husband and then the wrath of God ravaging my “evil” soul I find rather distasteful. Obviously the dying side of your threats I find unappealing, but the fact that some of you have actually made these threats by including Bible verses as points of reference and as justification is alarming. I wonder what your God will think about murder and your general religious reasoning and will you send him/her a mind fuck as well if he/she disagrees with your screwed up view? Suck on that for while…

I decided a few months ago that I would not publish your shit on my blog. Mainly because you are cowards and too scared to actually write any of your repugnant, delusional mind fucks on my blog as comments. Rather opting to send them “anonymously” via hotmail, yahoo and gmail. The few of you who actually displayed an inkling of guts sent me your mind fucks on Facebook and Twitter, but none of you were man or woman enough to stay for a fight which I find pathetic. In all probability you are those spineless people that can hurdle insults at people in a crowd and behind other people’s backs but are too weak to do it to someone’s face. And Oh Boy the Internet must be huge comfort for spineless folks like you. You can say whatever you want without once physically being confronted or demanded to explain the dire tripe you spew.
In conclusion, you can keep on sending me your mind fucks, waste more bandwidth, waste more of your time and money. But know this, I will still write my blog, be a proud gay man and fight for the rights of GLBT people all over the world by making people aware of injustice, intolerance, homophobia, discrimination and ignoramuses like you. Your hate will not silence me, your ignorance will not deter me and your threats do not scare me! I am queer, I am here and I am NOT going anywhere! So fuck you!
Till next time.

ROFL, omg this rant is just DRIPPING with awesome, so many of the haters need to be told off in just such a manner! kudos to you, my friend! (@Phunk ewww, like i told the peeps that offered me Christine O'Donnell, i wouldn't fuck most of em without a gag, a full body latex covering (stupidity might be catching) and maybe an 11th commandment)
@Phunk Factor, I say let's bring it on!!! Now where did I put my jumbo KY tube?!
@Hana, thanks. It's been a long week and the hate mails soooo wasn't helping. I just needed to get this out of my system. This Queen needed to bitch and bitch I did!
@ Hana
Hahahaha...i won't touch them with an 11 foot pole...bt to see the look of horror on their faces tht they're surrounded like rats on a sinking ship...ahhhhhh...bliss!!!
@Phunk Factor, great minds think alike and I'm sure Hana would love to see that too! Hana, come over to the dark side - you know you want to!
Though I don't know you in person I honestly admire you for writing this.
You're right and you have my full support, I wonder how some people can be that narrow-minded!
Sara, thanks I appreciate your support ;-)
LOL!!! As always I get such a kick out of your blog! Awesome! Hilarious! And a delightful kick in the ballocks to all the haters out there. Keep writing Pierre! :)
The Cranky Canadian, thanks I will!
Pierre ek dink jyt dit perfek opgesom toe jy gese het dat die haters dalk nog issues het met hulle eie seksualiteit.mense tree slegs so op wanneer hulle bedreig voel, en hulle is (en voel) duidelik bedreig!!!!!!!!!!!jou blog is so witty en interessant.dalk verstaan hulle nie eers nie, met die kleinlike onderontwikkelde mieliepitbreinselletjies wat die arme droe doosde het nie?
hou aan skryf!!!!!j blog is die spreekbuik vir SOVEEL mense daarbuite!!!!
Don't they realise that their hate gives us the strength to fight? They are nothing but scared little children clinging to a dying religion. The world is slowly waking up to the lies told by the church and realising that that we should only have faith in ourselves, as human beings, despite our differences. This is what these rabid religious zealots don't want! They don't want us to be united. But we are. And will be so until they and their religion are nothing more than bad memories. As P!nk sings in her new single " .. Raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways, all my underdogs, we will never be never be anything but loud, and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks ... so RAISE YOUR GLASS!"
So continute what you're doing. We're all in this together and it will be us (and common sense) that will win ....
@Anonymous, thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased that you find my blog witty and interesting!
@darkhalf, very well put and I totally concur! Raise your glass!
Oh C'mon! It's gotta be a little bit of fun making people that angry. I don't know, maybe it's the whole being simultaneously descended from highlanders and vikings thing, but I love to show up to pillage the village from time to time.
Jeremy Janson, I will admit I like pissing these people off from time to time. But at least I do it in a "nice" way and most of the time by confronting them with the truth albeit hidden in humour which seems to be lost on them.
Well said! I join you in the fight! this blog is really true- those people have nothing else to do but write hate emails to feel better! there are thousands maybe milliions of people out there doing this to others- they back stab you they treat you bad just becasue they want to feel better! but the Wheel turns! Roberta
Roberta, the world is filled with bullies but we don't need to be afraid of them. We need to stand up against them and lead by example. Like I always say - It only takes one person to make a difference so let that one person be you!
Do you still ask Why? Then I'll tell you: because for every asshole who hates you, there are at least two who LOVE you and your blog :) You insipre me, and many others I'm sure. So keep up your blog, because I don't know what I'd do if I check in one day and there's nothing for me to read :O
