Demonic Possession & Homosexuality: Are you possessed?
Those who are friends with me on Facebook know of my secret
obsession with the television programs The
Haunted and A Haunting. The scariest episodes of which are the ones
featuring demonic possession. These
programs scare me so much that not so long ago I got frightened by my own
shadow in the shower, almost peed myself and screamed like a little girl as a
result. So imagine my surprise when I
learned this week that I too might be possessed by a demon. I might be possessed and not even know about
it and to make things even worse - you might be possessed too!
My old friend Pat Robertson (the American “Christian” Televangelist) had a religious
epiphany on his harebrained morning television show a while back. While discussing a man in a brokeback
marriage’s behavior of trolling the streets longing for cheap sex with men, Pat
came to the conclusion that it must somehow be related to demonic possession. When I saw this I must admit that I did get a
little excited but not for the reasons you might think.
You see I thought that my possible demonic possession could
explain my mood swings and IMS (Irritable Male Syndrome - in case you missed that blog post). If I was indeed possessed by a demon then all
I needed to do is contact my local Catholic Church and get an exorcism sanctioned
by the Vatican. We all know the Pope
adores me and if he could he would jump at the chance of making me straight. But being the rational person that I am I
decided to examine this more closely before I voluntarily invited the Pope or any of his priests’ holy ghosts to enter me from behind.
The Exorcist must
be the one movie about demonic possession that scared the living shit out of me
the most. Needless to say I have watched
it several times too many and it serves as my personal point of reference when
it comes to extreme cases of demonic possession. So being a professional homosexual it would be
expected that I (according to Pat) too be the victim of an extreme case of
possession and, in light of this, I decided to look for any of the warning signs.
During the last 21 years of being openly gay I am not aware
that I ever ran up the stairs upside down on all fours, intentionally peed
myself, masturbated with a crucifix, spun my head around 360 degrees while spewing
vulgar curses intermingled with Latin phrases or told a priest to suck me off
or told him his mother performs fellatio in hell. With the absence of these telltale warning
signs I concluded that I could not possibly be possessed by a demon, or could
I? Is it possible that I could be wrong?
In most episodes of The
Haunting the ghosts, spirits or demons either hid away in a closet in a
house or used a closet or a fireplace as a portal to enter our realm with the
purpose of haunting a house or to possess humans.
Is this a coincidence? Is this
why homosexuals come out of the
closet? I don’t know. But I do know that most people’s closets are
scary godforsaken places and the only creatures that like to spend time in
there are cats, mentally disturbed children and apparently demons. Whether they do this to secretly judge your
wardrobe or are taking pleasure from looking at items of clothing that are reminiscent
of some bad life choices you have made in the past, who knows. But they like closets, and I do not.
Demonic possession is always portrayed as this scary evil
thing but if Pat is right and all queer folk are indeed possessed by demons it
would mean that the media’s portrayal of possession is wrong. Sure some homosexuals can talk in tongues
when drunk, stoned or high. Sure some
homosexuals can get violent when her girlfriend is being chatted up by another
chick at a bar. Sure some homosexuals
could neglect their personal hygiene (Robert
Patterson I am talking to you). But
it’s not all vomiting green slime, foaming from the mouth and sexually violating
religious paraphernalia while levitating above your bed.
There is more and according to some religious fanatics we also have an
earthly leader paving our way to hell.
Demon possession and the embodiment of evil have been
attributed to Lady Gaga and her legion of little monsters of which I am
one even though her latest album kind of sucks. Mother Monster, as she calls
herself, has been called many things and some fanatical religious folks even
went as far as to say the devil is working through her. Furthermore, they claim Gaga’s album Born this Way is filled with evil
messages and satanic symbolism. Apparently
what we all saw as dramatic flair and artistic expression has in fact always
been evil and straight from the devil himself.
One nut job even wrote on her blog “If Gaga scares you that means
you have the power of God giving you discernment”. I am not sure exactly what this Sarah
Salvation meant to say with that statement other than the fact that she loses
bowl control whenever Gaga plays over the radio and that she blames the shit in
her panties on her religion. Maybe if
Sarah Salvation invested in a good enema kit she would not be so anal in her
world views and would shit herself less.
After some strenuous research on Google I could not find any
evidence supporting Pat’s theory on homosexuality and demon possession. If you think about it, why would any demon
from hell want to possess a homosexual anyway?
If you have seen the weird shit homosexuals do to their pets when we are
bored you can just imagine what corny outfits we would dream up for our
demons. Some of us queers curse like
sailors anyway and the demon may find it difficult to keep up with our four
letter word vocabulary. And then there
is hell and I am sure Satan would not appreciate it if a bunch of Queens merrily
skipped in there signing “I am on the right track, baby I am born this way” while
putting our paws up and started redecorating.
So before you reach for the holy water, crucifixes and run
into the warm not so platonic embrace of your local Priest, chances are that
you are not possessed by any
demon. Our dear friend Pat in all likelihood
just had one of his regular brain farts and clearly did not think it through
before he made that statement. Just like
we did not cause Hurricane Katrina and the lesbians aren’t partly to blame for
9/11. Sorry Pat, perhaps it is time to
start taking those meds again.
Till next time.

Clown Porn: The Circus is Cuming to Town!
You know what they say about men with big feet, is the same true of clowns? Well, just the other day this disturbing conundrum was forced into my psyche by one of my loyal and well meaning blog readers. This led me teetering down an upsetting path of discovery of just how bizarre human sexual fetishes can be. I never knew it existed and now that I do, my coulrophobia has spring into overdrive!
I have written about strange sexual fetishes before: Golden showers, Belgium Chocolate, S&M, Scarfing, Furring, Fisting, to mention but a few. They are weird, unhygienic, could possibly be dangerous and attracts a selected few individuals who just can’t get aroused or shoot their load if they’re not being peed on, defecated on, strangled, whipped or chained. But now Bozo the Clown seems to have stepped out of the Circus Ring and into the Porn Studio where he has swapped squirting water into people’s faces to squirting bodily fluids from things other than fake flowers.
Yes it’s true! There is such a thing as Clown Porn as I wincingly discovered. You see after receiving an e-mail from one of my readers I decided to go to Google. I changed my search setting from "vanilla" to "hardcore", went to image search, typed in “Clown Porn” and pressed enter. What appeared on my screen was more unsettling than the movie IT by Stephen King. Bozo the clown, Coco, Scruffy and others lost their innocence and were doing nasty things, sexual things and things clowns really should not be seen doing or be seen having done to them.
Personally, I have never liked clowns, they freak me out and I am scared to death of them! I have always thought there was something macabre and evil about clowns and now I am certain. After all you never quite really know what the person behind the makeup looks like, what true feelings or urges they are masking behind their silly acts and what their true motives are behind those chilling laughs. I have never trusted clowns and not in my wildest imagination (and it gets pretty wild sometimes) did I think off clowns as ever being sexual or God forbid – SEXY!
But, evidently there are people who do see clowns as sexual objects and are aroused by them. There are people with twisted circus erotic fantasies and people who want to do unspeakable things to Bozo the clown and have him do unmentionable things to them. Maybe they enjoyed the circus a little too much as children. Maybe instead of reading Playboy or Playgirl they got off by watching clowns perform and misguidedly misinterpreted it as burlesque shows. It is wrong and twisted on so many levels that I can’t even begin to fathom it!

It is wrong and twisted on so many levels that I can’t even begin to fathom it!
I take solace in the fact that this clown fetish phenomenon is currently largely a niche and heterosexual thing. However, I suspect it’s not long before a Gay Clown Porn movie is made. I for one most certainly would not have any interest, whatsoever, to watch it, as I would have nightmares for months or even years to come. I can’t even imagine what the story line and setting of such a queer film would be. The circus seems too obvious and a children’s party would just be wrong and not to mention illegal. Would Bozo venture into plumbing, mechanics, the army, a sexy camping trip or be kidnapped by sexy Amazon men? Or would poor old Bozo be lost in the streets looking for his circus tent and then be sexually exploited by a bunch of street thugs? Who knows, the possibilities are endless. And the thought troubling.
As disturbing as this is to me, I wonder how the clown community feels about this. Are they livid and disgusted too? Having almost been blinded and made nauseous by my Google Image search, I proceeded to do a normal Internet search on Clown Porn, for the purpose of being thorough. There actually is a website called “Stop Clown Porn Now”. Naively I visited their website, thinking the creator(s) would have been just as appalled as I was. But, on closer inspection, their website was nothing more than a Clown Porn Directory disguised as something else. Clearly Clown Porn freaks have a twisted sense of humour, is shrewd and this led me to my next puzzling question.
How do you know if your lover is a Clown Porn Freak? In all probability the first tell tale sign would be if he gets super excited when he hears the circus is coming to town, then when at the circus he pitches his own tent in his pants when the clowns enters the ring. Your suspicion should also be roused when the circus programs with Bozo’s face on it have not been discarded weeks after the circus have left, and have now became all wrinkly and crusty. You should really be worried when you lover comes home in October with two clown costumes with accompanied clown paraphernalia, and when asked about the odd purchase he tells you it’s for Halloween. Finally, all suspicion should be gone the night he enters your bedroom dressed as the clown Funking Frankie and then enters you calling you his bitch Coco!
When it comes to sex the human race is a Pandora’s Box of the strange and bizarre. All people have their own flavours and preferences, whether it’s silk or leather, cowboy or clown. Whatever you are into you will find pornography that depicts your every fantasy, twisted as it may be. Today I learned something new and this I know for certain – when the circus is coming to town I’ll be not go and stay clear of clowns!
Till next time.
