In the ancient days of the Dark Lord, sometime around the Year of the Gunslinger, 1896, the American Supreme Court made a little ditty that was straight outa “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. In that book, there’s a message written on the side of the barn for all the animals to see: “All are equal, but some are more equal than others.” I may be misquoting, but that’s the gist.
“Separate but equal” sounds Orwellian before Orwell was even born. Thank you, America, and we thought Orwell was writing about Hitler and the Soviet Union – but Americans hate to be left out of anything!
Now, if you have a color of skin that the Supreme Court doesn’t like, you still get to be equal! (America was “born” in 1776 … long time waiting to be equal in a “democracy”.) Aren’t you lucky? Those “justices” CARE about you!
However, if you are a boy who likes boys or a girl who likes girls, FUCK YOU, says the current Supreme Court, in this Year of the Mass Shooting, 2023. A homophobic lady won her case so that she doesn’t have to serve anyone who likes wearing rainbows.
Targets are always necessary, especially in a country that worships guns. Gay people have always been easy targets, well, since the Stonewall Inn at least, so now when the God of Republicans (Trump) is on his way to jail, the states and their right-wing Christian miracle workers have to target someone to make themselves blow off steam and feel their side is winning … something.
A bigot hates to be told – if not also proven – that he’s a bigot, especially when Jesus says he taint.
And once again, the American Empire is falling fast and hard. (Going down faster than a V2 rocket on the capital of the British Empire! The Spanish and French never got that close! The Vikings however …)
In fifty years, I predict the first gay American president. But being American, there will have to be some kind of royally fucked up peculiarity: a gay Republican African-American lesbian homophobe who wears Nazi insignia with her rainbow robe, and who worships the Anti-Christ and Jesus, calling them the same guy.
Will that make all Americans finally happy that they elected the “right one” this time?
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, all the animals are eating each other and farting out their indigestion all over the American Constitution. Which is still stained with 1776 pounds of Orwellian farm shit.
