Harvey Fierstein: „Es gibt so wenige heterosexuelle Männer, dass ich weiß, zu dem ich aufschaue.“

Me too Harvey. Me too.

Oh man. I didn’t recognize him without the beard!

Understood, but you, Mr. Fierstein are a national treasure.

Get off your knees!

Do grown ups still have role models? It’s been like 30 years since I’ve seriously looked up to anybody. Once you figure out that your parents are fallible and imperfect and don’t have it all figured out, doesn’t it stand to reason that nobody else does either? Outside of fictional characters, like Jesus and Bandit Heeler, I expect everyone to be flawed. You can still learn a lot from the positives and negatives of those flawed people, but why should you look up to them?

Don’t spend so much time on your knees, those are not periscopes

In other words “everyone who isn’t like me is bad”. 

Where have I heard that sentiment before?

This is a bigoted thing to say.

Gay men, and Fierstein especially, are allowed to complain about straight men.

Why? Because straight men are NOT a threatened minority. They face no oppression, except by other straight men.

Are you really concerned with Fierstein thinking you’re a self serving asshole? Of course not. It doesn’t affect you at all. Let the man speak his mind.

Misread as Weinstein. Nobody to look up to himself. But it was Fierstein. Yes sir, it’s a damn shame

I would assume he tends to look at them eye to eye

Even as a hetero guy, same. Granted, I actively avoid putting people on pedestals.

Haha.. Al those people getting buttthurt (no pun intended).

He has a point though doesn’t he.. As a straight, white, cis male (that’s how you call it right?),I don’t get a lot of discrimination. But I do know that I’m attracted to women, and I can’t tell you why.. It just happens to be so..

So imagine that I live in a world where me being attracted to women is being seen as something unnatural for ages. People have fought for the rights of me… Wich is bizar in its own way.. I didn’t choose to be attracted to women, it just happened to be so! And then some twat comes along and is destroying all those rights… And the big majority just sits and watches it happen. Where are your balls?

I find it insultingly stupid to a) be fascinated by what other people’s love life looks like, b) destroy their rights, c) tell other people how they should do things and d) be so fucking indifferent to human rights when they dont involve you… That’s just weirdly stupid.

Harvey, we love you. And it’s also okay to just be fine with the fact that you don’t identify deeply with straight men. We’re all okay anyway.

There’s a bottom joke in there somewhere

It’s been a while since I seen Harvey….sans the facial hair I didn’t recognize him.
