Medium hardcore
My friend Pete has a T-shirt that says ‘Medium Hardcore’. I’ve been wondering lately if this two-word slogan summarises my political beliefs.
The thing is, when you’re a dyke who believes in gay marriage, it sometimes seems like everyone wants to have a go at you. Radical queer activists think you’re conservative and throw their ire at you. Conservatives think you’re radical and throw their bibles at you (or try to run you over in their SUVs). Anti-marriage feminists think you’re crazy and throw their Andrea Dworkin books at you.
Yes, I’m exaggerating slightly. But to some extent, this is what it feels like. I think the only way to deal with it is to say fuck you to everybody (apart from the people who agree with me, of course). I believe what I believe. Medium. Hardcore. Whatever.
I think I’m going to get one of those shirts.
