I Love This Message

(Originally posted on my myspace page in March 2009)

I've been re-watching Queer as Folk every night while going to bed. I just saw this scene where the message reminds me of a prior blog, and standing up for equality. In season 1 Emmett makes a deal with God. To keep up his end of the bargain, he joins a support group called "See the Light". Comprised of homosexual men and women, they all seem to be brainwashed into thinking that living life as a heterosexual is the better, more righteous option. Michael and Ted pay a visit to Emmett, to let them know they still love him. This excerpt really jumped out at me:


Michael: .... that's the way I'll always remember you.

Emmett: Thanks. I don't think God appreciates it quite as much as you do.

Ted: I think God appreciates it even more, 'cause he created you in His image, at least that's what I was always taught. And since God is love and God doesn't make mistakes, then you must be exactly the way he wants you to be. The way he intended you to be. And that goes for every person, every planet, every mountain, every grain of sand, of every song, every tear. And every faggot. We're all his, Emmett. He loves us all.
