The Republic of Heterosexuality is a curious thing. It is a state of constant turmoil, due to the push-and-pull nature of its two parties: Men and Women. These two parties can never seem to agree on anything, whether it's dinner etiquette or wardrobe. As such, The Republic's state is one of constant chaos, where skirmishes and battles are waged in daily warfare. In contrast, Queeria is subdivided into several parties, the two main being Gays and Lesbians, and of course, the various others (such as Trannies, Inters, and None-of-the-Aboves). While minor skirmishes between the groups are possible, they remain isolated incidents...for the most part, the parties of Queeria keep to themselves while acknowledging one another in social settings such as gay clubs or political functions.
The problem with this peaceful seperation, of course, is that ironically the people of Queeria suffer from a lack of communication with one another. Sure, the Men and the Women of the Republic may be constantly at each other's throats, but that also means that they remain in contact with one another. They enjoy a kind of openess with one another and with other members of their party. Gays, Lesbians, and the like, however, seem to suffer from their isolation, remaining in their small, personal groups. It brings to mind the quesiton of how united our nation really is: a peaceful coexistence or a self-defeating hallucination? For now, I'll stay in the Republic, relaying information back. The question is: what will be done with it?
