The Puzzling Nature of Human Nature

Drag queens standing on a float in a Pride parade.

There is no denying the simple fact that

humankind is fascinating in its multifarious

variations. More than that, it is transfixing

to discover the difference between humans

in their orientation as humans and so we are

invariably drawn to note that though we are

basically designed by nature in sharing major

biological characteristics, the formula is not

completely infallible, as wondrous as it is.

One can live a lifetime without encountering

the reality of an alphabetical diversion from

the certainties and verities dividing the sexes.

Who might ever  have suspected -- not I -- the

very existence of those who fit into such

perplexing categories as 2SLGBTQQIA+? 

Accounting for a portion of extended humanity

constituting a biological mystery to the eternal

acknowledgement of male and female..full stop.

Now that society is made fully aware...shrug.

We are what we are, all reaching out for health

and happiness and good luck with that. As for

sexual orientation, preferences and demands;

take care and caution; no one appreciates being

force-fed to celebrate that which is of no moment

to them. If 2SLGBTQQIA+ bespeaks a condition

of alter-normalcy so be it. Prudence in flaunting

that normalcy as a condition of pride in garish

flamboyance is unappealing to those prepared 

to live and let live. A mutual U-turn of discreet 

respect for others' sensibilities has been too long 

in waiting. Mutual respect is there for the taking.
