The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon

by Moira Greyland

Getting rid of gender roles amounts to getting rid of adulthood.

And she thinks her PARENTS had fucked up ideas.

What is the real implication of being an adult man or woman? A potential or actual pair bond and a responsibility to others, especially to children.

Wow.

Personally, I think it is disgusting to rob men of masculinity or women of femininity. It would be equally pointless to try to train your cat to be a dog, or vice versa.

This is, apparently, logic.

his conclusions were damaging and absurd.

But she's blind to this in herself.

the issue of homosexuality is inextricably linked with pederasty and pedophilia

What

The requirement within the community is to keep the intergenerational aspects hidden from straights until the world is “ready” to accept this “freedom.”

Wow

Yes, the author has never felt exploited,

If ahe truly believes she wasn't, THEN SHE WASN'T.

This boils down to wanting children unprotected so they can be sexual targets.

So you're saying that giving children rights is wrong?

There you have it. Pedophilia is the inevitable result of limitless sexual “freedom”, and its defenders are hiding in plain sight in the gay community.

Uh

My initials were no accident: “MEDB”, or Medhbh (Maeve) as it would be rendered in Gaelic, was the name of the evil queen in the most famous tale in Irish mythology, The Táin Bó Cúailnge or “Cattle Raid of Ulster.”

If you think Medb was a villain or an "evil queen" you are just ignorant.

My mother’s perspective on my birth might lend perspective to everything else in this book. She told me again and again that I “killed her.”

Yeah, I can agree that's upsetting

I know that in other pagan rituals, the stated intention is to get the “spirits” or “gods and goddesses” to inhabit the bodies of the ritual participants and then for them to have sex with one another as though human beings were an earthly singles bar for disembodied spirits.

Damn this girl is ignorant.

Mozart was inspired by God,

Oh was he then

anything Mozart wrote was much holier

Lol

Although the Internet claims my mother and father founded the AOR in the ‘50s or ‘60s, that is absurd considering they did not meet until 1962. I first remember my mother and father holding AOR rituals in the ‘80s; I was there.

This doesn't mean they didn't conceive of it much earlier.

a bunch of fat, oversexed creeps—whether

Given that Moira herself later became obese, this is so hypocritical. Also shallow.

in my view, a hideous blasphemy.

As is most of nodern Christianity

Gnostic Catholicism. I know. I know. That’s a bit like dry water or vegan hamburger.

Wow.

if God is real, we do not have the ability or the right to decide what, or who, God is. If we are Christians, we do not have the ability or the right to decide that God is something other than what He has told us plainly that He is.

This is so naive.

The cake is a lie.

Wow. Here's the thing: Walter and Marion and Lisa were all terrible people. But not because of stuff like this. They were terrible because they abused children. Full stop. The rest of it should have been left alone.

Why not just call it a bizarre casserole rather than pretending it is a chocolate cake?

Wow, this girl knows literally nothing about baking.

I didn’t dare come out of that particular closet for a very long time,

Lol

Let us not spend more than a moment imagining the gruesome picture of middle-aged fat people committing consensual adultery in the living room.

Wow

eyes…

Good god she's ignorant

Historically, handfasting was more like a betrothal, and if it were happening as it had back then, the engaged couple would never have behaved as though they were married.

Incorrect. It was legal but temporary marriage.

I was on reasonably good terms with my mother and father—at

I guess she felt she had to vilify them only later?

There are huge numbers of soprano voices out there. Real mezzo or alto voices are a much rarer thing. One reason I know this is that I train and audition around twenty sopranos to one real alto.

Okay, THIS is true.

Pardon me for not being surprised when I heard, many years later, that Dr. Barlow had lost his life to AIDS.

Nice.
