Case #24: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is seated at his tea table, which is serving as a writing desk at the moment. A copy of the book Carmilla is in front of him.]

Um. I'd like to know who here is, or has ever been a vampire, or has had intim-...particular experi-...contact wi-...knows a lot about vampires. I'd like to speak to all of you, if possible. There are a few things I'd like to ask about.

[George notices the book in front of him, and tries to move it discreetly off screen, so no one is distracted by it's sexiness.]

They are, I mean, they're way more invincible than us, at least, it's just I realized I didn't want to be explaining the details of how to kill someone, even if they're not here. And most of the stuff that kills them and isn't sunlight would kill a human, too.

Like telling a gay person that you've got a problem with gay people?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Sodomy isn't...a culture.

[But he does look slightly, appropriately ashamed.]

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but being gay isn't a choice, either.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No.

[But it was considered something like a disease in George's time; inherited or even possibly contagious. It could be blamed on upbringing or trauma, and corrected and eliminated if caught in time, and if not: had to be contained.

However, Tony's words have had some of their desired effect, because it has hit George (somewhere around the stomach) that making fun of people with diseases isn't particularly nice.]

[Tony is completely unaware of this so is thinking it's sinking in in the way he wants it to.]

So it's not really fair to be against something that isn't something someone chose, is it?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It isn't fair to be against...the person, I suppose.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Kind of hard to be against who the person is but not the person, isn't it?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No, in fact, it's quite easy to disagree with a person's beliefs without disliking the person.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Being gay isn't a belief, though.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Well, no. Belief isn't the right word.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Right, because it's just a...something you are. Like being a guy, or having brown eyes.
