So because it's now Pride Month and the month of the raunchy LGBT Pride Parades, we also gotta celebrate open perverts who also were likely molested as children and then paint it as something glorious and "completely normal", okay, and healthy? Something positive to aspire to be? And then all of the sudden and celebratory graphics on the pages it's just....too extra.
This is what the Rainbow Committee means when they say that they want people to celebrate being who they are and to "be themselves."
Bio:
"Kiyoshi Kuromiya was born on May 9, 1943, in Wyoming at the Heart Mountain Concentration Camp, where his family had been relocated to from Monrovia, California, where Kuromiya grew up. Both Kuromiya's parents were born in California and after 15 years of living in Monrovia and a year between Arizona and Nevada in 1961, Kuromiya decided to leave the West Coast to go to college in Philadelphia to study at the University of Pennsylvania. Kuromiya labels his own motivation to move to Philadelphia in 1961 as due solely to the name "City of Brotherly Love," and Kuromiya's activism truly began in the 1960s when he became involved in civil rights organizing.
Kiyoshi Kuromiya came out as gay to his parents when he was roughly 8 or 9 years old living in California and says that he was fairly sexually active. Kuromiya, who went by Steve instead of Kiyoshi at the time, the early '50s, mentioned in an interview with Tommi Mecca in 1983 that he did not know any of the terminology due to a lack of literature—he had never heard the word gay and didn't know what a homosexual was. As a result, Kuromiya utilized the Monrovia Public Library in order to learn more about the identity that he knew "was very important to him."
Kuromiya was a third-generation Japanese American and grew up primarily attending Caucasian schools in the Los Angeles suburbs, he says in an interview with Marc Stein in 1997. He was arrested in a public park with a 16-year-old boy when he was only 9 or 10 for lewdness and was put in juvenile hall for three days as punishment. Kuromiya mentions in his interview with Stein how his being arrested made him feel like a sort of criminal without knowing it, and left him with a feeling of shame that forced him to be secretive about his sex life—even early on."
When he heard Philly was the "City of Brotherly Love", in his mind he probably thought,
"Oh golly, oh boy! I get to finally see and meet all the boys. I can become brothers with them, be part of the family, sex and mingle with them and no longer be a single gay man. That sounds absolutely fabulous. I'm totally moving there."
Real Talk:
How the hell was he already sexually active at the ages of 8 or 9 years old, going out alone with older / adult predators (even 16 year old male predators), and exposing himself out in the open in public parks? Why were his irresponsible parents allowing him to do all this this freaking young?!
Also, he wasn't arrested and put in juvie for a mere 3 days for being gay, but for being that damn lewd. Even at age 8, you know better than to run around naked and having sex in the open like that. Whether you are a kid or an adult, you should feel shame when you do the wrong things. And no, the general public doesn't need to know about your sex life or your kinks (example: exhibitionism).
And since most gays were not openly gay back then, by that logic it means that it would be even harder to find another fellow gay without getting met with backlash, unless you were already being groomed, violated, or preyed upon and then made a part of a secret network of older / adult predators. Also, most children in the US were not having sex that early back then (unlike nowadays).
You cannot tell me that this dude Kiyoshi Kuromiya wasn't molested, preyed upon, or raped when he was very, very young. Either by a young predatory male (who was likely molested or raped himself) who was between ages 8 and 17, or an older ass predatory rapist male adult in or outside of his family.
Kiyoshi might have been considered a non-Black Civil Rights ally by some to a degree, but just like the traitorous anti-reparationist Bayard Rustin (Black homosexual that was a part of the Civil Rights Movement, but claimed gays are the new n1gg3rs as Blacks "already have rights"), he was piggybacking and using the Black Civil Rights Movement as a launchpad and come up in order to promote his real agenda...which was the LGBTQ one. Be careful with these "allies" and Shaun Kings out here.
