Soft Spoken Secrets (Gudang Garam # 5)
Previously
“ Madison you’re out of your mind!” The student was shocked, but didn’t give up. “See…See…”, he said nervously. “She already influenced you, Madison!”
“Oh, for Christ sake!! Get out of my sight, Jeremy…I need to go to class”
“You want to see her! I see… You’ve been recruited… What are you doing with your life, Madison!?”
****************************************
“Mapplethorpe produced a consistent body of work that strove for balance and perfection and established him in the top rank of twentieth-century artists. Also, the frank, erotic nature of some of his work triggered a lot of controversies about the public funding of artworks. Obviously created, mainly by religions associations…He’s also on the list of the most expensive photographers and…”
“And he was a fagot…wasn’t he?”, came Jeremy’s question.
“Yes, he was an American, a photographer, a New Yorker, he liked pasta and he was also gay…” Bette tried to lighten his comment.
“He was not a photographer…He was a pornographer…”
“Well, that’s your opinion, isn’t it, Jeremy? … OK… Your opinion I respect.” Bette gave him his back and continued. Or, at least, tried.
Jeremy didn’t give up.
“God punished him. He died with AIDS and now must be burning in hell!!” He said with a smile as he faced her. His ignorance clearly showed, and as harmful and harsh as his words were, the sad part was they reflected some of the vicious feelings of bigotry in this world.
The class thought Bette was going to beat the boy. She, like a recently freed engaged wild animal, jumped the stairs two by two until she met his chair. The boy was already pale. Bette vociferated millimeters away from his face.
“Don’t you dare to use the names of GOD OR Christ to give weight to your hateful discussion!? Not only gays die from AIDS or lesbians or bisexuals. People like you die with AIDS! Americans, Brazilian, Italians, Japanese… babies how received tainted blood transfusions have died of AIDS. Humans die and also live… live… LIVE with AIDS! You even know if among your friends, your colleagues, someone is infected, boy! What a hell are you thinking?!! How can you be so heartless?!” The words came between her teeth. “NOW! Out! Out of this room… NOW! Out of my classroom! Come back when you show some respect for people!”

Amazing as always Braz!!!
BRAVO, take a bow and all of the curtin calls. That was great, So many people feels like that young man,which is a shame, thanks so much
Wanted to do a happy dance just for you,but I was up and down a ladder today . Thanks so much again.
simply amazing, Thank u:) PPS
Whoa, Braz! That was intense! Marsha & I were about to stand up and clap after Bette’s excellent speech delivery! Awsome update, dear friend. Lucero & Marsha
Yeahhhhh ! came home so tired and defeated, and that beautiful post just gave me back the fighting spirit… Bette’s words (your words) were so stirring…… yeah, yeah I know, Voltaire and the others helped you a little……… but just a little :-) — and by the way, it just reminded me of a very nice quote for one great philosopher (Toddy in Victor Victoria) : “Shame, my dear, is a feeling created by biggots and fake devouts to oppress an innocent humanity” (it’s from memory, so the exact words may be…… but I just love it ;-)) — I could just try to figure Prof. Braz facing stupid students on the same kind of subject : reading your post, I was quite sure it must have happened to you, hn? — and the end, wow ! are we heading to a happy family reunion with Tina, Alice (godmother ?), Bette, Dana, and Helena (hope she won’t finish alone ;-) and of course, Madison. — and, maybe there are reticences from you, honey, but not from me ;-) — check your PMs
Amazing and I can’t wait for Tina to meet Bette.
Hi sweetie, I really like your comments. The are so real. This was again a strong chapter. Looking forward to what kind of stupid things Jeremy will write on Bette. Could it be so stupid it could turn out funny ?
Hey Braz!!!! No worries I haven’t gone anywhere I’ve just been….ummm slowdragging, sorry!!!!! Thanx for posting babe,mwahhhh!!!PPS!
Hello dear! Thank you so much for the kisses…so sweet! As for the chappy, you know just how I feel about it. I can’t wait for you to post the others. I’m rubbing my hands together. GOD you are good. But you know that don’t you? If you don’t, drop me an email and I’ll remind you all the reasons you are. * wink * Hugs my friend.
WOOHOOO That was awesome and Bette you go girl. Please post more, thanks!
Great chapter, although those links you provided us with at the end were quite depressing… it always saddens me to see how bitter and hateful some people can be, and how they would go out of their way to poison everyone around them with their bigotry. As Alice would say; “Why can’t we all just get along?” Thnx Braz!
Wow that was great, please post soon love
Heh Jeremy called Mapplethorpe a faggot. I didn’t know he was a bundle of sticks. LOL
