A little bit of queer

Sometimes you stumble across something queer in an enviroment where you never suspected it. Such things always makes me happy, and today I got really really glad. I'm watching "Beck - Monstret" ("Beck - the Monster") which is a swedish movie, a part of a series of movies about the criminal investigator called Beck and his group of polices, solving crimes. Kind of nice movies I think, and perfect for making the time move a little bit faster an ordinary friday afternoon.

This Beck guy's got a pretty strange neighbour who often asks Beck to have a drink with him. Just a few minutes ago, he called Beck out to the balcony to offer him a drink in his apartment. Then, just out of nowhere, he asks Beck if he often comes across transvestites at work. When Beck answers no and wonders why the neighbour asked, the neighbour says that he's a bit interested of that, "wearing a bra and so on". Beck then ways "Well, try it" but then the neighbour says "No, no no... But maybe a little handbag..." After a bit of discussion he adds that a scarf might be nice.

It's those little pieces of queer, scattered around in the ordinary society, that makes me so happy. It feels so good to know that even Beck's neighbour might be a transvestite, that thoughts about gender and sexuality pops up in everyones mind once in a while, no matter if they're otherwise connected to our little queer society or not. That means that it's not we who are strange and has made some strange stuff up, it shows that it's actually the society that's strange for denying people their right to do whatever they want, feel whatever thay want and think whatever they want.

That makes me happy.

Maybe we'll get a chance to see the neighbour in a scarf, carrying a little handbag in a future movie? I sure hope so.

If this made my day, that would make my year.
