Maybe if u get drunk enough, there is not such thing as genders/sexes any more, and u can just love and connect with ppl based on who u r. I think what makes us all human is the fact that we all ‘just want 2 cum’ and keep our species alive. Even though we are part of a ’subculture’, we need to remember that we are just part of God’s Evolution.
By separating sexual pleasure from the species compulsion to reproduce, and linking that divorce to God's evolution, Carles proposes a radical reimagining of the religious function, not as reconciling us to biological constraints but to liberating us from them into a deeper and more open-ended spirituality. We can become who "we R" not by limiting ourselves to the prerequisites of survival but by connecting with other members of the species outside of that biologically determined paradigm. Homosexuality becomes a radical will to power, a way of becoming a human god, moving beyond the necessities of nature. When Carles mentions the need to be "Drunk enough" he is perhaps talking about being drunk on hubris. Or perhaps the implication is that the holy spirit only can enter into us when we move beyond animal rutting and quasi-estrus cycles to higher forms of love, as Plato suggested in the Symposium.
Having established that homosexual love, which many only glimpse in ecstatic, euphoric states in which their mental functioning is affected by drugs, is a spiritual gateway, Carles then ponders its fate within capitalistic, institutional strictures, which recast this spiritual striving as a kind of criminal transgression: "Worried that I might have committed ‘altbro rape’, the alt version of the popular 300 year old meme ‘bro rape.’" This is part and parcel with California's recent efforts to forbid gay marriage and delegitimize it. The true import of this, Carles suggests, goes beyond the disenfranchisement and implication that citizens have different rights on the basis of the fiction of fixed "sexual orientation"; the real significance is that Prop 8 enshrines in the state's constitution a kind of refusal of higher spiritual love and itself constitutes a rejection of love. The result is that spiritual aspiration in California must be failed in the cloak of humor; aspirants must act as though it is all a joke while being quite in earnest. Then perhaps someday, as Carles notes, the idea of higher love can transcend its own alibi and achieve acceptance under a new guise of laughter. "I feel like if we took our humor to the mainstream, there would be no stopping us. Looking 4ward 2 my future."
