Just some observations about Mash this year. Part 2

Second part of my Mash Observation Post.

Fourthly, The Gays were out. If nothing else, the queer people of this land also came out in full support of this Mash. I guess many of them were probably scouting or recruiting and they made their presence known in the vulgar Mash spirit as well. While I have no objection to them enjoying themselves and sleeping with whoever they choose, just like women though some of their behavior was also totally disgraceful. There was this particular group along the Lamaha embankment in the vicinity of Vlissengen road that was back-balling and carrying on without a care in the world. It was a spectacle to behold and behold is just what people did, along with the taunts and insults that usually accompany them. It’s because of behavior like this that gays find it hard to gain acceptance into society and for the most part, all of them are then branded with the same derogatory term “Antiman”. Free enjoyment for all but again, have some freaking decency.

Finally, the Kids. I was probably most disappointed about this group. These are the babies of society but yesterday these ‘babies’ could have been seen in tight revealing clothing, showing off what they obviously don’t yet have. Some of these lil children (under the age of 10) were even wearing make-up and this totally pissed me off, what the fuck is wrong with some Guyanese mothers that they would dress or allow their kids to dress in this manner. The answer for that is beyond my comprehension, they’re probably still on the cheap crack that they’re still using or maybe and this is sad, probably grooming to kids to follow after mommy and daddy and work the streets. I tell you some people should not be allowed to have responsibility for a rabbit much less a child. At about 10pm last night, walking along Vlissengen road in the vicinity of Dowding street, in front of a stereo system, there was this half dressed little girl, no older than 10, wining and dancing very vulgarly while men just stood around staring and ogling over here. It was despicable. The police and public health officers were on patrol yesterday but what I saw yesterday had me thinking that the Social/Welfare officers should also be working on Mash day.

All of yesterday, just reaffirmed the belief that Mash is one big, vulgar experience and with every passing year Guyana is denigrating into a deeper state of lawlessness. A quick survey would reveal that many of the revelers have no idea what they were celebrating. For them, like Main Street Lime, it is another government sponsored event to wear skimpy clothing, drink rum, and behave with abundant vulgarity.
