When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me....
What? Resurgence of obsession with the Beatles because hot-straight-girl-on-whom-one-has-an-utterly-hopeless-crush is a fan? Where?In other news, my Evil Gay Agenda is progressing, although not officially. Still banging my head against the concrete wall of conservative homophobic bureacracy that keeps my gay-straight alliance theoretical. I feel

My guess on the no death threats? They just don't get it. I'm running into this a bunch with my new Mormon friends. We'll say something, worry they've been shocked, and discover that it TOTALLY went over their heads because they're living in a different parallel universe where these things just don't happen. ("These things" = queerness, premarital sex, etc.) Did I tell you about how Sister and I really wanted to get thrown out of the Mormon dance once by making out with girls? It's still a plan, but we'll need to find some willing girls who aren't, you know, RELATED to us.
Beatles resurgences are TOTALLY awesome, and need not even be explained by the above. Tho that makes sense, too.

That might be it. I've gotten a few weird looks and more than one uncomfortable cough. The typical response is a moment of puzzlement, and then a sudden dawning comprehension followed by either gales of laughter or a wrinkling of the nose. I wonder what the reception at the winter dance will be like. *nervous*

As for the 'over-their-heads' thing, that might be true--although my cousins got it right away, and they're as sheltered as you can get in the Bible Belt, which is saying a lot. I am suspecting that the anti-gay atmosphere is less pronounced than people think, considering there's at least one boy at school who walks around in midriff-baring shirts and painted-on jeans and holds hands with his boyfriend in the ( ... )

I should TOTALLY fly you and Nennie to Oregon!! That would kick ass! For real, though, you two should tewtally come and visit. :) Shocking Mormons is fun!
That's kind of wild that the anti-gay atmosphere sounds LESS intense at your school than in my MASSACHUSETTS public high school, where this one poor kid totally had to leave the school because of how much crap he took and teachers failing him and stuff. Crazy! I'm pretty sure he was in lots of other trouble too aside from being flaming, but anyway, I am GLAD that is not what you are facing. In fact, I think you enjoy your opposition and would be rather bored in an uber-liberal high school environment... ;)
It is too bad your girlie is straight, but then, you could always get her The Straight Girl's Guide To Sleeping With Chicks and see what that does ( ... )

Yeah, that is weird, innit? O.o Considering that Massachusetts is a bunch of evil gay commies (rock!). I spend a good percentage of time shocking Bible Belters, which I imagine is similar. Funtime! As for enjoying opposition--hee. :D You know me too well.
*giggles at Sleeping With Chicks* OMG that is the best guide ever. Although I'm the one who needs the tips in this situation, I think. >_>
And your queer music rocks Parliament Hill. *love*

However I need to listen to the rest of Rosie's new shiny gay music first.
