I went to mall yesterday. Paul told me that he needed to take something back, so I drove, and the adventure began. One store at the mall gave me a very weird vibe. This one store called Hollister felt a bit disturbing. I have never seen that much sex appeal in one store. The mannequins were thin but ripped, as if too say "this tight shirt does ( Read more... )

Noone on my floor has talked to me about the "national crisis" over gay marriage, for obvious reasons. Most people on my floor seem to be fairly open minded, with a few exceptions, such as Paul's roommate who tried to convince me the other day that I am gay because of my upbringing, and a devout Catholic who switched rooms because after finding out that her roommate is a lesbian. Okay, maybe my floor isn't that open, but it's far more open than the average place. The reason why they are so interested in my love/sex life is because I am something they are not used to, I'm like the Zulu warrior with white face paint and a spear.

The only time I heard anyone at college talk to me about the why gay marriage is should remain illegal, the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to gay people, and why there is nothing wrong with eliminating the seperation of church and state. When I went to a Campus Crusade for Christ meeting earlier this year (for an English paper), they had a speaker who talked about the "moral crisis" our country was going through. A large part of this "crisis" was the Supreme Court's ruling on Lawrence v Texas. The main "crisis" however, was exposing Christian students to new ideas.

Most of the people I have met in college are rational people who do not force their beliefs on others. These irrational people who force their beliefs on others still make up around half of the US population, and two thirds of all elected officials, so Bush's endorsement, or near endorsement of a Constitutional ban on gay marriage is really not that surprising. This country is still very backwards.
