So I came home today and needed to just relax for a bit before taking a shower.. I was derping around on Netflix instant watch when I saw there was that 30 Days TV show in our queue.. against better judgement (I guess), I decided to watch this episode where a lady who does not believe in gay couples adopting children joined a gay couple for 4

I should probably start by saying I studied in a Catholic school for half of my life, and I grew up in the Philippines, one of the last two (three?) countries that still restricts its population's access to cheap, effective contraception for fear of 'losing national morals'. Between conservative and liberal, I probably leaned more to the former. Then?

Until I entered a very liberal university, where I made friends who campaigned for the fluidity of gender, and I made at least one friend who genuinely looks forward to having a Sexual Reassignment Surgery. I realized it was simplistic of me to think gay people were embraced everywhere. [I seriously believed everyone found gays vibrant and, as Arashi would say, 'shining'.] It somehow made me want to help them become embraced everywhere, anywhere.

'Your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins.' I agree with you completely. The happiness of gay couples who want to create families should not interfere with the daily life of people who deny freedom for all sexes. It's sad that we're still unable to progress on matters such as this - it's already 2012! Even the Catholic church is loosening up!

thank you for your comment it was very enlightening. I particularly like your quote:

"Your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins"

Totally agree with that and is exactly what people should abide by, but they are NOT. I don't understand peoples obsession with nosing in other's lives. If it's not affecting you, your loved ones, or others.. LEAVE IT ALONE. It's not your business. But, like I said.. people are nosy by nature it seems :||
