Fumes and Dreams
I just got the most "upsetting" PM on the forums. I'm not sure if the word "upsetting" is the most apropiate, but it's the only one I can think of right now.
Anyway, there is a girl who is asking for my help with an essay she has to do about gay rights and I'm really happy to help her. The thing is that she said something like that by helping there I would be making "Free publicity for the gay community"
My first thing on my mind was: What the fuck?
Am I being irrational? Do I have the right to be upset about this? I don't know why, but it bothers me a lot. Like if gay is something I'm trying to sell.
I'm not mad at the girl at all, in fact she's a very sweet girl. Is just that that comment made me realize that there are a lot of people out there that think like that. Like if Homosexuality was something we were trying to sell or convert people into.
Do think I'd be this unhappy if I could convert people into "Homosexuality"? Do you think they'd be atractive straight men left in the world if we could turn them gay?
*sighs*
On other happier news, I had a dream about Mar last night. This was the first time I dream about an online friend. It was nice. We were looking at a book with pictures (can't remember what it was) and we were talking about colleges. I was interested in applying to hers and she was telling me it was really hard to get in.
It was fun.
PS: I need a James Bond icon.
