this morning, i frantically wrote a Spanish composition that argued against the legalization of gay marriage (had to write two pages in 40 minutes...yikes). In class, I offered a brief explanation, which of course, was met with appalled looks and claims of homophobia (WHAT?!?). My entire class now thinks that I'm crazy because I prefer the greater amount of agency that living outside of heteronormativity provides (which, if you hadn't guessed, was the crux of my arguement). At one point, I said in English, "Look, it's not that I have anything against queers that want to marry, I just think that they should consider the future costs of emersing themselves in the heterosexual system."
Two people actually shook their heads at me in disgust.
I just decided that I'm looking forward to graduating because this event reminded me that attending college as an undergrad is not an indicator of one's capacity to think.
but, as dc would say, whatever.
but do i hate what he is
or do i want to be him
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, virgin
buddy, you got too many brambles
hiding under these bushes
buddy, you got too many brambles
but i always liked a good storm
always good for a storm
i stole this and made it masculine. but, again, whatever.
