All righty. I'm acting on impulse here, I admit, but this thing is heavy on my mind and I'm infinitely curious about how my readership is going to react and what my online "Friends" think

It kinda seems like every other thing that has been repressed in history. First it's swept under the carpet, then it just explodes into the world. Next thing you know, people can't even remember when it wasn't that way.
Me? I really don't mind homosexuals, they don't weird me out or make me feel uncomfortable in the least. Crimety, tons of people think I'm gay, including my girlfriend's mom! No lie, she does. But I have classmates and friends who you would never expect, but when the question is posed as to what they think on the subject, they will adamantly defend the fact that gays and lesbians are going to hell.
I don't much believe that. Then again, I'm also a Buddhist. But, I was raised for 19 years in catholicism, so I'm quite familiar with the whole 'God's law' business. In fact, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, not two days ago, there were people handing out pamphlets for God. I, uh, didn't accept (sorry Jebus, nothing personal), and when I refused she goes "Alright, but have fun burning in hell!" So you could say that things like this tend to be the exaggerated rantings of someone who tends to take things far too seriously.
I love that you used "Jebus", like Homer did. But yeah, I pretty much agree with Kev here. For a long time, I was homophobic, which could be at the roots of why I hate theater...but that's a different beast all together. I'm no longer homophobic. I was for a time because of a family friend who came out when I was very young. I had a hard time understanding it. But now that I'm a little older, a little wiser, I know there's nothing wrong with it. After all, I've seen two male dogs going at it in the park, and where are the preists leaping out of bushes banishing them to Hell?! And believe me, if that had happened, I'd look just as confused as the poor dog on the recieving end.
