There seems to be a dramatic increase in the amount of 'gay' content in the news. The pregnant man. Prop 8 in Cali.
A year ago, how often was homosexuality in the news? Exactly.
Look at TV shows. Nearly every single adult-targeted television show I've come across has at least one token homosexual. Usually, two. That token character used to be 'colored'. (Do you think the great late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was homophobic? Peace and equality for ALL brothers and sisters. Also 'colored' refers to all non-caucasians, including myself.)
This year seems to have been a year of progression in the GLBT community. It seems things are beginning to take a turn for the better. It seems America might actually be the 'home of the free' soon. That's just one of the reasons I put on that uniform.
One can only imagine. What with racism still an issue, and even gender equality, what will throwing in sexuality do with moving America to a more diverse and hopefully tolerant place to live?
I know one thing. I'm tired of seeing all the hate messages. Yea, sure, these people are exercising their right to free speach, and by all means they should continue to do so. I'm just saddened by the amount of ignorance that still permiates through our society.
I mean really, you'd think that by the beginning of the 21st century mankind would have evolved past "Hmm you differant, me no like! SMASH!" I mean really people. What in the world is the big deal? So what if you neighbors are a couple of guys. That's good! Ask for their advice when you go to redecorate the living room! (Had to insert a stereotypical joke in there somewhere, I know, I'm bad.)
Speak your minds, post on this blog what you think and feel about the projection of alternate lifestyles into the mainstream media! Just expect to be blasted with extreme prejudice if you post anything negative. ;)

UNCG4Heels: They don't go around plastering recruitment posters. My blog was asking what GOLO thinks about how the media keeps bringing it up, and you general stance on their lives. On that note, how is it sick?
NorthWakeDad: Good comment. Only except he has no book deal, no movie to promote. It's all about awareness of the Transgender community. But I do agree, it's kind of tactless to put pictures like that on People magazine. Middle America isn't ready for that yet.
tmedlin: You're right. That was stupid on his part.
OldRebel: Lol, you're probably right. But nobody's perfect.
ChargerNut: How is that perverse? What's wrong with being differant?

No, but the men who claim to speak for him certainly do.
