Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeez, you people are all gonna hate me for being a little more conservative, arent'cha?

Marriage has been and still is defined, and I believe that 'civil union' should perhaps be kept separate. This is not to say that a gay couple can not and should not be in love, it's just my POV from the way I was raised.

There are lots of misconceptions about homosexuality, as well. Like, some people think it's genetic ("born gay"), but it's not--you can have a pair of identical twins with the same DNA, and one can be straight while the other isn't. So it's a choice, really, or a certain... erm, disposition, I suppose is the best word... as in having an affinity for a certain colour. It's not your fault (I say this not in a demeaning way, just for lack of a better fashion of putting it) if you like green better than red, or vice versa.

Well, that's what I think, anyway.

Still, some things bother me about the demonstrations and habitual picketing and such. No offense intended, but I think that gay marriage needs to take a backseat to other pressing issues on the American front.

True, stupid society. Trying to change how we look, think, talk, act, everything... My roommate and I had a long discussion the other night about their being two generations within a few years. We decided that Tara and I, our age group of college students and perhaps highschool seniors are one generation while the other kids are another.

Our generation grew up as technology was becoming more and more advanced. I remember learning how to work DOS and some other stuff that you don't see anymore. On the other hand, kids only 3 or 4 years younger than that generation skipped a good portion of that and have pretty much been thrown right into what our generation's doing. I see 8th graders with cell phones nowadays. Almost all of them, at that. Shoot, cell phones weren't big with my 'generation' until about a year or two ago.

They're growing up more with the internet and have access to all kinds of stuff that we didn't when we were their age. It's just crazy. And they make all kinds of skimpy clothing for like 10 year old girls. A 10 yr old girl doesn't need skimpy clothing!

*steps off soapbox* Anyhoo, that's my viewpoint on modern society...

Oo. Ever read Cat on a Hot Tin Roof? Set deep south 1950's and the main character's Brick. Possibly gay, definatly an alcholic and depressed. Sounds like a great choice for president! ((>.< Sounds a lot like some presidents.))

Yay jellybeans! It's an interesting play....

Hmm...I think it would make a really interesting movie...

It's really interesting. Set 1950's Deep South. Main characters: Maggie, Brick, Big Mama, Big Daddy, Gouper and Mae. Big Daddy's dying cancer and it's his last birthday. Gouper and Brick are his sons who may or may not inherit the land. Wives of course push it. Problem for Brick and Maggie is their marriage is "on the rocks". Basically take that and go through the day. Dunno how to describe it without giving to much away. I really enjoyed reading it.

I like it but I never have time or money to go see stuff. I tend to perfer musicals my favorite of which is a toss between Phantom and Les Miserables. Unfortunatly I've only seen Les Miserables live.

Thats the major stuff anyway. I used to do a lot of community theater, helping one way or another.
