Ismene

"What? Antigone, what are you up to? What dangerous thing have you got in mind now?"

This quote says that Antigone probably thinks of dangerous things a lot. Ismene seems reluctant to go along with what Antigone has in mind because she's tired of all her mischief.

Dear Darla,

Christinie is not a scenie-weenie.

Now I feel like one whenever I wear my leopard print bag (which I hardly ever do because of those scenie-weenies).

Love, Alfalfa

To Further Explain...

I was not referring to anyone specifically in my other super long post.

I understand that you can't quickly change your opinions because someone got offended.

I would like to point out that I try to follow the Bible, with exceptions. The Bible says that women are to wear head coverings in church/public. I don't follow that. It also says to love your neighbor, which is why I am so angry at conservative Christians who hate homosexual or bisexual people. If they are Christians, they would try to love their neighbor. 

 I would also like to point out that the Bible was written my humans. Males humans, to be specific. While I think that the Bible was definitely inspired by the word of God, I also keep in mind that it was written by humans, and then edited by humans. So if God loves everyone NO MATTER WHAT, then I think he'll love you if you have feelings for the same sex as yourself.

In fact, it is part of my belief system, and I want to do what I can to stop the hate that comes from some people, on both ends of the pickle spectrum.

For the people that believe that same sex relationships are wrong, please put yourself in their situation. Having feelings for someone, that feel right, and all the while you get told those feelings are wrong.

Ew.

I don't like labels.

I think people should be able to be what they are, who they are, without being stuck with a name that does not hold any description for who they really are.

The end.

Same Sex Relationships

I love the word Matthew T. used for homophobic people (those who discriminate against gay or bisexual people): ignorant. Not to say there are not people who've grown up with parents who believe this, and making it harder for them to accept certain people. But you need to keep an open mind. 

Being gay is not a choice, just like being straight is not a choice. A person can't wake up one day and say, "Yesterday I was straight, so today I'll be gay." Just like I can't wake up and say, "Well, I've been white for a while, so today I think I'll be Asian." We were born with the sexual preference we have, and if you want to change it, have fun trying.

So many people have been killed for liking or being with the same sex. It's sickening how cold-hearted people can be. There were 1,472 victims of hate crimes in 2006 because of a sexual orientation bias, which disgusts me. Why would someone be so compelled to kill someone for their sexual orientation? I can't understand it. Which brings me to talk about how religion plays into this.

There's this kid in my youth group that said he "hates all gays" and basically wants them all to be killed. He was mainly talking about two men together, but that doesn't matter. He said they were disgusting people. In my religion, United Methodism (a denomination of Christianity), I am supposed to forgive those who hurt me, offend me, or do some kind of wrong. But I am having trouble coming to some kind of forgiveness for this kid and for anyone committing hate crimes. I really don't know how. If they're going to keep hating people, I don't really don't want to.

I also saw a religious group of men in front of Washington Mutual with signs that said things like, "1 Man + 1 Woman : God's Marriage," which, in my opinion, is ridiculous. This sign was referring to what the Bible says on this matter which is somewhere along the lines of 'one man must not lay with another man.' In the time that was written, it was most likely referring to the rulers that had sex with young boys. Also, I don't get the whole point of being against same sex marriage. How the hell would it affect anyone else? Why would you want to take away someone's rights to have something to say that they will be with the person they love for the rest of their lives? 

It makes me so upset to see this kind of ignorance. 

In "My So-Called Life" Jordan sounded like an idiot.

"It doesn't feel like like Friday." Well, that's because it isn't friday. He sounds a little like a stoner. That's a good man you picked there, Angela.

I think The Mask of Zorro is not a very good movie, and Antonio Banderas looks better with a big beard.
