Nothing we haven't seen before, of course.

And I really wish I weren't preaching to the converted here. I need more intolerant friends, just so I can have the pleasure of winning them over to the side of light and sweetness. Youse guys are too nice. *pretends to scowl*

(Of course, I'd probably drive them, and myself, batty first, but that's not the point)

Edit: It's apparently originally from here.

Man, I'm tired. I must have what Ana had. *falls asleep*

The article emotionally doesn't work for me. I approve of its message, but it just doesn't work emotionally, because I have trouble remembering that I'm straight. I'm too used to stories where the main character is male, so being attracted to men would be homosexual. And I don't think I self-identify as female. I just don't view myself with gender. Gender isn't an attribute that is part of my self-identity, it is an attribute that I know to mention on forms and such and that society gave me - like being Caucasion/white. It's just one of those things I was told I am and so when people ask that's what I say I am. But really, I'm just a person. And I'm attracted to men. Which means I get called straight, which is easier so hey win for me. But I'm just a person who is attracted to men.

ummm ok. I could have written that whole long story in one sentence - imagine if everyone was gay and straight people were the odd ones out.

Sorry, it didn't work for me on any sort of emotional or literary level...

You need to write at this sort of level to get through to certain mindsets.
