Dammit. Now I have to drop Writer's Craft, Take Grade 11 Bio, Then take Grade 12 Bio next semester. Ah well. That's life for ya. @Otirrob Love is a concept I do not thing Any single person understands fully in this world. Much less myself.
Sorry to sound like a bit of a pessimist but this thread just seems to keep running in circles, someone makes a point and then everyone else comes in and agrees. Instead of continuing to complain about how things are right now, why not try to formulate a plan of action, or a strategy? - anything to turn all of these complaints into actual actions, so long as you don't do anything nothing's going to change.
Doing so. Well, I know I've gotten support on the issue here. When it comes to actually doing something, not much can actually be done a lot of the time.
Like a broken rec-Like a broken rec-Like a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-Broken Record-... Well, there's really nothing we can do... at this point in time. Given time, action will happen. *cough*
@Saikyo I disagree. You can change the world. Just start small. One person at a time. Just help those in need. It's not a difficult task. But is an infinitely rewarding one.
I tend to think this is a bit more than just a bunch of people agreeing that intolerance is terrible. I think some actual good has already been done; helping people with various problems, understanding and clarifying things . . . Although I can see where we get in a bit of a rut agreeing with each other all the time.
You raise a good point, but the gears of change are already in motion. The entire "gay revolution" started in the UK if I recall. My uncle has a video documentary about it. Pretty interesting stuff.
One step at a time, One person at a time. And yes, That was something that got done. Something that got done right.
That's... not really the point I was trying to convey, but I agree with you anyway. I was merely stating the fact that action doesn't come out immediately, is all. Curse me and my terrible wording.
Homophobia is fun when you understand that it's people being arses about it as opposed to you actually having problems. They're practically leaving themselves open to the trolling :3 Saikyo, if there are people out there who are actually good with words, I would have to be pretty impressed with the human race. And you're probably better than most people with 'em.
Homophobia is an irrational fear created when the person in question cannot comprehend the same fears into those that they fear. At one point, I felt the same way. The biggest turning point to my understanding was asking my sister (bi) about how she approached other guys and girls to hook up. When you're really young, it's difficult to really grasp the idea that gays are just like you: Same fears of rejection, not attracted to every single same-gender person, and may not even be looking. At least, that's my opinion of what it really is. And then we were in the grey.
Sexuality? Mine? Hmm... I have a thing that might seem kind of unusual to you all, but generally I don't feel any sort of physical attraction towards anybody, I have always disciplined myself to think of their personality and thoughts rather than their looks. I don't consider myself asexual though, I just simply look past physical attraction until I get to know the person or if I decide to date the person in question... So, I suppose that makes me Pansexual? I feel really laid back when it comes to love, I just try to be chill in a relationship because it seems to me that most relationships these days are always so dramatic for little to no reasoning, so I just try to be a reasonable person. So yeah, I don't care who you are or what you look like, as long as you're not a terrible person I'm sure I could love you, lol. :derpe: Also, does anyone know what my sexuality is through this post? I just always went with Pan, but I guess there are people wiser than I am in the area of Human Sexuality. XD
If you want a label to snuggle into, Snowy, that one seems to be a decent fit. Just keep in mind that using Pan to describe yourself has to mean you include all gender types in that equation, including those born one gender who are actually another and those who don't identify with either one. There are also different varieties of asexuality that you might want to look into. I'm not as familiar with asexual terminology as I'd like to be, but I know there are several variants such as grey-A and demisexual. Demi, the experience of sexual feelings only after a romantic connection is made, is an interesting sub-group that I think more people fit into than realize its an option. Labels provide comfort in our hyper-conforming society. In a perfect world they wouldn't exist, but since they do it just feels good to know what others like you are calling themselves. It's an "I am not alone" experience.
