okay, so, maybe it's that i'm a bit apathetic as of lately, but i don't wanna follow the elections and stuff...

one of the profs in charge of the student-teacher lgbtq alliances started, like, almost crying at this lecture i went to last week, and then he said the campus isn't as gay friendly as one would think, and then he said that the political atmosphere reminds him of the waves crashing on the shore in newfoundland and that everything's getting stirred up and is turbulent and, yeah, it really sucks, but you know, there's always going to be opposition, right? not everyone's going to agree that we should all be so goddamned gay.

the prof from U of S had an awesome study that she did on homonegativity, showing that, much like racisms and sexisms, homophobia is a changing ism- malleable, if you will- and that sometimes it can be a little more implicit, or, shall I say, harder to see. like, for example, instead of agreeing with "Gay people are disgusting", it's agreed that "Gay people should stop pushing so hard for equal rights." that's homophobic, and the same thing happens with race issues. neoracism, neohomonegativity, neosexism.

well, i haven't noticed that on campus. but the minute i do, i'm quitting my job and moving to brazil to be with cute brazilians.

cheers, me.
