| "Twisted Nerve" is stuck in my head... that whistling... it's driving me nuts... Yeah I finally got the KBV1 soundtrack and it rocks, aside from the whistling that's making my brain swell. Anyways, I just saw "The Laramie Project," a really powerful play production at CSUN, the true story of a gay hate crime that took place 5 years ago in Wyoming. It was amazingly well constructed, covering all viewpoints on gay hate, and really made me think... I was at some point somewhat homophobic, but several years ago my receptivity to differences grew and my views changed. I know a number of gay people and some of them are the nicest and coolest people I know. However, I do know a few homophobic people, and some being my friends, I've tried to assess their opinions on why they feel the way they do. Their arguments have some strengths, so I won't be too quick to criticize them for how they feel, but I just wonder how some people in this world can feel justified enough to torture and murder someone for being who they are. I can understand the existence of homophobia because it's human nature to fear what one can't understand, but hatred to that extent? And they think they're justified? Some people can do evil things and perhaps that may not be under their control, but everyone has a conscience... *sigh* I'm bored and I need something to get my mind off of matters. Ah yes, sleep. Daylight Savings ends and I'll have myself an extra hour of it. |
