Stupid, Prejudiced, Close Minded Bigots

it's funny, other people are always saying how prejudiced and close minded people are in this area, but i don't usually notice it nearly as much as they do. maybe its because i don't want to. whatever the reason, i noticed it today. in second period, we had a study hall, and i heard a couple people talking about tiffany and tiffany. i knew already, because rachel had told me so, that there had been a lot of talk since the two of them had gotten together, and it wasn't as though i hadn't expected otherwise or not believed her. but actually hearing it is something else. i guess its mostly due to the fact that when i first started really hearing about gay and lesbian and all that stuff was in upward bound. in upward bound, everyone is exceedingly tolerant of such stuff. my freshman year, when we were introducing ourselves to each other we had to say so many things about ourselves, and one person told us he was gay. since, i have met two other people who are openly gay, one who is bi, and one who is pretty sure he isn't anything. so ever since this topic of conversation has been introduced, i've been very comfortable talking about it. at least, if i wasn't at first, i certainly am now. and to be honest, even with controversial topics being delivered on the point of gay marriage, i've never really heard people argue against people being gay. i know people do, don't get me wrong, but i've never actually heard it. and i was aware that there had to be people against tiff and tiff being together, but my close circle of friends were all for it, especially seeing as tiff e. has been one of krystal's best friends for a long time, and everyone liked tiff w. ever since she moved from alaska. and i don't really get much of school opinion since i'm locked away in the band room for the two periods that i'm at school. ah well, people are stupid.
