Okay, third day and I've already fallen off the wagon. What a world. Gonna have to figure out the best time to write. Morning may be it, we'll have to wait and see. Now to the real "touchy, feely stuff."
Yup, last night was interesting. The "Identity Lounge." I've never been to a real lounge, but I don't think they're supposed to be that cold. It's kinda weird as a straight person to hear about the struggles of the gay community, I can't idenify in any way with their feelings. I can be sympathetic and supporting, I guess, but I can't really understand what they're going through. There isn't anything else that I know of that is so fundamentally inside yourself and at the same time so taboo in our societies. I wonder if it is biological or mental or what. And are there people out there who truely don't know that they have a different orientation. What about me? I've never even considered that I wasn't straight, but does that just mean I'm limiting myself? And REALLY can't identify with the transgendered crowd, how is it to feel that you are a different gender than you were born? Doesn't that determine your gender? And from such an early age for Claudine. Are most children's self-identities developed in first grade anyway? But it was definitely good to hear her story, I've never heard a transgendered person's story firsthand. Hmm Oh and the bubbles were fun, but only when I could make them and they didn't attack my head! Yes, and must ask a question. I've been told that there was a person there who is gay but hasn't come out to the campus yet, dare I ask??
Must play tennis!...
After tennis thought...must be more encouraging, instead of just not unsupporting.
