Let’s Try This Again…
Life is still weird. It actually got weirder since the last time I posted. I’m getting used to it, though.
I haven’t done much writing in the past couple weeks, but I think I’m ready to start up again. One of the handwritten First and Last and Always pages got wet somehow, and I have to rewrite it. That should be a good place to start; it’ll be nice to build up some momentum. Some free time is coming up on my horizon, so here’s hoping everything will fall into place.
In the news: Last week, a high school in Mississippi decided to cancel their prom rather than allow a lesbian couple to attend. It plays straight into stereotype, unfair as it may be; another high school there held out until 2008 to hold its first racially-integrated prom. People can be stubborn like that, I guess.
Stepping up to the plate, supporters of the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition (a queer-youth advocacy group) have pledged enough money to hold a “second-chance” prom that would welcome all students, regardless of orientation. I hope it succeeds.
Well, if it’s any bonus, your life isn’t the only one that’s gotten weird (not the same type, but weird nonetheless). I do hope it all falls into place for you, though :]
As for the news stuff…sadly enough, the response/term ‘people these days’ can still be used v.V Hopefully the second-chance prom will succeed.
It looks like there will be dueling proms in Georgia, as the anti-lesbian contingent down there has announced its own second chance prom. So far the court has decided that this is OK, since it is not a school-sanctioned event.
Meanwhile, a school district in Georgia has decided that this whole idea is silly, and approved a gay student’s choice of boyfriend to take to that prom.
What’s going on in your life? If you want to share, I certainly wouldn’t mind hearing from you again.
Oh, sweet. The district that’s decided it’s all silly gives humanity a +1. I also hope poor McMillen will stop being harassed at school @___@;
Hahah, okay. I’ll shoot you an e-mail once I regain coherency/wake up more.
Have things been turning your favor? I enjoy hearing from you/reading your updates (as you can probably tell. …I’m really sorry if I’m sounding like Admiral Obvious).
