And we don't need to. <br /><br />Just like we can't pinpoint the exact time/event when it tipped from LGBTs being judged by religion to the present where religions are judged by how they welcome LGBTs. And we still don't need to. <br /><br />But it's refreshing to be on the back side of the slope sliding towards justice. <br /><br />The long arc of history may well bend toward justice - but it still seems to be moving at glacial speed.Bryan Bedellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276355924105792215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006001324601911557.post-61590946578601467002009-09-25T23:47:04.253-04:002009-09-25T23:47:04.253-04:00Finally, I love this: "They are what they are...Finally, I love this: "They are what they are, it's not coming out, its growing up..."<br /><br />Just like it should be.bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753516077447627640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006001324601911557.post-80581037258512337242009-09-25T23:41:42.147-04:002009-09-25T23:41:42.147-04:00Third, and here's what I was rolling in my hea...Third, and here's what I was rolling in my head for the Bubble after reading this article and then the GLSEN report on harassment in school: There is something very, very developmentally appropriate about coming out in middle school. This is not only the time that kids try on new personalities and new groups to see what fits. It is also the beginnings of sexual desire and girlfriends and boyfriends and initial gropings and trying to understand where it all fits. Have you read Middlesex? It does a fabulous job of portraying this.bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753516077447627640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006001324601911557.post-51645900626527268192009-09-25T23:38:39.208-04:002009-09-25T23:38:39.208-04:00Wow, so many comments, so little time.

First of all: it's 2009 already.<br /><br />Second, what a fun football clip! as someone who just came from a HS football game and could think of nothing but the pretty colors in the uniforms, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Would I like that show?bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753516077447627640noreply@blogger.com
