a few words about what I think…

Just blogging to blog

I have to say, this class has opened my eyes to so many things that I once ignored.  It is amazing to be so aware of the many issues we have discussed and to see them in action all the time.  I went to the beach this week and there was a gay couple by the water taking pictures of themselves, like any normal couple.  Well I could see the entire population laying on the beach did not think this to be like any normal couple.  I felt so bad that they have to endure such criticism for only loving a person.  However, I can say for myself that this class has made me a better person, because I can challenge myself to look at situations that are discriminating to a person and find that at the root of us, we are all the same.  And in that principle I can appreciate everyone, even if I don’t agree with what they are doing.
