Times Keep Changing

He enjoys musicals and Disney; has always worked an odd schedule, and dresses like a cowboy. When Algae Eater informed me that our roommate was gay, I actually wasn't all that surprised. Oddly enough it made more sense to me. (And it really didn't bother me because we were never that close which gave me the idea that I'm not his type . . . and I'm bigger than he is.)

I'm in a manual labor job that often requires heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, etc. So it's not too often that we have girls even apply for the job, let alone (after they find out what the job is like) decide to work with us. For the first time ever though we have two girls, one is my cousin who worked in the Navy for a number of years and the other is a lesbian.

Some people really do get freaked out just being around homosexuals, I use to. Over time I've come to realize that their just like the rest of us as long as you avoid talking about their dating status ;) For some reason I've become comfortable around them more than I'd ever thought that I could be.

I have a strong belief that homosexuality is wrong. After discussions with friends about the political issues about equal rights I've decided that my best option is just to force everyone to be straight. I know this isn't going to happen, but for me it's just the easiest answer to a difficult issue. But no matter how wrong I may find such practices, I still do enjoy both my roommate and coworker for who they are, not what they might do.
