Go to the Prom with the Opposite Gender or We Will Just Cancel It: Not Flying with Sullivan



Andrew Sullivan replies in quite the defensive matter when he is informed about the two girls in Mississippi who wanted to go to their prom in tuxedos. The school district decided that it would be easier to cancel the whole prom than to let two girls in tuxedos escort each other. I agree with Mr. Sullivan, I believe that since it seems that parts of California appear to be ashamed of diversity, we should shove diversity right back.
This nation needs to take the whole sexuality thing under its wing and not only protect the differences but also flaunt them. Since when do we shun difference, when did being unique become taboo?

Homosexuality in Uganda

A new law in Uganda has banned homosexuality from its borders. In fact if one is found to have had same-sex relations they are not only thrown in jail, but sentenced to death. How can people in this nation be supportive of a minority governed by different laws? On the other hand, maybe people in this state wouldn't even care given that they voted down marriage equality. It's hard to imagine how America could possibly help in this situation; an even scarier thought is that the new laws in Uganda might be a prophesy of what's to come in America. It's already bad enough that people find relationships that have nothing to do with them important, what happens if some go as far to make laws against being gay and then even to the death penalty. It's an interesting thought to imagine the death row in a high security prison lined up with murderers, rapists, serial killers and then your overflow of gay people. Those homosexuals, dangerous in all their capacity they are. What is Uganda thinking, it has larger issues then homosexuality to deal with, such as famine, disease and probably a failing economy. As I elaborate more on Uganda, it is beginning to sound more and more like California.
