I have received the emails. The
Facebook messages, and phone calls. "Steve, are you dead? Why haven't
you blogged?" Thank you, for checking on me.
Yes. I know, it has been the longest I've ever gone without blogging. This is due to my school work. But, my absence from blogging was for a good cause. My lack of writing can be
completely blamed on a certain Ethics and Philosophy professor. A
professor, unlike any other I ever met. A professor that started the
semester on "How gay marriage is incompatible with moral ethics."
The fun stopped there.
The whole argument was nothing you
had not heard before. How marriage was only for the promise and purpose
of procreation. That the only valid union was one centered upon coitus.
When the whole class seemed to agree with him, I knew it was going to
be a rough semester. Trust me, I stood up for the team. Every paper, every homework, every assignment this semester was then centered around the fight and struggle for acceptance of LGBT peoples.
There was a six page paper on transgendered couples raising children.
Another on how the dogma of religion is used as a crutch for the
anti-marriage movement.
All of this effort has taken twice as long, and twice and much energy as
any college class should take. I feel I had to stand up, regardless of
the loosing. I have been writing more than I should of invested, then
chucking all my effort at a brick wall. With the 75% and 78% grades I
have been getting back; I know I have probably wasted my time. Standing
up and making an augment to a closed mind.
I may get a "C" in the class.
I'll be more proud of my "C" than any other grade I have ever received.
