OMAGAWD, cud you like, videotape yourself, like, making out wit a girl, and like, post it online? That wud be hawt.
((why would you… why would you sent this… you… you didn’t even warn me. I can’t come up with a clever response to this shit…))
Here’s why I can’t do that:
1) I’m too much of a lesbian. It intimidates women when you just straight up say “I like women”. They all prefer the “maybe I’ll touch your boob if I’m drunk enough… maybe” approach.
2) I’m really only interested right now in making out with Toby Turner, David Tenant, Damon Albern, John Alliss, and Brian Berris. All of whom are men.
3) I dont own a descent video camera and I think to highly of myself to post one is low quality
4) I think to poorly of myself to even make the effort to make something like this happen cause I’ve already resigned myself to it never happening.
5) Lrn 2 Eng 4 rel.

Survey: Half of Americans Support Legal Gay Marriage
by Frank Newport | GALLUP Politics
PRINCETON, NJ — Fifty percent of Americans believe same-sex marriages should be recognized by law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages — down slightly from 53% last year, but marking only the second time in Gallup’s history of tracking this question that at least half of Americans have supported legal same-sex marriage. Forty-eight percent say such marriages should not be legal.
These results — based on Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs poll, conducted May 3-6 — come at a time when Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks on “Meet the Press” Sunday have at least temporarily brought the issue of same-sex marriage back into the news spotlight. Biden said he was “absolutely comfortable” with the idea that same-sex couples and heterosexual couples are “entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties.” President Obama, however, has stopped short of saying that he favors legalizing same-sex marriage.
Last’s year’s Values and Beliefs survey marked the first time in Gallup’s history of tracking this issue thata majority favored legalization. Prior to last year, the highest level of support had been 46%, measured in 2007. In 1996, when Gallup first asked the question, 27% supported it, while 68% were opposed.
The issue of same-sex marriage sharply divides the American public along political and religious lines. Almost two-thirds of Democrats support legalizing it, compared with 57% of independents and 22% of Republicans.
Catholics are right at the overall average in their views on same-sex marriage. The Catholic Church officially opposes same-sex marriage and Biden himself is Catholic. Significantly less than half of Protestants approve, while those who identify with no religion overwhelmingly approve.
Implications
The trend on Americans’ attitudes on same-sex marriage has not followed an entirely consistent trajectory. While the percentage in favor increased to 46% in 2007, it slipped to 40% in the following two years. In somewhat similar fashion, last year’s increase to 53% support has edged back down slightly this year to 50% — not a statistically significant change, but not a continued increase, either.
This year’s results underscore just how divided the nation is on this issue. As a result, President Obama’s campaign strategy team obviously is continuing to grapple with how to handle it — with the vice president on the one hand essentially endorsing legalized gay marriage, while the administration on the other hand stops just short of the same pronouncement. Obama’s core constituency of Democrats strongly supports the issue, as do the majority of the important election group of independents. The president has said his view on the issue is “evolving,” so it is possible he will eventually go on record as supporting gay marriage, but for now, he officially remains opposed.
The more I study/research before I work on the meat the plot of ‘Aesthetics’, the more I worry about offending people… and not even just offending, just inaccurately portraying a trans man or blind person… it worries me so.
