This story has been in the news for a few weeks now. At first it seemed like a puff piece until people realized that we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the school of thought that says homosexuality is a "chosen" lifestyle. Consider that these tests show that people react differently from one another on a cellular, chemical level. This goes a long way towards proving the theory that sexuality is an inherent thing and not a choice. I can't wait for the day when that is proven for fact because on that day, the world will be able to say "Fuck You," to any religion that has persecuted homosexuals based on what they believe God to have said.
I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him.
Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.
