We can thank our gay ancestors for that or you can help build your own culture, of course.<br /><br />@Dana, thanks for the comment. I get what you're saying and you don't sound pretentious. I love that I can communicate with somebody regarding this matter (but not isolating it with gender issues).<br /><br />I have to admit I'm just learning all these things and I might get some things wrong. All inputs are welcome whether they agree with me or they want to correct me.Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340191295121067673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-37588359492829781092009-10-20T03:25:14.556+08:002009-10-20T03:25:14.556+08:00I'll expand on the Christie issue back at my b...I'll expand on the Christie issue back at my blog. Thanks, as always for commenting. <br /><br />The problem about polarization is that one of the two usually gets preference. It's not just difference like a red crayon and a blue crayon. There's the "norm" and the "odd." In that line, I can understand "Gay pride" and "Black pride" because the "pride" isn't about the state of being this or that, but the ownership and the acceptance of being "other" that gets expressed as "pride" because although a person doesn't consciously choose race or sexual preference, a person can flow with that state or struggle against it. By struggle against it, I mean pay homage to that which the person is NOT. <br /><br />Of course, the world isn't that simple. Even with the definitions of race and sexual preference, there are ranges. Variations. Personal pride calls for individuals to consider just how much of the definition he or she accepts and stepping outside set categories.<br /><br />I probably sound pretentious - don't mean to, but the ideas about being interest me.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-28772814612569549992009-10-19T20:06:43.511+08:002009-10-19T20:06:43.511+08:00learning to unlearn is really one tough job to do ...learning to unlearn is really one tough job to do when a culture is already established.<br /><br />the sad part of most popular cultures, relativity doesn't apply. =(Dabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821346444853927056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-64439508248682322492009-10-19T15:21:54.890+08:002009-10-19T15:21:54.890+08:00as they say, variety is the spice of life...as they say, variety is the spice of life...the geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891301133063360374noreply@blogger.com
