I think the issues we have been discussing could be considered "weird" because some things like being a hermaphrodite, aren't things that we talk about on a day to day basis. "Middlesex" honestly has been my least favorite book to read so far. It seems to drag on forever at some points and i just don't enjoy it as much. I think the issues within the books are very interesting, I just don't particularly like the way the author has presented the story.
I don't personally have a problem with GLBT people. Two good friends of mine from high school are gay. I never treated them any differently just because I was straight. The last thing they would have wanted was for their friends to not accept them and look at them like they were different people. I respected then and their choices and I think if two people love each other, then they should have the right to be together with out people passing judgments on them. I feel this is pretty simple,but I of course understand that others have their own personal beliefs and feel that these types of relationships are wrong.
When watching the Westboro Church video I was shocked. I couldn't believe how these people were treating GLBT people. When they went to the funerals of soldiers, I felt that was completely and utterly disrespectful. They had no right to take things that far. It was really disgustung how this "mother" brainwashed her children into thinking that the message she was conveying was the right thing.
