elfinblaze- I'm going to link to my tumblr again, in case anyone thinks I don't update my LJ enough. XD
- Aldi is currently selling Gingerbread House building kits. I have one. ^_^ I get to be the witch building a gingerbread house for Christmas! Woohoo!
- Sue-Ann Post made me laugh when I read her book The Confession of an Unrepentant Lesbian Ex-Mormon. She writes:
I think for many gays and lesbians who grow up in fundamentalist religions the equation goes something like this: the Church says gays and lesbians are immoral and perverted. I think I might be a lesbian so therefore I must be immoral and perverted. It may have been inherited Dutch arrogance but my line of thinking was more like this: the Church says gays and lesbians are immoral and perverted. I think I might be a lesbian but I'm not immoral and perverted. Therefore the Church is wrong about gays and lesbians.
That's pretty much how I felt about the Catholic Church and its stance on women. "The church thinks women are less important than men because they can't be church leaders or Popes. I'm a woman and I'm not less important than men, therefore the church is wrong."
- You'll have to excuse me for not being surprised:
Vote on gay marriage fails in first Australian state
A bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the Australian state of New South Wales has failed in a narrow vote of 19 to 21.
- Older people freaking out over "kids these days" is nothing new:
Freaking Out over Adolescent Rebellion . . . during WWII
In these days when juvenile delinquents fill the jails, when homes for fallen girls are crowded, when teenage prostitutes throng every city and run after soldiers, when smoking, drinking, immoral, criminal youth has become the greatest moral problem in America, some educators frown on discipline of any kind.
