Good news

[textualdeviance]

There's so much ridiculous shit going on in the world, but there are some great things, too, like that lovely smooch at the Tonys, and the same-sex marriage in Ontario thing, and Richard Chamberlain coming out. and this. There was also an aritcle recently in Teen People (of all places) about transgender teens. Woot!

I really feel like the world is starting to change. We have a long way to go, but we're rapidly moving in the right direction. I really feel like maybe my children (should I ever get around to having any) might grow up in a world where homophobia is considered just as nasty as racism. It will still exist, I'm sure, but I think the majority is starting to come around, and that's just wonderful.

Edit: Found a great article about all this.

Very well said, and an excellent article as well. I'm shite at expressing myself, and too ignorant of politics to make an informed opinion, but it feels to me that a shift is occurring in the upper echelons, the old boys running things are dieing off or retiring, and the next wave of people with influence (gov't, ceo's, etc). have a higher level of compassion. ...probably cause there's more women in these positions now. (Not male bashing, just an observation).
