First off, happy (eta
early, apparently it's not until the 21st) birthday
ros_fod. Someone who, every time I think of her or see her name, I think is called "Ros Food" and I don't know why but on the other hand I'm not sure I'll ever stop. I file this under the weirdness of names, a folder which also include the fact that everytime I see
minitrog I immediately go "Troggie!" Hi, my name is TBQ and verily I am strange.
In other news,
lucifrix pointed out a book that I definitely need to order from Amazon, otherwise known as
This CNN article about parents angered by their daughter reading a book about gay princes. I'll quote for when the article comes down:
( Why didn't they have books like this when *I* was at school? )I have to say my favorite quote out of that is the dad's "My child is not old enough to understand something like that, especially when it is not in our beliefs." I realize that I'm just arguing semantics but I
really want to pull him aside and tell him that gay people are more like tables than unicorns. You don't have to
believe in them, they just
are. When Peter Pan asked us to clap our hands so fairies could live, he wasn't talking about Carson Kressley.
But that's just me.
