You're Right, The 'Gay Agenda' Exists

This is my plan to suck you heterosexuals into the gay lifestyle.

You're Right, The 'Gay Agenda' Exists

Since June is pride month, I thought I would lay out the "gay agenda" for you.

I've heard a lot of people who believe there is a gay agenda give their opinions of what it actually is. From gay chemicals in the water, to gay people being the reason for unemployment and immigration problems, I have been shocked of how close to the truth people have come.

I figured it out! I'm going heterosexual to save America! Say goodbye to unemployment! Say goodbye to the immigration issue!

Just kidding, proud to be me. I honestly have no clue as to how I affect unemployment and immigration based on who I love. If someone could explain to me how this conclusion came to be, please let me know. Until then, I am going to sit here in my rainbow socks, my sweatpants and my sports bra.

The most common issue that I have heard people having with lesbians are that "we are all whores." Let me just say, this is SO false. Media warps the image of many groups of people. When you add the image porn creates of promiscuity, the idea of a lesbian being a "whore" comes into play.

This concept doesn't just happen in the LGBTQ+ community, when you hear something about a group from people, media, or anything else, it's like playing "Telephone."

Being in theater throughout high school, I have heard many opinions of what the gay agenda is. From the classic "gay boys are hired to recruit more boys into theater" to "theater is the reason you're a lesbian," I can't help but to laugh.

Here's the thing. Yes, there are LGBTQ+ people in theater. Guess what? We are everywhere, and every other type of person is as well. There is no recruitment in the LGBTQ+ community. If you identify as part of the community, you do. If you don't that is totally okay. Theater has no part of me being a lesbian. I participate in theater not only because I enjoy it, but the enjoyment it gives the audience.

Around 99% of the people I know in the LGBTQ+ community do NOT hate people outside of the community. I absolutely HATE when people assume we do. We just want everyone to be happy. Everyone deserves a place in the world. We want everyone to have the opportunity of happiness.

So, this is what you have been waiting for, my "gay agenda." I want to be able to live my life to the fullest, with my future wife, children and god only knows what else will come into my life. Maybe a dog or cat, both? Possibly several of both?

I want all my friends to have this chance in their lives. One day, I want people to be able to "come out" to their families without being kicked out. One of my friends was physically abused because they came out to their parents. This can NOT happen anymore.

Life is hard for everyone. Why make it harder based on love, gender and everything else. Love is love PERIOD. Love is not love with hate. Love is not just a religion or belief. Human kindness is what will solve the problems in the world, not being something we are not.

So, that's my "gay agenda." I will continue to help people whenever possible, keep being who I am and guide people who are trying to find who they are. Try to stop me, I dare you.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
