Ok... I will be blogging about the "M" word essay from chapter nine let me first say it was interesting i personally had never before now looked at it like the writer explains gay marriage. He puts a new Perspective on the situation that family is a necessity for everyone and gays need that right as well. very interesting, i understand what the writer is saying i love my family and i plan to have wife and kids, family of my own some years from now, because i believe family is a necessity, and this belief is also shared by this man, he mentions that churches shouldn't have to let gays marry in the spiritual bonds of there religion but, it should be allowed on a civil level, one story wont completely sway me but there is a lot of truth here.

Now in response to the in your journal assignment. society as a whole doesn't agree with gay marriage as we see on a state level most states in America wont allow gays to be married. and most religions wont allow it either. I'll be the first to admit that i don't totally except the idea of gay marriage either i know that it is more increasingly around us and we all need to co exist but. to what extent. I've know a few gay men in my life and there great people they have jobs and carriers and lives to one extent just like everyone else and don't believe that we should treat gays with disrespect or hatred like some people do. that is unacceptable, were all gods children.

2a) I think in this life we have to constantly prove ourselves to others we have new trials and challenges that come into our lives. Some examples of this in my life would be joining various team sports or clubs, taking on new jobs where you have to earn your spot. once you can prove to everyone else you can do the job or your good enough to be with them they treat you as there own.
2b) sometimes people come into our lives and make us into a whole new person. my friend Ashley has had this effect on me she challenges me to rise to my best and i want to do my best for her. she is fantastic and she understands me and makes me feel around her something i haven't felt around a person in a long time.
2c) the loss of a love one or a break up of a girl friend for me, i've lost some girl friends over the years and it would seem after the majority of them i felt lost and alone. something that you invested all your time in suddenly left your life. and that often causes you to be afraid, and in some cases like blue makes you build walls and you don't let others in.
