Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, and I have a question for ita (or anyone else, really): How come there are two Jack Carters in the Eureka ads in my subway station?
Thank you. I keep walking by this and thinking I'm seeing it wrong. I guess they're playing up that it's quirky sci-fi, but if you don't watch the show it looks like he has a twin.

You left out "only". /shallow
Actually, there are four, but only two of them seem to be existing in the same scene together.
Yay, brenda!!!!!!
I went to HS in the early-mid 80's and we had some out kids. I was friends with 2 gay guys and 1 lesbian. But, while the school was fairly mid & upper class WASPs, it was also fairly liberal (in the Denver suburbs).
yay brenda!
sending out lots of job ma~~~
I knew about people being gay n6th grade. but no one was out. Around the time iI graduated there were a few pink triangle on soe classroom doors. One of the teachers had a son that was gay, and she found some teachers that were willing to be havens for kids that needed to talk about their sexuality. Eventually, this became controversial - I think more because of politics - and the possibility that a political statement was being made.
ASAIK, we have no gay kids at school this year -- out, I mean -- but last year two of our graduating seniors were out. Seeing as we are a tiny urban school that serves alomost all minority students, this is fairly signifigant. I really have to fight a constant battle with using "gay" as a slur. From what I've seen, it seems like the immigrant Latino community is one of the more homophobic ones.
I wish I had a Buffalo chicken salad right now.
When I was at school, I don't think it was ever an issue somebody being gay, as far as I recall anyway. Not from my point of view and not gossiped or mentioned by other people, either.
I'm always a little shocked -- and frankly pissed -- when I use Xbox Live, Microsoft's online gaming service. Whenever I hear a US person, they're calling somebody a fag, and such. That's pretty alien to me, and I do wonder how ingrained that is in American high school culture and attitute.
