Caltrops - Biohazard: Code Veronica





	[quote name="Senor Barboritio MetaFilter Post"]As weird as this is going to sound, same-sex hand-holding has impacted my view of homosexuality more strongly than any other single act or argument. I was 20 years old when I first left upstate New York - abandoning deeply evangelical fundamentalist family, friends, and peers to move in with this socialist girl right in the heart of Capital Hill in Seattle. There simply aren't any words that would do justice to how deeply my worldview was shifting at the time, emerging from a lifetime extreme right-wing beliefs (including religiously-inspired homophobia) into a firmly leftist mindset. I remember walking out onto Broadway for the first time, looking down at street full of people strolling around at noon on lunchbreak, many couples holding hands, and observing that almost a third of the couples were same sex - just as happy as the others and with nobody taking the slightest notice. And I remember saying to myself, "This. This is how things should be." posted by Ryvar at 10:18 AM on July 31 [27 favorites][/quote]
