The Cult In Culture*

I love meeting new people from diversities that I never imagined I could divulge. I don't condone separate groups or labels, or anything that can can potentially alienate/ discriminate against someone. I'm not for that at all. Acceptance is very important in an evolving society. I was talking to a lady who had interests only for women. The lesbian culture has a stereotypical touch to it. Which is sad. But as I was talking to her I understood that it's hard enough to be who are and also fit in with the crowd you are forced to reside with. Believe it or not, even homosexuals have the underlying code and each person must somehow fit into this scheme or else they are excluded. A 'straight' world can be unforgiving, though as times are changing, thankfully, as are the peoples opinions. Though this is a slow transition, it is apparent. That is merely one crowd to please, the other is the gay community. I was told that by wearing a dress to a gay club she was perceived immediately as a heterosexual. When I think gay community, I think exactly how the media represents them. Fiercely sexually driven, revealing fashion, obnoxious and the writhing for a one-night-stand or at the most a minimal commitment "high school" relationship. I can't say that there are no gays like that, but I can safely say there are NOT. I can't even say the majority are like this. For example, is every Iranian a terrorist? That's complete idiocy. Maybe the way a few people have acted has reflected poorly on their upbringing and culture and that in itself is a sad thing to accept. Some merely want to survive and never wished to imagine their lives confined in an eternal war. It's hard enough to be who are, let alone be accepted.
