Got a chance to meet and listen to JD and Katelynn from The Real World: Brooklyn speak at ULL this week for ULL’s GLBT week’s activities. I’m really happy I went because first I enjoyed it. Katelynn is realy funny and had the audience cracking up. Second it was just plain nice to be out of the house and return to my old stomping ground and run into a few people and get a few hugs. Third, it was important. I performed a solo piece my senior year in one of my theatre classes that took on the issue of kids committing suicide because of bullying regarding homosexuality. That was a year ago, and now the issue has continued and been brought to more of a national attention, so supporting this cause, hearing the stories, I think all of that can be simple step in the right direction. If more people understood, could put a face to it, maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to judge/hate. Oh the world we live in.
