Blog 6

     I know that the only word I could think to describe Middlesex was "weird." I guess I described it as weird because I have been exposed to many  straight and gay people my entire life but I haven't had any experience with intersexed people. I don't think that it is wrong, I am not used to it. We all had those weird first kiss and awkward situations when we were growing up, but it was different to hear it from a perspective I hadn't heard it from before.
    The Westboro church video was shocking to me. I had never seen or heard of them before. In class there were two good arguments made and one said that it is freedom of speech, but I don't think this should be legal. My cousin is a marine and if he died overseas and they came to his funeral I would be infuriated. I understand the free speech argument but I don't believe its morally right to tell people to die no matter how different they are from you.
