Words Are Tricky
My name is Joe. I'm a sophomore at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. This blog is forever changing and evolving, as things should. But mostly, it's just stuff that I find interesting. I'd like to think some of it is pretty deep and/or profound. A lot of it may or may not be me bitching about random things. This blog definitely has gay/bi/queer tendencies.
Convo between my 7year-old students today
  •  (Names have been altered slightly, just in case.)
  • Josie:  I have a new crusshhhhh
  • Matt:  Me too! On a boy!
  • Pearl:  You're a boy with a crush on a boy?
  • Matt:  Yeah he's really cute.
  • Pearl:  Oh.
  •  (pause for a bit)
  • Matt:  Boys can like boys. I just can't marry him because boys can't marry boys.
  • Me:  Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
  • Matt:  Really?
  • Josie:  YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
  • Matt:  Okay. Then maybe I'll marry him.
  • Dave:  (from across the room) No you can't you're seven.
  •  (Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage. I almost cried out of happiness. Later, when I was asked if boys could kiss anyone they wanted, I replied "only if they want to kiss you back." And Josie responded "Yeah! Your body your life.")
  •  My students are the shit.
