- I went to talk to my English TA about my gay culture paper today (I posted
- something earlier about my paper). She so graciously pointed out that
- there are many very conservative people in my class, and that one of these
- people might be the person grading my paper. (We grade each other's papers
- in this class) She told me that I should either write about part of gay
- culture that would not offend even the most close-minded people, or that I
- should choose another topic. How does she expect me to write about any
- aspect of gay culture and still offend no one? I think what she was really
- wanting me to do was to choose another topic. Well, she can get over it.
- This is what I want to write about, and I don't care who I offend in my class.
-
- Good for you!
-
- You could ask her if she'd say the same if you were writing about a
- racial minority, or about a religion (many people might be offended by
- judaism...)
