I agree that homosexual are being portrait badly and yes back to what we have study about earlier this semester, stereotyped.
This essay define queer as being a no gender like, but I don't think the society will ever see it in that way. Society is just too rooted to the gender role and everything. I personally have nothing against homosexual, because they're just human like me. In fact out of all humans, I find myself most comfortable with them because they are more to me "normal" and don't try to make me feel different.
I really don't know why everyone makes such a big deal out of this issue, everyone is human right? Just because some one is attracted to their same sex doesn't make them an alien from out of space!
I farther more agree that the media does make a big impact on the way we sees thing. I get really annoy when a certain group of people are portrait wrongly or badly and homosexual are one of those group. I have seen the episode of Friends that the essay mention, about the two lesbian who are trying to rise a kid. The episode annoyed me so much that i rarely watched Friends from that day on. Sure it's fun to laugh at others, but try putting yourself in their shoes. I think Carol and Susan should be ashamed of playing such stupid, inhuman if you can call it that, role.
I love Ellen Degeneres. I think she's just a fun loving person. Just because she "came out" that she was gay meant nothing much to me, because she was still the same person. I think trying to "fix" or "help" homosexual and treating it as a "disease" is wrong. Everyone is human and is entitle to their rights to act as such in the way that they want to. Just because the mass of us are heterosexual means nothing, we can't make a good look bad just because they're a minority group. If homosexual was the mass and heterosexual wasn't, how would we have felt?
I hate to say this but everything from the Bible isn't always worth following. I mean, who wrote the Bible that everyone so reads nowadays? If you ask me, even thought we think we're free from a monarch ruling, we really are not. King James still rules over us with his version of the Bible in which most of us reads.

Here's what I, personally, find really interesting about the essay that talks about Friends: what about Ross?
Ross is the baby's father, but he rarely has any interaction with the baby on the show. And when he does, it's in episodes where he does things like trying to get him to stop playing with a Barbie doll or when he lets Joey and Chandler babysit and the baby gets left on a bus. They make fun of the lesbian parents, but Ross isn't exactly getting any Father of the Year awards. Isn't it better that the baby is being raised by responsible parents who love him and don't leave him on public transportation?
