Ok so tonight I went and saw the newer version of Hair spray, and I must admit I like it. I've seen both the original movie and the play. The movie in itself was funny but the message behind it still holds value today. For those who haven't seen it or don't know what it is about, the true message of the movie is love and accaptance. As much as people would love to believe that we don't have a racial divide in this country still we do. Now days the biggest stigma is being homosexual. Like with anything different this country has shown to be extremely intolerant and un-accepting. Sadly that needs to change. As a society we need to learn to live together and love each other if we ever expect to get anywhere. There is so much hate and animosity in this country it makes me sad to call myself American. How is it a country founded so that it can be a place of diversity and acceptance has turned into one that hates all things different? Anyway thats my rant/speech.

Tolerance in all things is a way of life for me. I have raised my family to understand that just because we beleive in in things our way does not mean other ways are wrong. Sadly I agree with you that our society s intolerant and needs to change. "Live and let live" is my motto and I do live by it.

Personally I don't care if someone is gay. I don't agree with it morally and that is how I was raised however they are the ones living that lifestyle and the ones that will have to answer for it. What I do care about is that ppl try to force others to accept it and agree with it b/c they think it's allright. They are entitled to their opinion the same as I am. I also care about it being brought up in schools. Kids are in school for an education in math, science, history and reading...not to decide who they are attracked to. This is a hot topic for adults to handle much less kids. They should be able to be kids for as long as possible. This is my opinion so if others don't agree...that's ok by me. !!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~
