hw 4 scott - also a new posting is down there so don't miss it!!!

What if I had to live with a gay woman for 30 days? I would probably be so confused at first and then I would think that it might be interesting.
I thought Ryan, who is such a typical American guy, wouldn’t really get along with Ed but for the first day, they seemed alright. It must be very difficult when two people who have completely different, opposite thoughts about something have to live together. Ryan’s attitude kind of impressed me when he insisted his opinion that homosexuality is wrong in front of 12 gay men. If I were him in that situation, I would be scared to be against them and pretend like I don’t care or I don’t disagree with homosexuality. Well, that was the part which I thought was interesting as I was watching this show because Ryan kept his mind and hardly changed it for over a half month. But as time goes by and Ryan learns more deeply about homosexuality, he thinks more about it and also more about the Bible where his all strong belief came from. Penny says the Bible is too strict, literal, which I think it’s true, and everything in the Bible is not always right. I convinced how religion can take people deeply by watching Ryan. What is so great about believing one thing deeply? Since I technically don’t believe in any religions, I didn’t understand why Ryan was so stubborn about the Bible.
I think there’s no problem with being a gay if the person wants to and s/he thinks that’s the right way for him/her to live. Compared to normal people, gay people must have tough life. First it starts with doubting themselves, then they have to pass the hardest part, coming out. After that, they are discriminated by people just because they only can love people with the same sex. Although homosexuality is considered to be a minor subject, there are actually so many gay people all over the world and there’s even a town whose population is almost gay men and women, like Castro, so I don’t think it’s minor any more, I mean, it’s getting major that many people are coming out about it and also the law that allows gay marriage. You don’t know how many exact people are gay, there should be more because some might be keeping it secret. Gay population and straight population today might be even.
