Fire!

I got home late from a business trip Thursday night - about 11:15pm.

As I brought in my bags, plopped down at the desk and paid some bills, and got ready for bed, my wife got up. She did a little cleaning in the kitchen, and then let me know she was going outside to take out the trash (something I typically do on Thursday nights). I told her not to worry about it and that I could take care of it in the morning. She said okay.

But, wanting to make the next morning, after a few nights with little sleep, easier for me, she took out the trash anyway.

Role Reversal

April 12, 2008 by Do'C Printer-Friendly Version Printer-Friendly Version

Should a gay person have to conform to a socially-constructed “normal” in order to be accepted as a valuable member of society?

Of course not - no more than a heterosexual person should have to conform to a socially-constructed “normal” to be accepted as a valuable member of society, if the roles were reversed.
