Community Service

Three issues that are affecting me right now are college prices, the iraq war, and another that I never would've argued for but have seen in a different light becuase of Headliners is gay rights. I'm actually going to focus on gay rights. Not necessarily right as much as treatment and acceptance. After reading through articles I found on the search engines the library webpage provided, I wasn't surprised to find that gays around the world are mistreated. Many countries don't even allow gays. There aren't many ways I can make a change however. One way is just support them and their fight for acceptance. Another way would be to help others realize that there's nothing wrong with being gay. People have to start accepting it instead of making fun of them. A third way would be to help raise public awareness towards gay right and acceptance. I never felt so strongly about the subject as I do now. As a member of Headliners, I cooperate with homosexuals without even realizing it. They are some of the most witty, funny, and intelligent people I've ever met. I enjoy hanging around them. Not like kissing and stuff. They're just a cool crowd. It really is a tragedy that it's even a issue. They are who they are and people shouldn't be fighting against them. Let change come. It's healthy.
