You can't fool me. I know satire when I read it! "Heteronormative" ROTFLMAO. On the off chance this is not satire: Why would anyone want their kid to go an ivy league school if this is what they're going to be spending their free time on, rather than sex, drugs and rocknroll? The brats are supposed to go to university to get smarter, not stupider. This is stupid (and hypocritical): “Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable,” he said. ...According to Paulus, the letter will acknowledge that “Pinkett Smith was just giving the story of her life. She just told things from her perspective, and her perspective was a heterosexual perspective. She wasn’t trying to be offensive. But some felt she was taking a narrow view, and some people felt left out.” If we are going to participate in non-standard and nouveau-gender lives we will inescapably be on the margins of society. In an individualist, meritocratic society we are what we do and if what we do puts us on the margin then we have to deal with that and get on with real things. Running an institutional line of self pity is not getting on with real things. It's dreck.
