my Uneducation

Pilgrims.

I haven't been a vigilant blogger; my job is exhausting. I am a canvasser, which means I stand around strip malls hoping I can get people to add 'gay marriage' to their predetermined shopping lists. I've been successful, but it's been hard in a variety of ways.

I do work with amazing people who make me feel like a peasant every day, mostly because I've only been "out" for a year and am new to gay rights/gender studies. One of my co-workers has been an activist for years and helped me with a new idea -- much of what I need to undergo is 'uneducation'. As a twenty-two year old I've been "educated" by school, the media, my peers, etc... and especially when it comes to being gay these educations have created mental hang-ups.

It is as important to uneducate as it is to be curious; to question "what we know". I've 'known' this but it's hard to practice.

Do I sound like a jackass? Anyway, I'm a lucky duck, most significantly because it's True Blood season, and, to the joy of many of the people I encounter working for gay rights, I've finally found Jesus!

one, two, buckle my shoe.
