What Does this Mean?

I will be taking opinionated editorials from newspapers, major and local, and analyzing them from the viewpoint of a 19 year old female college student, which will come easily to me seeing as how I fit into that category. Like most wannabe scholars of today, I work my a** off to get a decent education while simultaneously laboring the days away for a hopefully decent paycheck, and I worry about more than just what outfit I'll be wearing to class today(Although that ranks high on my list). I have opinions on, well....everything, and I have a need to express aforementioned opinions. Enjoy! :]

Same-Sex Marriage and Social Media

 
 
This article in USA Today talks about the legalization of same-sex marriage across America, and what is abuzz about it in the online world.  They give several quotes from online sources, such as blogs, facebook, and twitter.
 
 
Recently, Illinois became the 16th state to legalize gay marriage, however the job isn't done.  Activists wont stop until it is legal everywhere in America, and many want to change the very definition of "marriage" to accommodate for the changing times.  This article presents examples from both sides of the argument.
 
 
I find it impossible for me to be impartial, because I feel so strongly that same-sex marriage should be legal everywhere.  I believe that customs ARE changing, they always are.  It wasn't so long ago that inter racial marriages were illegal, and now racism is extremely taboo in our culture.  Personally, I cannot wait for the day when homophobia is also on the taboo list for American culture.
