Facebook and other social sites have become a new portal of communication for the young and old. The status updates can be seen by both the people you are closest to and to people you don’t know. We can see who is where, what they’re doing, how they are feeling, who offends who. We may not see all of this, but we can shrug it off because it didn’t offend or may have even made us laugh.

Before I had actually started this series of blogs, I had a discussion with Jason Begay (the Reznet website’s director) about what it is I wanted to write about and so on. At first I wasn’t sure coming into this, what I wanted to be my main focus. So, far I’ve touched on more personal topics; coming out and fears about how my ‘lifestyle’ will affect my future. After being asked, “Who is it you’re trying to reach?” I thought, “I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m just ranting about these subjects,” because that’s not what I’m trying to do at all.

There was a petition to have Sesame Street’s Bert & Ernie get married last week in which 9,000 people or so signed. Now I’m one that is all for teaching children tolerance and so on, but personally I think that would have been going just a tad overboard. I am also not one to force anything on a child because that’s what it may seem like to parents. The petition had no effect on the show,Sesame Streettold The Today Show that the puppets would not be married. “…They remain puppets and do not have sexual orientation,” said the show’s creators.
