Thoughts on Spring awakening, paper, and the coming out monolouges

I can see why Spring awakening has been banned in a lot of scool libraries for so long. The subject matter is pretty intense and controversial, even if the actual wordings arn't extremely explicit. It is interesting that people were talking about issues like when to tell children about sexuality in the late nineteenth century. I had thought theses diolouges hadn't started until much later. I haven't reccieved any essay ideas from my parters yet, I'm guessing chilifest may have had an effect on the timelyness of their responses. I went to "The Coming Out Monolouges" for extra credit on wednesday.It was a very interesting, though intense, experience and I learned a few things. One of the main things that I now understand after going to this event (to quote my write up about the event): I didn’t understand before is that people don’t just come out once, they have to come out or decide whether to come out again and again whenever they meet new people, join new organizations and get new jobs.. Another thing I came to realize is that even today coming out can defiantly be hard to do but can also be liberating as it removes confusion and stress of secrecy. I would reccomend that other students go to the events that are going on next week, it was not as intimidating as I had expected it to be to go to an event on a controversial topic with people that I don't know.
