Check yourself before you wreck yourself, anon. You have no idea why I made that comment. It was directed towards a friend of mine who was having a discussion with me about teen marriages and how we can’t wait for the day when Kurt and Blaine could have been the ones getting married in high school. I don’t know how we changed topics to the parents’ reactions to the engagement but it was in reference to what I thought Burt was thinking, that I figured he would see this as just another thing his little boy is denied.
And do you even know me? I’ve been keeping wedding idea books since I was 9. I am more excited about my future wedding than I am about meeting the person of my dreams. I know getting married is not throwing your life away. I’ve got a great fucking life, why would I be excited about something that’d ruin that?
Also, fuck off. Sorry I’m not sorry, but you come up in my ask box calling me close minded? No fucking way. Do you know what I’m doing tomorrow? Helping to lead an Alliance meeting about Greek Life and the LGBT community. No, I don’t think that going to an Alliance meeting makes me some magical perfect person. But what about how I stuck beside each and every one of my friends when they came out without batting an eye lash? What about how the happiest day of the past year was when my uncles finally got engaged after something like 20 years together? What about how I’ve helped people through pregnancy scares and promised to be there for them if it was true? How I make sure to spread as much information about safe sex because abstinence-only education is unhelpful in so many ways? Or how I sit down and write letters to my senators on topics that are important to me?
No. You do not get to make me feel terrible when I have spent my entire life trying to claw my way up from the bowels of conservative christian values to actually educate myself about the world. I am the antithesis of being close minded and I’m fucking proud of it.
I think that that Rachel and Finn are making a mistake. I’m not wrong. I’m not right. I’m stating my opinion, my private-liberal-college-50K-a-year-in-debt educated, open minded opinion.
