Steroetypes to the Test
I came up with a thought today. After attending a GLASS (Gay, lesbian, and straight supporters) meeting at my school the other day, we talked about some harassment and such and I began to realize that people are very stereotypical. They think that all African Americans enjoy Kool-Aid or that all gay guys act completely feminine, or lesbians act like complete guys. And that is _not_ true. Before I get in a heated discussion about it, let me actually get to my point. I challenge you to write a Ficly that contradicts those stereotypes. Showing that people who are different, from what society has considered normal, are just like everyone else. That African Americans, Hispanics, or us Gays are normal humans who are normal. I'll give you a month. Enjoy. <3
