That's pretty much how everyone in my family besides my parents are. My grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles are all stupid, homophobic, racists. It sucks. Also, didn't you say that you are a Muslim at one point? How does that go over in your town? I imagine it isn't very good.

No, I'm not Muslim. I studied the Qu'ran briefly while in Hawaii for an essay comparing religions and pretty much saying that the war between these religions is bullshit. I was raised as a Roman Catholic and I would pretty much consider myself a die-hard conservative up until high school ended. Over the course of 3 years, my views of everything has changed dramatically. I used to be against gay marriage, but now I'm in favor for it. I used to be heavily against the legalization of marijuana, now I want to see it legalized to have a boost in our economy. I thought my religion was right and everyone else's was wrong, but my study of different religions for my world history class made me open my mind. I would consider myself a Deist now. I still believe in a Supreme Being due to my faith and how I was raised, but I don't believe that he/she/it has a direct influence over everything else. That's why at Superbowl parties or other things like that, I laugh on the inside when people pray to make their team win.
