So I was researching college scholarships and I found one offered by the "Traditional Family Foundation" or some crap. Applicants had to write in essay in which they explained their proposal to fix one of the major "social problems" of the 21st century, one of them being homosexuality. It pisses me off so bad when people are so damn ignorant that they don't realize that this is not a choice! Seriously, what would be the assets to CHOOSING homosexuality? And then to offer finincal aid for writing an essay condemning it? Ridiculous.
That is an incredibly stupid idea, but you can always trust religious ultra-conservatives to stick their head in the sand and try to ignore everything that happened since the Enlightenment. If it's any consolation, I can't imagine many reputable universities paying much attention.
I'd be curious as to what the essays would say (about "fixing" homosexuality). Ah well, your gonna find ignorant people wherever you go.
I remember seeing that scholarship and pointing it out to a few friends. Some of them were optimistic enough to say, "Well, maybe they really mean 'prejudice against homosexuals'." Somehow I doubt it. I'd find it hilarious to see those essays, though.
That's nto right at all, they should understand what is happening now, that homo isnot a social PROBLEM! they sure are anti-homosexual><
the most annoying thing is when the scholar actually tries to put that in to practice at college/university. Suddenly descending on the GBLT Socs and trying to convert you all to God.
Sounds like a good fun way to get some cash. I'd either write something really bogus. Or something along the lines of, "To fix homosexuality, first we must consider how hard it would be to demolish ones closet. A secure structure, so tight and strong would take an incredible amount of force to destroy. However, I'm sure with the right equipment, and strong enough plan we can fix homosexuality once and for all." Haha!
Homosexuality isn't a scial problem, Homophobia is. I quite like InaRut's Idea, sarcasm on "fixing" homosexuality, but maybe finishing it with "you can't fix homosexuality, ergo the thing that needs to be fixed is prejudice and homophobia." I'll bet they've never had an essay like that before!
APPLY! APPLY! APPLY! Then after they give you the money and paid for your first semester, tell them you're gay and you have no problem with yourself. Then leave them but keep their money
