After our class discussion and some personal reflection on Boy Meets Boy, I began thinking about the utopian world they seem to live in. I wonder if there will ever be a place that is that accepting of people who go against the "norms". Will there ever be a place where everyone is accepted? The town that Paul lives in is one in which no one cares (well, besides Tony's parents) who identifies with what group. People are accepted and seen as the people they are on the inside. It seems as though our world will never be like that.
The society we live in is one that has come a long way but at the same time is still so judging and unaccepting. It shouldn't matter if someone is homosexual, biracial or different than you by something as simple as their hair color. No one should be judged for who they are. People should be recognized for who they are. Everyone needs to take a step back and realize that the differences in this world are what makes it so great, not what makes it awful. The unacceptance is the only thing that should be intollerable.
