I would agree that so far "Middlesex" is unusal. I don't particularly choose to read books that illustrate specific topics. It is interesting to read about Cal and his/her identity transformation throughout the novel. My thoughts on the issue are that I don't agree with homosexuality/bisexuality/transgendered people, but if that is your preference than why should I be the one to tell or convinvce you otherwise? For me, I know with my religion I should be against homosexuals, but if it's who you are, than it's who you are. My response to the Westboro church is that i think their beliefs are ludicris because I believe in God and I don't think he would punish us for accepting gays with killing soldiers. To me I just think this is the wildest thought and it concerns me that this mother is teaching her children to hate on gays so harshly. Just because someone is homosexual, doesn't take away the fact that they are just like everyone else. They share the same issues of heartache in a relationship as a heterosexual, they have crushes, unexplained feelings that may have been hard to deal with since they couldn't share them with anyone else. My last thoughts on this is that over the decades, homosexuality has been more accepting. I feel that this has contributed to me becoming more accepting of my friends who are homosexual, and helped me to see that I'm comfortable enough with my own sexuality so I can be comfortable with theirs.
