I spent the afternoon sitting outside with some friends and shooting the shit as per usual. Eventually our conversation moved towards sexuality as it almost always does (we’re teenagers and young adults, what do you expect).

We proceeded to trade stories and share opinions on various subjects and the dialogue flowed like good wine. It got me thinking (along with a comment mick made earlier in the day) that people are intentionally or otherwise becomming a lot more liberal and open minded and that along with changes in the rights of minorities and women, we as a society are quickly becoming a lot more open to things that would have been considered taboo even a decade ago. Although I realize this does not apply globally(as there are still a great deal of ignorant people in this world), this generation is making leaps and bounds for equality and begging the question “what next?”.

Where can you go from the top? what other boundaries can we break? Who will be liberated next? The possibilities are as endless as they are limited. Is it truly possible to establish a global community without segregation and bias? Probably not. Taking that into account I am still truly proud to call myself a young Canadian, because I’m still not so sure that I could sit outside and speak easy with such a varied group of wonderful, open minded individuals anywhere else.

Not quite sure where I was going with this but it’s positive and positive is good. To those involved, thanks for the stimulating conversation.
