The Gay Agenda: Support the One I Love

I grew up in a church that believes that all "homosexuals" have a radical gay agenda. This includes things such as lowering the age of sexual consent and marriage, having access to child pornography, allowing for polyamory or polygamy, and teaching young children about how gay people have sex.

I've seen alternative agendas posted. For me today, my to-do list was to go to Cuentepec to see life out there, come home, and spend time with Rebecca, maybe via a trip to the movies. Her agenda was to go to Spanish class, pick up our laundry, and cook me dinner. She later added to the agenda: support Erin through a crisis.

My crisis is a medical one, so it's kind of nice to have a medical student with me. Negotiating the Mexican health care system has been a challenge so far, and it's nice to have someone to lean on (who will also insist that I get the care I need no matter how difficult the process).

Tomorrow's gay agenda is pretty much the same - get appropriate medical care. Then we might add in visiting some ruins or doing temazcal, a traditional steam house.

How about you? What have you heard about the gay agenda? What are your favorite parodies? What's your agenda for tomorrow?
