You know I was just reading someones blog and I had to comment on it.  Someone made a comment that we have a strong gay community and did the writer really want to come back to town.   She hadn't really talked about this topic and I thought it was strange that someone would say such a thing.  There is nothing wrong with Pocatello.  The way I look at it yes there are a lot of people that tend to be on either one side or the other as far as religion, politics etc.  But, that is what competition is all about.  I feel as though Pocatello has really grown up a lot over the years.  Yes we do have a strong gay community.  So what!!  They are part of our community, they pay taxes (usually more than we do) they own businesses  I mean what are they hurting?  I really think too many people want to stereotype.  The last time I checked we all put our pants on one leg at a time and we all breathe the same air.  People need to get off their high horses and accept people for who they are and what they accomplish.  Not their differences.  Just because someone is fat doesn't mean they are lazy, just because someone is gay means they are going to corrupt our children and just because someone is stupid doesn't mean they can't learn.  Get a grip on the 21st century and give people a chance to be who they are and accept them for that.  Sure we might have different beliefs in religion, politics etc but everyone is human and we all have families.  Stop and think about how your family would feel if they heard someone put you down.  I really don't think that they would appreciate it.  There is my rant for the night.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.Feel free to comment I love a good banter.
