While getting off the path of least resistance is difficult at times it is wonderful to hear about people's experiences with trying it. Amanda George (Blogger of This Week in Weird) said that she has found herself consciously getting off the path and speaking up. I think the reason she has started doing this is because she, like she mentioned in her comment, is getting more educated about the "isms" and now has an understanding of why it is important to get off the path.
Getting off the path can cause you to be met with ignorant people or major blockades. This is just what happened in a Mississippi high school where a lesbian student is having to step out and speak up for what she wants. The school cancelled the prom to avoid having to deal with the 'issue' of having a same sex couple at the prom. This caused an even bigger issue for the school.
What are your thoughts on this?
