Boy Meets Boy

I love to read. I always loved to read since I was a little girl. You really can escape into the life of the character and go to a new place. I have enjoyed reading all of the books in TE 448 so far, most times I will read them weeks before hand. I have recently come to a road block. All TE 448 students have to read Boy Meets Boy by David Levinthan and I just cannot get into the story. There is one main reason for this, I do not agree with homosexuality. I won't waist time explaining why and i don't have to since its my blog lol, but I am dealing with an inner battle to figure out what I will do about this book. I can either suck it up read bits and pieces to get the jist of the story and do the QTT paper or I can not read the book. Its difficult because I know how I feel deep inside and the reasons behind what I feel. I know that I might encounter kids who are gay in my classroom or parents who are gay, will I treat them any different then the rest of my kids/parents?...No, but will I agree with their choice?...No.

Should I read this book to understand how some gay people may feel as they go through different situations...which i am sure that it would be similar to how any minority feels amongst the majority group. I dunno...but we will see come Tuesday what happens. It is what it is...
