EeeEE! Me too. I keep looking for an SFU job that gives me enough time for a day class.. There are so many things (sociology, human geography, WS, biology!) that I skipped in order to get my degree finished.
I think about the "Sorry I couldn't come to church, I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian." bumpersticker.. I think that part of it is ridiculing stereotypes, too. Or maybe that idea isn't ridiculous to some people?! Who knows what lurks in the mind of Jerry Falwell and his ilk..
Maybe people are asserting their own individuality for it's own sake, or maybe they're doing it in order to give other people the courage to do something a little less normal (ie, bring their own bag to the grocery store?) by making the abnormal a little less strange. I think that this works with pride, and "outing" too.
(Wohoo! A concrete reason to let my freakishnesses show even more!)
