Itsuki: Ah, well, I believe that on the whole we tend to be a rather accepting group of people on most subjects, don’t we?

Mikuru: I-it’s strange to think that there are people who are still so close-minded…!

Kyon: Well, we don’t exactly live somewhere like Tokyo, and here in Japan, the idea’s usually more about blending in than standing out. I think it’s fine in a general sense, but I don’t think gay people here can be as open about it as they can be elsewhere, you know?

Haruhi: Which is totally stupid, anyway! ::hands on her hips:: What does it matter who you love?! What matters more is making the most out of life and seeing all the extraordinary things out there to see! Being different and standing out is the only way to get noticed, after all!

Kyon: Yeah, but not everyone thinks like you, Haruhi –

Yuki: However, emotions are not controllable. I do not believe it would be…equitable to judge others based solely upon that which they cannot prevent themselves from acting upon.

Itsuki: Well said, Nagato-san. ::smiles:: I don’t believe that what others feel is something that affects me or is something that I can regulate. Rather, I think it’s more important simply to be true to oneself.

Kyon: ::~*Take your own advice for once, Koizumi.*~::

Haruhi: Exactly! And in the future, no one’s going to be so uptight about something so irrelevant anyway.

Mikuru: ::tugs her sleeve absent-mindedly:: I agree! I think that love is beautiful, and that everyone should be free to express it with whoever they’d like!

Haruhi: ::grins and throws an arm around Mikuru’s shoulders to hug her close:: You’re so cute, Mikuru-chan!

Kyon: I’m fine with it too – it doesn’t matter to me what gender people are attracted to. Just so long as people understand that doesn’t mean that I play for that team!

Haruhi: No one cares what you think, Kyon!
