December 12th, 2009(Sidenote: I wore the fascinator I won from Alysha over at V.I. Couture and have Pics to prove it muwahahaha!)
I'm in Drama at my school (can't draw, don't feel like playing piano, I regret not doing choir, sooo theater it is!) so we had watched the movie adaption months ago.
The movie moved me beyond measure, so what else did I expect from the play? It included my own peers.
I was blown away.
It was so heart-breaking and inspiring at the same time. I even wrote a review for my English class (granted I could earn extra credit for that AND my drama class but still, I tried.)
Hate crimes do affect everyone; it doesn't matter what you are but who you are as an individual that counts.
RIP Matthew Shepard.
(My friend totally could've played Zubaida Ula- hijabi character in the play!)
[I would extemporize more on this issue but enough said, I'm trying to be light-hearted at the moment... even if I nearly cried near the end of the play)
''''Hate crimes do affect everyone; it doesn't matter to what lifestyle you subscribe to but who you are as an individual that counts.''''
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo true! thank you for a great post :)
that was a good play, but I've never seen the film.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with your choice of wording. Being gay isn't a lifestyle (or choice). It's just how some people were born.
Cecilia: Thank You for reading! :D
ReplyDeleteDIMA: Mind if I shortened your username? Thank you for pointing that out to me, I disagree with my choice of wording too.

Stono Caves: Wa alaikum salam!
Thank you heh; I think my viewpoints and thoughts have dramatically changed from when I first began the blog :D It's been like a journey for me so if you see something contradictory in a past post.. er, I still have years to learn insha'Allah! (By the way, I think your music is amazing, I nearly pissed myself in excitement when I heard 'Dew'! Please keep up the work xD) I'm a follower on your blog because it's amazing :]
