30 Days

I thought the episode was really interesting. I liked that it showed the views and opinions from people on both sides on the topic of homosexuality. From the video, I saw that many people form stereotypes and judgments about homosexuality without ever knowing anything about it. They take the bible too literally, word for word. I don’t think that being gay is a sin at all. People are who they are, and we all need to understand and learn to accept that. For Ryan, these 30 days were very educational, and his narrow world and perspective has been widened through this experience. Although Ryan has grown, I don’t think Ryan changed his whole view on homosexuality has changed, but I think he has learned to respect and accept people for who they are.

I agree that having both viewpoints on homosexuality was very interesting to see. Also, I think going to San Francisco was a good thing for Ryan to be able to open up and see people in a different way then what the Bible makes them seem.
