By Kylie Baranowski
Loud voices ring out throughout the massive crowd carrying the message of acceptance and equality. One woman waves a crudely hand-written sign: “Live and Let Love.” Protestors from throughout the country have assembled in the nation’s capital to seek the equality that same-sex couples are often deprived of.

By Erica Byerley
Although the question of whether gay marriage should be legal or not has been a hot button issue for years in presidential debates, the fact of the matter is that it has remained unresolved.

Inability of gays to marry blocks their pursuit of happiness
By Paresh Dave
Happy cows may come from California, but happily married homosexual couples come only from Massachusetts.
In every other state in the United States, same-sex marriage, or gay marriage, is not allowed in its fullest form.
Many Americans, especially conservatives, consider anything more than a civil union between gay couples to be as unnatural as birth control. While […]

Gays live a lifestyle that is not radical
By Mackenzie Lance
Americans are entitled to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” but only if you love someone of the opposite gender.
Do we really believe that’s what the Thomas Jefferson intended when he penned those famous words in the Declaration of Independence?

Gay marriage should not be legalized
By mcsunorg
There’s a beautiful wedding, the romantic vowels have been read, now it’s the priest turn to say the classic line, “The bride may now kiss the bride–” wait… what? Something isn’t right there.
Same-sex marriage is out of the norm, and not legal for a reason. It is not right for society to take that step.

Review: Strong rapport between actors nets Forbidden Kingdom 4 stars
By Joyce Song
Known for his comedic yet masterful martial arts skills in numerous movies—most notably, Rush Hour—, Jackie Chan offers more hilarious butt-kicking entertainment in The Forbidden Kingdom.
However, rather than going solo, he is joined by an equally skilled actor, none other than Jet Li. It would only seem inevitable for the two martial arts legends to team up together.

Are tight jeans a good fit for guys?
Here to stay, tight jeans allow for a sexy silhouette
By Roxi Eusebio
Think for a moment about the people you hang out with. Now think about what each of those people wear, specifically their jeans.
Chances are that at least one or two of your friends maybe yourself own a pair of tight jeans, also known as skinny jeans.

After a good fitting, tight jeans a comfortable look
By Paresh Dave
When one of my friends explained to me that he shares jeans with his little sister, or rather, that he wears his little sister’s jeans, I gave him a blank stare.
His choice of clothing sounded just wrong. He’s a good foot taller and probably 40 or 50 pounds heavier, but he squeezes himself into really tight jeans meant for a slim teenage girl. But, when he convinced me to try on a pair of jeans, my thoughts changed.

Tight jeans don’t sag, and that’s about it

Tight jeans are similar to overcooked cabbages. Both may serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things, but it is very hard to see what it is.

Questionnaire helps you learn a little more about yourself
By Vanessa Flores
For the longest time I thought I knew everything about myself. But, in my World Literature class with LT, we had to answer some questions called Intimacies. We were doing this because we started to read The Alchemist and somehow all these questions related to the story.
Anyway, the questions were basically asking what you felt about a certain topic and while answering the little questions, I realized I hardly knew myself at all.

Humans destroying the Earth
By Dennis Sun
People nowadays are really not as eco-friendly as we think we are. We produce a ton of trash, emit a ridiculously high amount of carbon dioxide into the air, and we pollute every location that we inhabit.
We’re constantly destroying the environment by logging and uprooting forests for farmland, draining lakes and swamps for development, and snapping up huge quantities of animals for meat.

Overachievers at school raise the bar too high as others suffer
By Matthew Geller
If there’s on thing I can’t stand, it’s an overachiever. The people who create that annoying breeze that musses up your hair as they rush by. The people who can’t seem to get enough of raising the bar, seeing just how far they can go before the whole human race collapses and dies of severe hyperventilation.

Review: This Providence
By Sarah Carrigan
As a rule, listening to today’s alternative, indie rock is like diving head first into a sea of emo kids who have essentially given up on life and this “hopeless” world we live in.
Not until the first notes of This Providence’s self titled debut album are you able to come above water for a refreshing breath of optimistic air.
