Jack London was a man who has been
said to have many different passions and opinions. Though in today’s world, I think he would be mentally
blown away by all of the opinions and objections that are voices all over
America currently.
The
issues of same-sex marriage and gay rights that is openly debated and protested
today would be a shocking subject for Jack to gain an opinion on. He, being a man of revolution and supporting
his ideas with whatever plans of action was necessary, might view the street
demonstrations and diligence of the LGBT community in “fighting for the cause”
as commendable. Though the fact that his world was empty of these issues and
realities of today’s LBGT communities make it difficult to speak of his
thoughts on the subject.
I
do think that he would take a very large amount of time to study the subject so
that he could form his own opinions on the topic. He might even go as far as to live among or
interact with LBGT community so that he could gain an insiders view of their
daily lives and learn of their issues and struggles that they are fighting so
hard to change. This unique type of
journalism would not be a foreign concept to him because of his experience with
living amongst the homeless in the streets of East London, which founded this
type of social documentation.
Ultimately,
I think that Jack would have a higher chance of understanding the goals of the
LGBT community and the fairness that they are attempting to bring to the
American people.
Though,
I can describe myself as an over all optimist.
There is a large chance that through all of his studying and observations
over the concepts that the LBGT communities are trying to create and change,
his moral standards of the normalcy of marriage could stunt his imagination on
the subject. I choose to think that he
wouldn’t be able to hold himself back from the chance to make the world a more
accepting and equal place.
