Hey, ah... Vision - I mean, Jonas - of the Young Avengers got sent home. Sorry, if you knew him.
[Why is he always full of bad news? Ugh... let’s try to be less depressing for a while.]
There’s something else I wanted to talk about today: since I got here almost a year ago I’ve noticed how there’s this huge range of cultural norms across the multiverse- which makes sense, different worlds have different standards, I get it. People who are accepted in one world aren’t tolerated in another. Luceti’s kind of an anomaly, where there’s really not much, if any prejudice. I mean, there’s the whole Malnosso versus Us mentality, but that’s because of what they do, not what they are. Basically what I’m saying is that I think that’s great, and I want to do my part to keep encouraging that universal acceptance here for the people who might not be able to get it back where they come from, open up discussions to people who might not be sure about who or what they are, um...
Okay, this is a really roundabout way of saying I want to start an LGBT club. If you don’t know what that means, here’s a breakdown:
[Below is a jotted list-
L = Lesbian = girls attracted to girls
G = Gay = guys attracted to guys
B = Bisexual = guys and girls attracted to BOTH guys and girls
T = Transgender = People who feel like they were born in the body of the wrong gender (or genderfluid)
*Q = Questioning = Anyone not sure about the above or if they apply
And then it returns to voice.]
Those are really oversimplified, and there's still a lot of other words people use to define themselves, but you get the gist of it. I’d really like to meet up with anyone who matches any those descriptions, or feels like they might, or are just curious about it. I’m gonna put up some posters with suggested meeting times and places, but if you have any questions or just want to talk about it, you can use the journal (it’s okay to be anonymous!) or come right to the school. I’ve got a table set up and I’ll be here pretty much all day. I don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but it's worth a shot, right?
One last thing- we’re looking to make this a safe place, so if you plan to come just to make fun of people: we have a Hulk.
[And true to his word, Billy will be at the school, curled up in a chair at a plain table littered with papers. He’s designing posters and doodling various symbols to use for logos. Come bother him if you like?]

Well, while I would not consider my strength 'super', I am green and I do have a sword. And a wife, so I can offer some assistance.
[Voice]
Well... hopefully the sword or strength won't be needed, but I'm really interested in hearing about you being married.
[Voice]
What about it? [She chuckles.] I am as married as I can be, at least. I am from London in the year 1892. My wife and I are not terribly... welcome in some situations, legal marriage being one of them.
[Voice]
It's cool that you went and did it anyway, though.
[Voice]
We are in love. It's what people in love do, isn't it? [Rhetorical question.] Affection has absolutely nothing to do with law, and frankly I was surprised humankind has tried to force the two together in such a strange manner.
The way we saw it, Scotland Yard doesn't break down doors and make an arrest when a spouse is unfaithful. So the prospect of promising anyone other than her that I would be faithful seemed to me to be a waste of time.
[Voice]
[Voice]
Well, as sorry as I am to hear that something rather simple is causing so many problems, at least some humans have their heads on straight. Though frankly it sounds as though such a decision would erase the sheer effort it would take to bar certain people from their feelings.

[Voice]
Is your companion here in Luceti as well, then?
[Voice]
My boyfriend- yeah, he's here. He's actually the "hulk" I mentioned earlier.
[Voice]
In a 'I-Collect-Gay-Couples-And-Give-Them-Ostentatious-Wedding-Gifts-I'm-Not-Compensating-Why-Do-You-Ask way.]Ah, how fortunate for you both. I am told green partners are the best, however I may be a little biased as well.
