Assignments make me twitchy sometimes.

So, I'm taking a human sexuality class for my psych major. I've established that compared to my classmates, my knowledge in the area is significantly higher and much more along the "fringe" as far as the textbook, professor, and other students are concerned. I've dealt with this. This particular assignment I want to share because it baffles me on so many levels.

We read a chapter in the textbook (bigendered and heterosexually biased with a strong "hey look, we're progressive for talking about how acceptable homosexuality and gender identity issues are" tilt that so many of them have), watch the second season Glee episode "Never Been Kissed" (my second and likely last episode ever seen of the show) and review the lyrics to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and then answer this question using only those sources:

"Why could you argue the “future is now” in regards to not only increased tolerance of alternative lifestyles, and in addition increased acceptance as well?"

As you can imagine, I had difficulty actually answering because I *do not* agree that I could argue that based on the content of the episode and the song. My response became this short essay that I thought I should share for criticism. :) Please feel free to tell me I'm wrong, if you can tell me why.
