bring on the lesbians!

I should not have gone to read the comments on the NYT article, "To Renovate or Not to Renovate?" I know you suggested we do, so I did, but I still found myself getting quite annoyed, as I always do when I sift through comments on anything that could be seen as controversial. The one that caught my eye the most was this one:

I just cannot imagine what makes people so uptight and almost elitist about maintaining things the way they were originally. Most of the things we have today would not exist if not for works that came before. Particularly for Romeo and Juliet--there are so many things we see reused today, again and again and again. They are things we see in real life, too, not just in literature. Obviously it doesn't have to be something as extreme as the situation in Romeo and Juliet, but it could be something like, me and my crush live in different states so we can't really be together, not in the way you would be in an ideal world. 

I just figure if we're going to see these types of situations in real, modern life, then why not try to make it more accessible to people in real, modern life? If you truly enjoy reading the original Romeo and Juliet story, then by all means, have at it. More lesbian content for me!
