I can feel it

I'm sure I've written about this before, or not. I keep finding myself in the position of wanting to become very active in the atheist (separation of church and state) and gay movements, but have yet to take any action. I know I'm not very knowledgeable on either topic when it comes to law, history, and other things. I know I could not go into a debate well armed. I'm ready to jump out of this damn shell I've been stuck in my whole life. I'm ready to scream...
