I am the original letter writer and all I see is idiots who have taken my letter completely out of context. The letter was a diatribe written to show a society of finger pointing hypocrites that the finger needs to point in the other direction. That the house one lives in needs to be cleaned first before you start looking in your neighbors windows for something to talk about. The Mark Foley scandal is a perfect example. While the Republican Party spent so much time being the party of high morals they hid a social pervert in their midst. They had the high morals to tell us to clean up our house and act different while they cheat on their wives, lie to the public, kill innocent people and basically break every one of the special 10 commandments that WE are supposed to follow and read on every corner in America, because WE ARE SUCH SINNERS!!!! While church leaders are sex addicts and drug addicts we are supposed to look the other way. Yes The GLBT world is SO BAD are you so afraid that you must be shaking in your boots, would you rather

I'm a little confused since I rarely have people I don't know comment on my journal and never those who comment anonymously. This is from a while ago and I only quoted the letter I disagreed with. It seems that we are on the same page here, for the most part. I think we need to take a larger view and consider that it is the shaky ground on which marriage stands that makes heteros so uncomfortable with the idea of queers getting married. I think queers shouldn't only clamour to get into an institution that is flawed and failing but see how their lives and loves might have the potential to change the institution for the better. But this is really an old argument from the gay liberation days. I just find it sad that most queers have abandoned it.

I'm glad your summer went swimmingly; I'm totally jealous, but in a good I-wanna-go-next type way. :)
