A Twist of Things to Come

... and it's about a sexy women's magazine with with intelligent articles. Check it out: Filament Magazine: Man Candy for Women with Brains.

I think I did pretty well for being a bit rusty.

In other news, I posted this video to my Facebook feed with the comment, "This is an amazingly honest interview." It is an interview with a very successful pastor who recently came out as gay to his church:



I got an email saying that an old college buddy had responded to it. His comments below the cut.

( A blast from my past. )

I didn't get the chance to respond, because he deleted his comment. Possibly because he didn't want to get into it with me, either because he caught his fallacious argument, or (more likely) because he knows I am intractably opposed to treating LGBTQ people as second class citizens and he would not change my mind. I hope it wasn't because he thought I would get mean or nasty with him, because I would not have.

Still, this video gives me hope for meaningful change that does not require people to reject their religion wholesale in order to treat others as equal. (Personally, I consider taking an action that would hurt another person for no good reason (i.e. denying them a right I take for granted, such as being able to marry someone I love) to be opposed by most religions on their most basic level. I hope that others will come to see the cultural persecution of people who are different in this light. Actually, I know they will, just maybe not in my lifetime.)

Oy, what a day.
