Plus some of the greatest figures in human culture and history have been homosexual. As a student of these areas of human achievement, I am in their debt.
With all apologies, I find myself chuckling here.... Ain't it the way of the world? I tend to wince a little, when Tschaikovsky is on the radio. Then there are the painters. I've seen a bit of the study and I'm even prone to agree with those who think the Mona Lisa is a self portrait! No wonder the wry smile. And no wonder that we have so many nudes in paintings, to say nothing about those tights the ballet dancers wear. 8-o And no wonder there are so many proctologists in New York and California for the comedy club comics to joke about. These shining elites being so delightful, it's a wonder they didn't just settle for masturbation as their ultimate intercourse. I guess such a narcissist may have enough natural desire for relationship though, to hope for another such as himself, instead. Is that the way it was Oscar?
Getting back to your point, there are even a good number of homosexuals "out" and about that are against homosexual "marriage," from what I hear.
I don't think that we really need to be very doomy and gloomy really. If things get more like Rome then they will and the church grew then quite well, though many suffered terribly. (Athens might be more pertinent, though.) There have been times in pro-life political work that I've been much more blessed to see the flag of Israel then our USA flag, not for what it is, but for what better country is on its other side.
I say smile and wield sharp swords! Work lovingly and smart and hard and gaily. But what outrages me are the Christians that think that all we have to do is pray and live such shining, enrobed lives that people drop what they are doing and ask, "Just what is it about you that is so wonderful, compared to me?" The misconstrued old "Piety Movement" in the realm of Evangelicals/Fundamentalists shoulders some blame, as well as the High Church hypocracies.
Maybe the time I've been most outraged (enraged) of all myself, was during Jack Kemp's debate vs. Al Gore in 1992, when all this great Christian Conservative Hope wanted to talk about was economics.... (As if economics hasn't been what has been driving us down the cesspool.) Let's get Christians to stop being politicians like Councilman Lott.
