I am really glad you wrote this and grateful that you wrote it so well. I'm going to send the link to a lot of people.<br /><br />I've no problem with Andrew Sullivan's being a conservative (though I will never, ever, ever understand the logic of people who become Log Cabin Republicans) but I agree with you, and his positions distress me because there is no room in them for the proper acknowledgment and celebration of queerness in every sense of the word.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-39157357265721793932009-05-29T10:06:18.573-04:002009-05-29T10:06:18.573-04:00Thanks so much for this.

He is conservative when it benefits him (low taxes, libertarianism) but not conservative when it doesn't benefit him.<br /><br />Unfortunately, he is a curiosity and that gives him lots of attention.toujoursdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106158181662408311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-57356626220180605922009-05-28T21:42:04.524-04:002009-05-28T21:42:04.524-04:00Part of my soul would just wither and die without ...Part of my soul would just wither and die without my Faerie friends... but maybe if it weren't just gays only, then I could join?<br /><br />You're the best.

Conventional society had already singled us out through legal discrimination.¨ Counterlight<br /><br />Exactly, and many continue to ¨single us out¨ still...they are simply amazed that we wouldn´t remain hidden, closeted and invisible (mostly) in our ¨subculture¨ and prove that we bearly existed at ALL (and if so, ought want to be cured and made heterosexual or shut the fu*k up)!<br /><br />Pretend. When reality sets in many don´t handle it well...REALITY does take some getting used to...for those who can´t ¨adjust¨ more bigoted madness will set in...we can count on it.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667415590825321701noreply@blogger.com
