The loveable Black Sheep?)<br /><br />But it is NOT possible to love someone you feel morally superior to. "Moral superiority" is about POWER(-over). And that's the issue. That is what must be let go of.<br /><br />The laws in Nigeria, in Uganda, in Russia---these are just Power-Over, taken to their inevitable ends of Violence. You can call it "protecting Traditional Marriage", but that doesn't change the facts that it's about the POWER-OVER to define marriage, and to define some <i>out</i> (indeed, it's the same-sex marriage BANS which were this century's "redefinition of marriage").<br /><br />You can love us (LGBTs), and continue to believe we're wrong (we have sex wrong). But you have to choose between self-emptying power of LOVE, and the other-crushing love of POWER.JCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516376500318551838noreply@blogger.com
