Me an ex-gay?

There are times when people in the gay tribe irritate me...well, no, that's not strong enough...make me crazy. I feel like resigning.

Me, a Kinsey 10, becoming an ex-gay? Was Mom right after all??

Two lesbians are hauling a photographer before the New Mexico Human Rights Commission because she refused to take a job to make pix of their commitment ceremony. The photog is a conservative Christian.*

This kind of stuff has been going on in Canada for quite some time.

My jaw drops when I read these stories.

What started out as a movement to be left in peace to live our lives without legal or social fear has morphed into one more victim entitlement program with a nasty, illiberal and vengeful attitude, one that now has legal teeth. Liberal fascism, anyone?

This past year I got to know a really wonderful guy who clearly had his fair share of homoerotics --boy, did he :-) -- but did not identify as gay. And more, he was not socialized as gay. A guy who likes, and in some cases loves, men but who lacked the whole gay baggage. God, what a breath of fresh air for yours truly.

One of the things which separates conservatives from libertarians is that libertarians make liberty the highest value. Conservatives dislike making any one value the highest; life is too organically messy and complex for that. But progressives make justice the highest value, and in consequence will ride roughshod over liberty to enforce it. For me, liberty has got to be more important than justice or stuff like this multiplies. Progressives like to paint conservatives as nothing more than fascists. Physician, heal thyself.

I am ashamed of being part of a group that promotes this kind of behavior.

I really do consider resigning. Really.

*And I speculate that if the photog had turned out to be a Muslim, the two dykes would have backed off and genuflected before her "cultural diversity".

And more thoughts....if the situation were reversed: a fundamentalist Christian bride-to-be contacted a photographer who was, unknown to her, a lesbian and when the photog found out the venue, said she would not be comfortable there because of the conflict between sexuality and religion, and declined the job, should the Christian woman be able to take the lesbian to the Human Rights Commission? Why not? Both discrimination on religion and on sexual orientation are illegal. These laws are nuts.
