Oddly Enough

I find myself reading the gay news more than the general news these days.  I'm starting to think it's because, believe it or not, the gay news is less depressing.  I need to be able to find something positive in the world, and we seem to be winning the battle against the forces of authoritarianism -- at least, the evangelical, Old Testament, condemnatory brand.

Although it seems everyone except the select few are going to lose to the forces of greed.

However, I ran across this excellent post by Timothy Kincaid about why people go into "ex-gay" ministries.  Read it.

I may be back later for more discussion, but it's Monday morning and I have got to start getting ready to deal with the world at large.

Update: It's now Monday afternoon, and I don't yet have more to add. Later. Maybe.
