God save us from Pharisees like the letter writer in ST's forum today about how we should persecute gay people (by refusing to validate them) as aberrations of nature. He dared quote Jesus Christ hating such breakers of God's law. Jesus, who ate with prostitutes and loan sharks. Christ doesn't need such a champion, in my opinion.

I wish the righteous would not look on homosexuals as aberrations or anomalies, positive or negative examples which cause variation in statistics. Why do we speak of them in statistical or genetic terms? Doing so distances people, and they are PEOPLE. In all likelihood individuals who have struggled with who they are (who would choose to be a social aberration or anomaly after all?) and come to terms with themselves. They want the same thing as anyone else, like love and family and a normal life. They ARE NORMAL. Not something to be feared.

JD and I had another short night, having gone to bed the night before at 1.30. He took the girls to school but I couldn't drag myself out to go for a run. In slow mo today.
