After I had managed to fight down my anger and distress over this whole situation, I managed to get in to read some of the "religious controversy" opinions. I am sorry I did. I have felt more and more over the years that hating people for being gay or bisexual is like hating me for having O negative blood. (I do have O negative blood, you know, and I am not ashamed of it, and it is never going to change.) There are opinions out there that encourage me to be really, really angry, and the religious beliefs behind those opinions (notably, that a truly loving God would want His children to be bigots) makes them worse, not better. By the way, filkertom: I was the best chess player in my (small) high school. I won't challenge you to a game, though, as I have played only four or five games in the last 40 years and no longer enjoy it.
