Here, I’ll start:<br /><br />Fag <br />Fag <br />Faggity <br />Fag <br />Fag <br />F. <br />A. <br />G. <br />Faggy <br />Fag<br /><br />I feel better..<br /><br />Now, seriously, this is a reason to not blog (<a href="http://utahcog.blogspot.com/2006/10/on-scales.html">#6 in fact</a> :-)): good people on different sides of an issue. It’s inevitably going to cause hard feelings at times and distance between people who should be fast friends. Just have to fight through it and decide if it’s still worth it; it can be worth it, right?<br /><br />As to Chris’ point, I see where he’s coming from. Adding up all the time’s I’ve been called a fag, it’s a fraction of the sting compared to the time my old friend told me he’d “<a href="http://utahcog.blogspot.com/2006/09/what-choice-did-you-really-have.html">even socialize with a thief</a>.” Fred, for example, is more comical, but, the Pope, he’s threatening in practical ways, though the language is infinitely more tame, and erudite, with frequent disclaimers of love. Still, as a person, I like the Pope a good deal more; can’t help it.<br /><br />On that other end, I know you, L, aren’t without your sincere and serious struggles with the “kinder forms of anti-gay speech and behavior”, and I think Chris does too. I feel helpless about the predicament, not angry at you for being in it, as you clearly do try to be as kind as your faith allows, maybe more so at times, and even when you do some political harm, you believe it’s ultimately for kind reasons. But I do similarly think you’re wrong about something that literally hits home, and it isn’t easy to negotiate such territory, socially.Scothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350801865113852319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131983.post-68346712677250833572006-10-25T08:43:00.000-07:002006-10-25T08:43:00.000-07:00Don’t listen to him, L!

Can you believe it!?<br /><br />It was an odd coincidence, as I had just got your secret email, going on and on, ad nauseum, on how Chris is a lecherous, unprincipled, anti-LDS delinquent who cares only to justify the bacchanal that he <I>somehow</I> regards as a life, just like me.<br /><br />I know, Chris, I was shocked too.<br /><br />Now, my blog demands it’s first fight, blood. Have at it...<br /><br />…waiting…<br /><br />I'm a good arbitrator.

I certainly hope you don't perceive me as one of those who have "no problem".

Oh well.<br /><br />I find it astonishing that people who would never call Scot or me or any other gay person a "fag," have no problem associating themselves with, and even endorsing, kinder forms of anti-gay speech and behavior. In some ways, I find the bigot willing to use the word "fag" far easier to understand and deal with--and, ultimately, less threatening.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940646193920094814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131983.post-15331320002720855252006-10-24T13:01:00.000-07:002006-10-24T13:01:00.000-07:00The length and ability of people to discredit or m...The length and ability of people to discredit or marginalize others has always come as a shock to me. The rationalization of the irrational thinker, especially when it comes to the LDS has always shocked me the most. Over the years, of course, the shock has lessened but only ever so slightly. <br /><br />We, as LDS, continually emphasis that “we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, (and) we prophesy of Christ…” yet there are some who feel that His teachings do not apply to all situations. Prideful piousness is most certainly not justification of illegitimate actions.Loyalist (with defects)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17928372020769470585noreply@blogger.com
