Well, do you accept hugs from double-Xers anyway? Seeing gay people be all matter-of-fact and jaunty about pigheaded bigotry makes me choke up.

Not to make light, but when I read this, all I could think of was Chevy Chase in Caddyshack telling his young protege, “Be the ball, Danny . . . be the ball. You’re not being the ball!”
BTW, could you (and perhaps you, Poly) do me the favor of reading this thread in the Pit (I know, I know)? I mentioned the two of you and want to be sure I am not disrespecting or misrepresenting you.

Although this thread has perhaps the most beautiful closure ever seen, with final comments leading to the prefect last post, I’m going to exercise my prerogative as a follower of Jesus and resurrect it, since much of what went on in it is very pertinent to Esprix’s thread about loving Christians and hating Christianity.
And because there have been a lot of new members since Andros turned off the lights, many of whom are obviously interested in the subject at hand.
