...spent much of my life, far too many years, trying to hide this “curse.” Having been raised in the Catholic Church—despite the unconditional love of my parents—I thought of myself in precisely these terms. Like Adam and Eve, Ham, and the Israelites, I embodied “sin,” my sexuality a potent symbol of God’s disapproval. Until pretty recently, I hated myself because I thought God hated...
...sets ooze 18th century opulence. The dinner party scene—shown in the movie’s trailer—encapsulates the splendor enjoyed by 18th century British aristocrats with its bejeweled guests and ornately decorated interiors.

Debates exist to unmask weaknesses, not to hide them. In this election...
...many innocent homes and lives are destroyed along the way, and seeds of ill-will are sown in the locals against a faceless and apparently malevolent enemy in the sky. More efficient and humane would be to deploy additional soldiers in areas where the Taliban is suspected to hide. President Bush has already promised one additional brigade, but more will be needed to help the 33,000 troops already spread thin across a country one and a half times as large as its westerly neighbor. Adding more troops to Afghanistan may sound suspiciously like the Iraqi “surge?...
