...hard to love today! It is so hard to be sinless! I hate, I am sinful, I doubt, I am unsure and blaspheme. If I see him sure and steady, spread out on the boards I will not believe it. If I see him walking out with tainted men and himself untouched I will not believe it. Will Christ walk on the waves where I am drowning, or sinking down to take my hand lift both of us in rapture...
...initial step toward avowing these privately popular but publicly denied behaviors. One person's "sensationalism" is often another's way of desiring and living. It's not worth coming out into a world where all we've done is switch the genitals and left whom and how we can love unchanged...
...only one sign stating that people will love you upon "coming out," yet I saw three signs prominently and gratuitously displaying the word "fuck." Similarly, I observed a 1:3 ratio between memorializing Matthew Shepard and glorifying fellatio. Clearly the propagandists have a set priority, which is not bringing down barriers between Americans.

See?) And worst of all--and those of you who read this column last week know just how unforgivable I think this is--she's an awards whore. She's one of those celebrities who shows up at every...
