...problem is that it's not just a question of biology. Those who consider homosexuality (a term under which I include every shade of the BGLT rainbow) as biological, or at the very least unchosen and unchangeable, might see no need to investigate further. But actions always entail choices, and those opposed to these choices can easily proclaim a doctrine of "hate the sin, love the sinner." Those suffering from kleptomania also have strong desires for immoral acts; their situation is monstrously unfair, but that doesn't make theft morally acceptable. Using biology as an excuse promotes an image...
...need to tell that to Ma'rus, a dazed looking Madurese refugee cradling her 15-day-old baby beneath a stretched tarpaulin in Sampit. Her fellow refugees are squeezed into every bit of shade they can find within a few hundred meters of the regional government office building. None dare to stray any farther for fear of Dayak patrols conducting what they call "sweeping" exercises: they are searching for Madurese to murder. The hospital around the corner from the refugee camp is almost empty, a health official says, although hundreds of refugees need medical help. It isn't considered safe...

It can get up to 120 degrees during the day and there is precious little shade. There's no ankle-deep water for a bikini-clad Jerri to lounge in and proclaim "Look at us. Just hanging out like we're on vacation." Indeed...
...Tina could try some real bush tucker. Tiny black stingless bees, often called sweat bees, would lead her to the fix. "If you sit in the shade they'll land on you, and you just follow them home," Lilley says. "They'll usually be in a hollow tree, and what Aboriginal people did was cut or dip into the nest, using a cloth made from plant material, stick it in the honey to soak it up and then squeeze it into your mouth."
