A day of tidings of momentous import. First, I sent off the application to the distributor (BCH). So hopefully in short order I will be hearing back from them regarding listing in the Ingrams database. And then matters will accelerate.

Afterward I went to go see "V for Vendetta". A powerful movie. Parts of it made me cry. The message is very much needed in these times. This one I will get on DVD. We could so easily end up that way. In the years to come am I going to be afraid to be what I am? Listen to me. I'm afraid now.

I am bisexual.

I believe in science.

In this day and age, and in the future, that could be enough to get me locked up as an enemy of the state. All that protects homosexuals from this is a few flimsy laws and precedents and a few easily-changed words in the Constitution. Science is already under attack, and here in the South believing in evolution can already get you run out of town.

All it takes is a well-aimed PR campaign, a few easily-fabricated incidents, and turning people into labels.

I am who I am. I am not going to stop loving somebody -- anybody -- because some law says it's wrong. For quite some time now I didn't think I was capable of saying this anymore, but --

Even after all that's happened to me . . . love matters to me.

What doesn't matter is the form that love wears.

Why is that wrong?
