Subject: RE: Historical gay/lesbian/bisexual songs?
Regrefully my message appears to be misinterpreted. What I said to Katlaughing was, That punishment should fit the crime, but the crime should not be special exceptions. The example I gave was not mentioned, but has happened. I do not intend to relegate people to second class status, merely that they are not deserving SPECIAL status. Since I am removed from the list of members for voicing contrary opinion I shall leave and not trouble you people again.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
