o' big deal, people talk about things they feel strongly about, get mad, it's not the end of civilization, really. Everynow and then, if you keep going, you work through it to a civil state of utter disagreement. It's happened to me and it feels better and--I think--looks better than quitting out of nicety.

I'm not among those who have been really put off by anyone's horrible remarks. Some didn't come across so well, that's all.

Oddly, once after a squabble my cookie got dropped, and I felt the same way, that maybe I'd offended. I think it was all about affirmative action, which I got pretty worked up about.

I tried to bring up some different points, don't have much else on my mind.
   Except I remember watching a good documentary about drag queens and transexuals called Paris Is Burning--which isn't about gays per se, but some were, sort of, and it was nicely evenhanded. Some people were sympathetic, others were about the stupidest most self-absorbed creatures you'll ever see depicted. It was a good movie anyway.

Sooner or later the trans-gender thing will cross paths with same-sex marriage, on the other side of that fence.
