When I first started talking about gay marriage, most people in the gay community looked at me as if I was insane or possibly a fascist reactionary.

I can barely remember what I wrote yesterday, let alone 10 years ago.

I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.

There is no escaping this fight. It is civilization or Jihadism. We can and should debate tactics; but the sides are clear enough.

I enjoy being around people who disagree with me; and I enjoy being in non-political contexts and activities.
