It's time for a new perspective on human sexuality as we face the most aggressive campaign in history to squash the freedom of people to express themselves.
I am motivated to speak out by the wounded and dying souls of my brothers and sisters. The ghosts of those taken too early haunt me. There's no more time for keeping quiet or staying invisible.

<b>The latest issue of "OUT" magazine--which I still get delivered via post, thank </b><br />
<b>you very much!--had an interview that intrigued me. The article was about the </b><br />
<b>nutter right-wing goof, Milo Yiannopoulos, </b><b>the guy who feels it his duty to go </b><br />
<b>on the attack against anyone who snarks out against societal issues that he's </b><br />
<b>not personally affected by. It was sort of a "Know Your Enemy/Oh, Look! </b><br />
<b>A trainwreck" sort of fascination. I think I shook my head in disbelief from </b><br />
<b>start to finish.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Anyway, I wrote a response to "OUT", but I doubt it will get published, so...</b><br />
<b>here 'tis.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I love the magazine, by the way, and I even love reading about people I disagree </b><br />
<b>with wholeheartedly. I simply couldn't hold my tongue!</b><br />
