Trans Texas Teacher Resigns

This just happened.

I will tell my truckbuddies frankly that I am of two minds about this uproar. And I'll leave it at that.

I find nothing objectionable about what that teacher said in the video but the fact that an ignorant bigot politician can misconstrue her message and make it sound dirty and immoral and force her out of her job because of what she said is way worse than what the teacher said or did. The fact that Mr Harrison purposely refers to Rosalyn as “he” “him” is not only disrespectful but it’s also a form of abuse. It’s the type of abuse that puts other trans persons at risk.; April 4, 2025 at 2:36 PM

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
