Stonewall

To be released September 25th. Seems way melodramatic to me, but see what you think, fellas.

Davis said...: We'll probably see it. The complaint I have heard is that while two trans women were the leaders of the uprising, credit in the film goes to "a pretty white boy".; August 8, 2015 at 4:00 PM
Russ Manley said...: I like "pretty white boys" all right, but I hope the movie is historically accurate and not just a vanity piece.; August 9, 2015 at 6:25 PM
Frank said...: Perhaps a little bit "Hollywood" but from what I've read, the movie does justice to history and those who were actually a part of it. I will definitely see it and I think the "boycott" which is based on the trailer, is ill conceived and reactionary. Some people are too quick to be critical of things they haven't bothered to fully research.; August 10, 2015 at 5:58 AM

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.
