Thanks, Everyone, **I guess** for the codpiece info. Makes me want to puke.

I know it is easier to ask, but I think that one was in the dictionary.

And the first quarter of the night goes into the jukebox.

Strange video, but I do love me some Allison Moorer.

Quite a tribute to Gram Parsons . . .

Thank India for Gahndi, who said:

“Hate the sin; Love the sinner.”

(that’s what I learned from listening to NPR today.)

Unfortunately, that aphorism has been hijacked by the Talibangelicals for any conversation about gays rights. It makes them feel like they’ve said something pithy and noble, when in fact they’ve just told me that for me to have actual human rights is a sin.

And you can probably guess about how I feel about that.

Absolutely correct TRex, tons of wisdom have been skewered by the greedy to promote their idealogies.

Gotta hit it. Love all you guys!

*mwaah* right back atcha …

Homosexuality in Muslim World Shrouded in Secrecy

Talk of the Nation, October 2, 2007 · In an address to an audience at Columbia University last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that homosexuality does not exist in Iran. The comment prompted derisive laughter from his audience and put a spotlight on the hostile treatment of gays and lesbians in the Muslim world.

Parvez Sharma, the filmmaker behind the documentary A Jihad for Love, discusses the underground world of homosexuality in Muslim countries. Filmed in 12 countries and nine languages, the documentary profiles men and women who struggle daily against persecution, danger and social isolation.
