Let’s End the Culture War
I’ve been incredibly busy on a project the past few months, and have had very little time to post (or much else). Reviewing my posts of the past few months, I have noticed that they are pretty slanted towards gay issues, mostly gay marriage. A dear friend of mine recently went through a horrible experience that reminded me how narrow my focus has been. While I still feel that gay marriage is a fair goal for our society, I’m really not suffering because I can’t legally marry my partner. There’s alot bigger issues in our society that we can solve that probably matter alot more than gay marriage; let’s not use these flashpoints to keep us from working on the big problems - violence, poverty, ignorance, etc. As the US Presidential Election gathers steam, I hope we don’t get so caught in the issues manufactured by the candidate’s marketing organisations that we forget to observe the welfare of our friends, nieghbors, and loved ones. Let’s end the culture war so we can build a better world around us.
