We were at a play and there was in the play a scene between a woman and a bisexual man. In one scene he announces she alone has his heart and he asks her to marry him. A few scenes later he tells her he has found that he really prefers men. Her retort, "me too". While the audience laughed I felt a jab of judgment, and a twinge of twisted thinking. She had inferred that being gay meant you were not really a man.
Gay men are men just as lesbian women are women. They choice to not be in a heterosexual relationship doe snot change their gender just their agenda.
Subtle prejudice is more toxic than unabashed prejudice but all prejudice is unjust and unfounded motivated by an agenda of judgment rather than the discipline of compassion.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
