Dear combined religious leaders protesting against a gay pride festival in Jerusalem:

My, I am impressed. You can't agree on terrorism, war, charity, land, or anything else, but hating them gay folk really brings Jews, Christians, and Muslims (and Buddhists, and Hindus, and even some pagan traditions) together. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy, like meat left out in the sun.

Maybe I should listen to the atheists and assume that anyone that anyone who is slightly out of strict gender and sexuality roles is not welcome. That religion is just a tool for control of the masses, and not a tool for
the individual to figure out what the universe is and what you're doing here. However, that lets you off the hook. No thanks.

Sure, it's easy to take a stand when you assume 'gay pride festival' = 'gyrating guys in body glitter and gold lame short shorts and drag queens'.

However, would you block me going on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem?

How about if I organized fifty of my religiously inclined GLBT folks?

Are there behaviors you would not approve from us, and how would they be different from straight people going to Jerusalem?

Are you sure that everyone in Jerusalem is here for reflection?

What would you do if you knew that GBLT people were already in Jerusalem?

If the organizers are holding it in Jerusalem for controversy, aren't you just handing them free publicity?

Is this in the best traditions of your faith? If it is, what do you say to some young folks beating on one guy they thought was a 'fag'?

What do you say to me?

In other news, I went to do my learner's permit test. They want three forms of ID now.

I had my Mass ID and bill. See, most people would get their Social Security card and birth certificate thing.

Here is the pain in the butt thing. My stepfather changed the surname, and convinced the judge that he was our birth father. So, the name on my birth certificate is not the name I was born with.

I had a name change done. However, records of it are in Dedham. I do have the legal notice in the local paper, but I have no idea if it is still around or I lost it. If I lost it, I will have to go to Dedham, so they realize that I changed my name to what it was in the first place.

And will I have to use PTO so I can go to the Social Security branch to get my card?

Right. Reformatted song. What all the cool kids are doing )

If my friends list were a fandom...
A) Who would the 'shippers pair me with?
B) Who would the slashers pair me with?
C) What would a Mary Sue in my fandom be like OR who is mostly likely to be turned into canon!Sue?
D) When did I/when will I jump the shark? (Which is to ask, "When did I/will I become crap and cease to be interesting?")
E) Write a summary of the story that would win the Best Fanfic Award in my fandom.
