Meanwhile, Over In Ex-Nazi World…
… I’ve reached the point where I read about that mad old bastard’s the Pope’s “mankind needs to be saved from gay and trans people” speech in bed last night and just raised my eyes.
Which is dangerous of course, because like it or not, the evil former Nazi His Holiness does have a lot of sway with a lot of people, and when I’m not half asleep, this feels a lot like incitement to hatred to me. If we’re a ‘threat’ then its pretty much open season, surely.
Tutting and eye-rolling is risky because it underestimates the impact and the danger of comments like this in affecting the world.
It’s reasons like this, Proposition 8 and more that you may see a certain stridency maintained in these parts in the coming year.
