So much to say. But I will limit it to this:

Where should you be to cause the greatest change with a close-minded organization? From within that organization or by signing up with an opposing organization?

I ask myself that all the time. Sometimes I regret officially resigning from the Catholic Church. Most times not. But if I were some Catholic leader, my eyebrow would raise if I received a letter saying 'I'm a gay Catholic and I am pro gay marriage.'

Just a thought. Maybe that's his angle.

If not, I would have hit him with my purse.

Tom and I had our first date attending a documentary premiere at the AFI fest called "Gay Republicans"-- about the Log Cabin Republicans Chris mentioned earlier. (One of Tom's friends produced it.) It was a fascinating piece just because I couldn't look away from the car accident, but it made me feel extremely sad for the people featured. They seemed, like Groucho Marx, to want to be a part of a party that didn't want them.

My Presby friends (as they call themselves) also observe Lent.

Methodists obeserve Lent in the sense that the banners change, themed devotionals appear, and the Sunday bulletin says "First Sunday of Lent," etc... I've even been to a Methodist Ash Wednesday service. But as far as the "giving up" ritual, that's strictly optional and likely doesn't come up unless you're in a prayer group or home church or whathaveyou.
