Westboro church founder Fred Phelps dies
Daniel Burke

ezs note: It's just my opinion, but other than news of his death, Phelps should be UTTERLY forgotten. He comes as close to a genuine Nazi as Adolf Hitler and his like, and should be treated as such. (And no, I do NOT use the term lightly.) If I were his undertaker, I wouldn't even bother with a tiny marker. So there.

The question of ideal beauty, incarnated in breathing male beings, or eternalized in enduring works of art, was leading me to a precipice, from which no exit seemed possible except in suicide what I then considered sin.

I think that we are becoming more and more linked, and before long, we'll all become one culture. It's happening in every field, not just fashion. Actually, I think the only hope for peace is if culture is homogenized.

\ezs note: Mothers, fathers, and friends of transgender youth - there ARE things you can do to make your kid's life better.
1. Organizations such as PFLAG are there for you. You can check to see where the nearest meeting is by contacting their Web address: www.pflag.org
2. Talk to your children about seeking help. Your child may not have the abilities to winnow out the losers. ("reparative therapy" is a good example) You can pick out the good ones.
3. Talk to your child's teacher(s) in a friendly but FIRM manner that she/he is NOT a freak. If the teacher insists that your child just 'get with the program', suggest that she/he take up welding instead. At least she/he won't be able to harm any more children.
4. If there is no good program in your area, dial 1-800-273-TALK. There are good people there who are willing to help though the distress you are feeling.
