There's a very interesting article under this headline on

While I don't always agree with Peter Tatchell, on this occasion I think that he's completely right to point out that "gay" is a very modern and culturally-specific concept. The sooner we can reach a point where society doesn't distinguish between same-sex and opposite-sex relationships, and stops seeing people in terms of the relationships they have, the better (IMO).

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
