whoa !

It's been pointed out to me that people who don't know me well might assume that the previous post is about:

- interracial dating
- I'm a transsexual
- I'm a dwarf.

Incorrect !! I dated a person who, while loudly proclaiming his tolerance of all people, hated me for being a Christian, and described with relish how fervently he hoped to be alive on the day that we were all herded off to execution. He meant it, too, and I think the most satisfaction he had from the relationship was when he knew that he had really hurt me.

So, people, beware of assumptions. And, self-proclaimed "tolerant" people, beware of your hate. You haven't handled it any better than anyone else... you've just changed the face of which people you think you have some right to hurt.
