In Which My Day Becomes Interesting [Nov. 9th, 2009|11:02 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
So I'm working on creating a media outlet for my town; as my town rather fails at sharing political information. And I just got my first phone call from someone who feels the enterprise is tainted because I write gay and lesbian erotica.

It's been a long time since someone told me I was going to hell.

It gives me deep, profound, unmitigated joy that this conversation happens in context of me creating a news portal. This little conversation right here illustrates WHY we need a diversity of voices in our region.

Yes!

And seriously, the "taint' of someone who writes erotica is a lot more preferable to the very real taint of bigotry and hatred.

I wonder if it is because he is personally not interested in governmental/political openness....

However, if that is the case, he really shouldn't have done something to make himself noticeable.

Of course you're going to hell, would you want to spend eternity with the folks who are convinced that they are going to heaven? I sure don't!

Cindy, remember, half the people in the world are below average in intelligence. It is cool that you take joy in dealing with that one. Me, I don't have that much patience.
