The notion of "one right way" espoused by so many fundamentalist individuals and institutions including religious organizations and governments is no longer useful; it does violence to the increasing complexity of humanity: who we are is plural. We are many. We are African and Haitian and Mexican and Greek and Chinese and Korean and English and Palestinian and Israeli etc. and each of these is many, not singular; we are Yoruba and Vodun and Christian and Hindu and Buddhist and Muslim and Jew ect.; and in each of these we are many, not singular; we are female, male, two spirits, transgender, bigender, trigender, and heterosexual and bisexual and same gender loving etc.; we are more than we have imagined yet and nature's urge is always towards diversity, towards complicating the gene pool, because our survival depends on it.
