At the forefront of all human rights in the world today, before we could even be scandalised by how blatantly religious leaders speak against and bully gays, lesbians and transgenders, would be women rights. In a way these battles for recognition of the most basic human rights are very similar. The first step to address the issue is for religious leaders to change their discourse and embrace all human beings for who they are on an equal basis. Pope Benedict XVI, please lead the rest of Christianity into the new millennium, embrace all human rights! After all, Jesus Christ never talked against a third gender.

I really doubt that that would ever happen.

It's so hard to believe that Benedict XVI, would even entertain, much less lead, such a movement that I'd almost believe in god again.

I'll embrace gay rights, but I have no interest in embracing women.  :P

You've got it bad, don't you?  One of the worst cases of lovebugitis I've seen.

There is no cure, I'm afraid.  ;)
