There is a series of articles I want to write on a variety of topics, if I ever get around to it, and they all sort of need this article as a basic underpinning. Rather than make the argument over and over, I would like to make it in one place and refer back to it. This point has been made by many other people many times before, but it seems to run very much counter to many popular ideologies, so it bears repeating: just because something is natural, doesn't make it good. A lot of natural things are bad, even evil. And a lot of unnatural things are good. Goodness itself is somewhat unnatural. Basing your ideology on arguments about what is natural and what isn't with the underlying subtext that natural is good is only setting yourself up for a fall as our knowledge about nature evolves.

Recently, CBC news ran a story about how Jason Kenney, the Conservative federal government's Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, had the short discussion about gay rights in Canada removed from the new edition of the handbook that immigrants seeking citizenship must study. Kenney's office received the draft handbook, with the references to gay rights in Canada, and the minister's office issued a memo ordering it be deleted. The authors of the handbook asked the minister to reconsider and were refused. I wrote a comment on the CBC article, which was not approved by the moderators, where I stated that I have always thought that Jason Kenney was gay, and that this is a classic self-hating closet-case move.

This was a question my brother asked me one night as we were coming home from karate 
. The issue has to do with the logistics... what sort of attendants do you have, what do you wear, etc. The short answer is, it works however you want. The long answer is that it doesn't work much differently than any other wedding.

"Randy McDonald wonders, like Sam, whether if homosexuality is genetic, there will be fewer gays born as fewer masquerade as (breeding) straight people and pass on their genes, himself suspecting that since it seems to by a byproduct of female sibling's reproductive strategies--at least among queer men--that it won't matter that much" (quoting Randy). I respond:
