Wow, shakestheground, well said:
Twist could also be a reference to sexuality, in earlier times someone suspected to be homosexual would be called "Twisted"
............
Even some presidents (and others) of some countries to-day call us gays as mental, twisted, sick, etc.; unfortunately, since they are ignorant!
Much can be done for education yet ! And respect for human life, not seen in China, Iran, etc., for gays !!
Au revoir,
hugs!
