A movie you might enjoy: A Love Divided (from Ireland, 1999).
--- Quote ---To use dogma as a way to impose one’s beliefs on someone else drives me crazy. I have not been put on this planet to judge another person for how s/he chooses to live his/her life. I am a Christian, but that doesn’t mean ...

Momof2 - You might find it quite interesting as well. In fact, you might all find it very thought provoking.

I've been reading all the postings since I last was able to get into the site, and these have been very interesting, covering a lot of range, so I thought I would share this with you:
Yesterday I was responding to a request at imdb for gay romance novels, and went to my library to get the 3 I was referring to so that I could list them in order..they are a trilogy...I discovered this quote, apparently having missed it when I read the book the first time in 1973:
"I say if it's love, the Lord won't mind. There's enough hate in the world"
--Mrs. Sapphire Hall
Harlen, 1940
Gordon Merrick took his title, "The Lord Won't Mind", from the quote..
Here's anothe gem I found; don't know where or when.
A Shower of Life
Stand in the shower holding hands. Rinse in a cool stream of humility. With the cloth of indulgence, work up a thick lather with the soap of acceptance and understanding. Rinse in a warm stream of peace and love. Dry yourself with the towel of humanity.
I think of this everytime I step into my shower....Doug

I thought this thread would be an appropriate place to share this ….
I had gotten on to You Tube and saw this video (which most of you probably have already seen):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-oZ1Ijn-9c
I loved it so much I decided to share it with two of my co-workers. Keep in mind I work for a Christian based insurance and financial company and many people are quite conservative. Everyone who knows me is aware that I have a “beyond obsession” about BBM. These two women had no desire to see the film because of the “gay elements.” I convinced them to “just watch” this short video. Afterwards, they were both in tears. The response I got was:
1. “This doesn’t look like a ‘gay cowboy movie.’ It looks like it has a lot more to the story than I thought”; and
2. “I can see why you love this film.”
Those comments were based on a four minute clip. Now they want to see the film!
If only people would see it ……then they’d know how great it truly is!

I hadn't seen that one, Diane. It's beautiful....and the words, damn. "...keep breathin' cause I'm not leavin' you anymore..." All the words fit the story so well. Thank you for posting the link.
I'm interested in hearing what your co-workers have to say after they see the movie.
