“but I’m Gay!”

An interesting article from a secular perspective:
We’ve all heard the heartwarming stories-women and men who, after years of oppression, repression, and fear, realize or admit that they are gay and come out of the closet. In a culture that still has more than its fair share of homophobia, this is both a courageous act and [...]

The Wonders Of Technology

How fantastic is this? My new laptop (running Vista Home Premium) has bluetooth enabled so the moment my new phone (Nokia 6120) comes anywhere near it it automatically does a synchronisation.

Government Criminal Justice Bill Hears From Evangelicals

Further to this story, today’s order paper shows that the Evangelical Alliance are speaking to the Committee this afternoon. As yet there is nothing from Jack Straw and the Justice Ministry on a proposed amendment to do with homophobic hate crime, so I refuse to comment (as some have asked me) on an amendment that [...]
