Thank you. I was kind of in the thick of it (and still am) and I didn't realise there were actual respectful conversations going on about it. I blame it on my complete inability to use LJ properly, but ... it's nice there are people out there who aren't completely willing to stick us with a knife and twist it.

I've been accused of being heterosexist, bigoted, emotionally coercive ... I've been torn down, and this gives me just a tiny bit of hope that maybe there might be some good at the end of the tunnel. Somewhere.
