Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, Louise.

I agree with you about the dangers inherent in religion, though I struggle not to be dogmatic about that. I’m too aware of the work many religious folks are doing to increase acceptance and understanding of LGBTQ people.

Given they probably have more impact in certain circles than I ever can, I try to keep my inner misgivings to myself.

Storytelling. Always storytelling. It’s the most potent tool we humans wield. Human hearts and faces matter so much.
