Weekly sex advice from Dan Savage
This week, he's three for three, and he made me tear up some, too. Full marks, Dan.

I can't imagine making your kid's life a living hell just because you don't believe what they believe, or they don't want to live according to your norms. I say this now, and know that if my son as a teen decides to go become a Young Republican (and jeezus, what else could he do to shock me?), I'd...try real hard to love him anyway ;> Actually, I'd gleefully debate him, especially if he's trotting out the same tired proto-Libertarian arguments I used in my teens...
Seriously, I am grateful to be of an age, and in an age, when I can largely choose my own closets, or not. Blessed be the infinite diversity of circumstance, choice, and possibility, and blessed be love, in all of its many, varied and wondrous forms. Wherever and whenever it is found, it is a blessing.
To all my fellow warriors for Love, I salute you.
