1. Thank you!

3. Good work on the novel. I can't wait to be able to read it. :)

4. I've recently started reading Smoke and Mirrors. I stopped reading it when I got World War Z (an amazing book) but I'll get back to it soon. Now I'm curious to see how bad it is.

5. Is Victoria that bad?

6. I wonder if they know each other? Maybe there is an underground-ish group of gay men in Victoria. Msybe they're planning to take over the city?

Well, taking over the world is what many Southern Christian conservatives would claim. One of my exes had a whacked out father. For Christmas one year, he gave all of his friends and family a copy of "The Lambda Conspiracy" which was some stupid book about how homosexuals were plotting to take over the world for Satan or some such nonsense. It terrifies me that people actually believe that. :-/

As I believe I've said before: Take over the world? I can't even deal with my cat.

No, it's true!

Seriously, though, books like this are what makes me worry about the spread of fundamentalism. I mean, there really is very little difference between a text like that and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was already known to be a fake long before the Nazis used that old conspiracy theory.

So far, in Canada, they've been losing the battle. But in the US, with its powerful influence on foreign policy, the situation for gay people actually seems to be deteriorating. Twenty or thirty years separates Protocols and Hitler's chancellorship. What'll the situation look like in 20 to 30 years for American gays...?

Merry Christmas! Sounds like you're having a good time in B.C. and are getting a good amount of work done. ^_^ Look forward to having you back in Montreal though!

[felis_ultharus]

You too!

I meant to respond yesterday but I had to run outside to tape up our car. >_<

More tarot cards, cool. ^_^ Any theme to these ones?

Congrats on the novel, I can't wait to see it.

But apparently I can wait for Smoke and Mirrors....

Was the second gay clerk cute too?
