Help from The Help

Göran and I watched this movie last night, one of the films we put on our list of post-Oscars must-sees. Here's my favorite quote from the whole film:

God says we need to love our enemies, though it's hard to do. But it can start by telling the truth. No one had ever asked me what it felt like to be me. Once I told the truth about that, I felt free.

This Won't Convince Anyone

I understand this guy's frustration.

But if I were a talented gay hair stylist who wanted to marry my partner of 15 years, and I had a chance to style the hair of New Mexico's anti-marriage-equality governor on a regular basis, I'd do it, and use the time to get to know her better, and to talk to her about the issues.

Those kinds of connections and relationships are an opportunity, not an indignity.
