How do I stay calm and clearly point to the attack without attacking back? Help?
Viki (or anyone else who managed it), how do you stay so level-headed?
It really bothered me when another poster (on the other thread) used my words to suggest that others needed to apologize yet was unable to apologize for their own attack. I accept that we all make mistakes, but we only learn if we acknowledge these errors.

Well, you're being very kind.
Frankly I agree with two of the posters below: it's not OK to have an opinion on this issue that you can't defend and an adult beverage is always a good idea!
Sorry I'm way behind on the news, but I saw this in the travel section of my local news, and I wanted to say "Wooo Hoooo! When and if the day comes for my son I want to see Timon and Pumbaa at the ceremony. Does anyone remember when they interviewed Elton John about Lion King, and they asked if he thought Disney would ever have gay couples in their movies, and he said, "What makes you think they don't have them now?"
of course! i am in no way saying that love for male/male couples or female/female couples is different than that of male/female couples (or any type of couple) or that a someone couldn't relate to a disney love story because it did not reflect his or her exact situation. i guess what i'm asking is do you think a disney wedding or honeymoon is separate from the movies? if so, what do you say about having the characters as a part of the ceremony? i look at the female leads of so many disney movies and they are SO passive (snow white and sleeping beauty actually have to be awakened by men). for me, i would not want to be married in front of a castle that represented this legacy. do people separate this when marrying? or not care? does the fantasy of love transcend the white hetero norms?
I want all the Disney gay couples there. Jumba and Pleekley, Chip and Dale, The Mad Hatter and The March Hare, Mickey and Goofy. I'll take Terk as the token lesbian, and Tarzan just because all gay weddings need a muscular man in a loin cloth.
very funny lol. so true
