Within twenty three days, girls, we are coming up on the Second Anniversary of the tragic passing of Tyler Clementi. Ridgewood must be rocking with this latest news, because, from there, comes the story that Tyler's family, longstanding members of Grace Church, a Christian Evangelical denomination, are going to leave the church, because of its prohibitive stance on homosexuality.
I can only support them, and say "Good for you!" But what a journey it has been for them to this point, and what a price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I wonder what alternative religious venue they will choose. I mean, for all its Post Vatican II changes, the Catholic church, save for the Dignity organization, is not exactly overflowing with love and kindness to those who happen to be gay or lesbian!!!!!!!!!!
It places the Clementis in an interesting situation, after what they have been through, after having been placed through so much following that tragic date of September 22, 2010.
This move on their part, and the Foundation they have established, shows signs of progress in moving on. But can they ever really get over it? Somehow, I doubt that.
The only thing different between hetero and homosexuality is a matter of plumbing, darlings; that is all it comes down to. Hung up heteros, for all their proselytizing, I don't really think care about the plumbing or the actual sexual aspects. I think they fear that, if condoned, and with Gay Marriage gaining in advocacy, it will somehow take away from what they feel they are God given entitled to. Well, to those who think that I say--Sweethearts, get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Clementis continue to be the Class Act they have been from Day One onward. Let us wish them well on their journey. Tyler would have been proud of each and every one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As we all are on here, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
