Thing 2: There’s also a Wildlife Rescue thrift store on the corner of Davie and Granville that takes donations of clothes (but probably not undies). That’s where I got rid of my old stuff.

Thing 3: Can your fashionable friend come help me vet my wardrobe? I got halfway through a similar task, but made the mistake of not doing it all in one go. There’s a large pile of clothes sitting waiting for the rest that don’t make the cut to join them so I can get them all out of my house. It’s mocking me.

Psychologically – You could call it abnormal from a statistical perspective, in that is is unusual and does not represent the majority status. It is not “abnormal” in the sense of pathological.

Politically, I am not sure how that would apply. It’s bad for your political career to say you’re tolerant or supportive of gay rights, but I wouldn’t say that makes those stances abnormal… just unpopular. Gays are also heavily discriminated against, legally and socially, so it’s a shitty minority status to happen to have, but again, that just makes it the target of unfair discrimination. The term abnormal doesn’t seem to apply.

Just FYI, and not making any judgments here… Salvation Army is a Christian church with an associated charity that does a lot of really good things, and states prosthelytizing above social goals in their mission statement. Meanwhile, something like, say, Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada or the Diabetes Association will come to your door to pick up old clothes, and are purely secular. I’m just saying.

Also, on a completely unrelated matter, I would like to hear your, and perhaps Husband’s opinion on the correctness; grammatical, psychological and political of the following statement.

“Homosexual desire is abnormal.”

I ask this, because it is concerned with the erosion (or evolution) of language, and because it came up in a conversation I had, in the days following the recent Pride Parade.
