Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear. Assorted Rants on Religion, Politics and Skeptical Issues. Christians Supporting Equal Marriage. In 2012, I wrote a blog post about Christian clergy who opposed equal marriage. I included a list of churches, pastors, ministers, rabbis, etc who. Agree that Christians should oppose marriage equality and who are proudly aligning themselves with those of us who think that love should be celebrated and recognised, regardless of gender. And those of other faiths) are. For marriage ...

Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear. Assorted Rants on Religion, Politics and Skeptical Issues. Judy Wilyman: immune to vaccination facts. I’ve written two blog posts on anti-vax campaigner, Judy Wilyman (aka Roslyn Judith Wilyman) and, kindly, in return, she’s written a malevolent little missive. About me which I found hugely entertaining. Not too long ago, Ms Wiley’s shenanigans were featured in a front page article in the Illawarra Mercury. I can’t imagine who might have tipped them off! On Dr Catherine Lennon.

Letter to my parents | Smelling the cabbages
https://rharris334.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/letter-to-my-parents
I like to get where the cabbage is cooking and catch the scents – Red Smith. November 7, 2012. Letter to my parents. Every instinct as a journalist tells me not to publish this. For two reasons: 1. Because you should never be the story. 2. Because it’s nobody’s business. But with the encouragement of a couple of friends, I’m going against my better judgement. Because the question was posed as to whether the 16-year-old me would be better off for reading this? The answer is undoubtably ‘yes’. I’ve b...

Dylan Carmichael's Blog. Words from The Good Fairy of the North. That’s the way the condom ruptures. May 27, 2014. This article is explicit and confronting.

I had just moved. It was my first sex in probably a month. I came. He came. And then the drama began…. I was called in for some basic observations and aske...

Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear. Assorted Rants on Religion, Politics and Skeptical Issues. Qandas Interruptus – How the Boys’ Club lynched Kate Ellis on Q&A. I was so sickened by the actions of Liberal MP, Christopher Pyne, former ALP MHR, Lindsay Tanner and. Columnist, Piers Akerman that I allocated an inordinate amount of time to compiling a detailed analysis of the Q&A transcript. Regular readers will remember that this is a device I used.
