		<description><![CDATA[I am left-handed. I really am. I was born this way. I didn&#8217;t choose to be left-handed. But I am. It&#8217;s not the norm, but I&#8217;m OK with that.

Please don&#8217;t try to make me right-handed. Don&#8217;t send me to therapy. Don&#8217;t make centuries of suspicion define me on the moral spectrum. We&#8217;ve outgrown that. We have toilets now, so the proverbial &#8216;wiping hand&#8217; is not an issue either.<br/><br/><span class="readmore"><a href="http://mickley.net/worksmart/just-get-over-claiming-gay-is-a-choice" title="Just Get Over Claiming &#8216;Gay is a Choice&#8217;">Continue Reading--2 words</a></span>]]></description>

Each story is gut-wrenching and compelling. Repetitious themes are unmistakable: paralyzing self-doubt and chronic fear, suicide or thoughts of suicide, disapproving fathers, opposition in the name of religion, treating same sex attraction like it’s a phase to get through or an illness to be cured, even outright hatred and physical violence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this essay after seeing so many ill-considered posts following the Supreme Court gay marriage decision.

Institution of Marriage

I find the best antidote to hysteria and bigotry is critical thinking – something many fear lest it pry open a closed mind. I am not bothered by those who decry the recent Supreme Court marriage decision, provided their opposition is consistent and coherent. I am bothered if those who object to the decision were not also already bothered by the hodge-podge patchwork of state marriage laws and the many dissimilar ways by which ‘one man and one woman’ can legally enter the institution of marriage – whatever said ‘marriage’ really means.<br/><br/><span class="readmore"><a href="http://mickley.net/worksmart/supreme-court-marriage-decision" title="Supreme Court Marriage Decision">Continue Reading--57 words</a></span>]]></description>
