I'm using the name "elizabeth" . I am 50 yrs old, an artist-turned-web-
manager, lots of experience in a variety of businesses. Have one child grown,
live quietly with my cat and garden in Texas.
I am watching a wave of organized militant homosexual activity hit the
mostly conservative congregations in my community. I posted about it in
the "News" thread.
It saddens me to see the old tricks they like to use catch so many people
unawares. I know the Holy Spirit is in charge and I am grateful that the
Lord is letting me sit this one out.
I was attacked and beaten outside my studio in a Massachusetts town
during a lesbian "Take Back The Night" march in the early '90's. The
marchers were shouting and screaming and slowly circling the block. I
had gone outside and stood there and saw some women who looked
confused. They looked like they were trying to drop out of the march (it
had been advertised as an anti-violent commemoration for victims of
crime and it was turning into something else)
Two of the "marshalls" came
up behind th bullhorns and tried to "herd" them back. I shouted to them
over the noise, "Hey, did you ever read about Hitler?" I pointed at the
marshalls and said "This is how Hitler acted!" and the group of women
stopped, and two came over to me and we started talking. Then I was
attacked from two sides by the "marshalls" and one of the marshalls
pushed the two women back into the crowd.
