Comments on: Ghost Mountain or Brokeback Mountain? Maybe There Is No Choice http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2009/02/20/ghost-mountain-or-brokeback-mountain-maybe-there-is-no-choice Glimpses From Bert & Jane Gildart's Travel Adventures Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:27:21 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Tom Palesch http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2009/02/20/ghost-mountain-or-brokeback-mountain-maybe-there-is-no-choice/comment-page-1#comment-30283 Tom Palesch Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:38:55 +0000 http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/?p=2184#comment-30283 Bert, I'm impressed with your divergence in writing about Bill and Larry. They are sure part of the story, but your adventure into the injustices they have suffered because of their "lifestyle" is to be admired. "Doing no harm to others" should be the mantra of our society, yet those who claim to be the "most righteous" are the first to cast stones and pass harmful judgments. If a lifestyle or political philosophy doesn't conform to their way of thinking, nothing sort of condemnation will suffice it seems. I'm glad you spoke out. I wouldn't have agreed with your thinking during my youthful and hormonal-raging days, but age has slowed my reactionary judgment to a more "accepting" level and I am a more comfortable man for it. Thank you for reminding me once again that "tolerance" allows one to see that there can be great beauty in observing and respecting the differences in all people. Others too have something good to say and from that our eyes may be opened to see other truth(s). Bert, I’m impressed with your divergence in writing about Bill and Larry.
