i want to get back to, for a second, that fleeting thot i had about tradition and queer issues.

queer folks have a tendecy to probe dissident/heretical/othered traditions, and place them at the forefront, for fairly obvious reasons, while forgetting the obv homophobia of the mainstreams.

esp in catholicism, with its fecund history of oddness, its an easy trap to fall into--but an impt part of being catholic is to balance the tradition with the scripture--and that tradition includes much more work against same gendered realtions as it does for...and that tradition isnt the work of 1890s, either. Michel was wrong about that.

some protesant acceptence of same gendered desire, must be a bit easier, because of the belief in continued, personal revealtion and the pbelief in interperting the scripture by oneself, as a seperate object...

questions,
is this correct?
how does one (de/re/un/construct tradition) and stiull live with it openly?
