7. Here's my view on current events here in GLBT

I'm really glad DU provides a place for GLBT people to come and talk about issues and just generally commiserate.

So I try not to focus on misunderstandings between myself and other members of the GLBT community here; rather, I try to build bridges, or else I just keep difficult people at arm's distance. And there are a handful of people here with whom I conflict at times, but that's just life.

There's enough conflict going on with regard to the Maggie Gallagher's of the world and Westboro and Marcus Bachmann that I feel that arguing here with other GLBT people is destructive.

I'm not sure that I will do well being a host, but regardless of what happens, it's nice to know that some people trust my judgment here and feel that I'm capable.
