Gaydar jamming
The NY Times this weekend reports hard times for folks whose gaydar was always a reliable detector of gay from straight. A friend jokes that the whole dilemma started with the metrosexuals who’ve introduced enough self-care to blur lines that used to be reliable indicators of “which team you play for.”
I like the trend - the inability to accurately judge people by the shape of their social personas. Now we need to have the kinds of conversations human beings need to have to honor the uniqueness of those with whom we share the same planet.

Me too… and hope the trend continues so that we have that chance.

I believe that we honor the uniqueness of others to the degree that we honor our own uniqueness. This is to say that we become conscious of how we uniquely express the universality of the human condition.
