From a hunter-net post:

I am an outsider in your midst. For all of my adult life I have bridged the gap: religion, politics, gender, outlook, culture. I stand with a foot in each world, and yet I have not belonged to a single one in a lifetime.

In times of indecision I often look back to the example of my father. He was a wealthy man, deeply religious, who lived and died far from here in the land of my birth. Once, he welcomed several foreign men into his home desipite condemnation from his friends and allies. My father was the kind of man who believed in tradition, though, and when asked to welcome strangers, he did. A chapter of life later, one of those men would one day ask me to run away to America with him..and one day I would accept.

Betrayal is not the point of this story. The point is that my father reserved judgement on these foreign devils, and by doing so he gave me the chance to find the man I loved, married, and continue to honour although he now rests in Paradise.

Every action we take, every decision we make, has the chance, in fact the probability, for good to come of it. We must not loose sight of this. My father welcomed strangers and he lost a daughter. But his daughter gained the knowledge of the world he never dreamed existed, a lifetime of experience absolutely impossible had she remained steadfast, and learned how to love as deeply and faithfully as he. Is wanting more betrayal? Is stepping outside what has been deemed appropriate to your station a sin? I do not think so.

To bring this lengthy discourse back to the task at hand, I shall sum up my thoughts on our mission: Look for the good that may come. Do not condemn for the sin of difference. Make your decisions, but not in haste.

This is not a plea for mercy. This is a request for honour.
