To Change, To Convert? Why Bother?

I Am Pleased Now That I Have Lived In A Gay As Well As A Religious Ghetto, Though It Hasn't Been Very Comfortable. Taken Together, Their Limitations Cancel Each Other Out And I Have Seen The World More Kindly And More Honestly.

Praying Privately In Churches, I Began To Discover That Heaven Was My True Home And Also That It Was Here And Now, Woven Into This Life.

I Thought Of Such Christian Inventions As The Ghetto And The Jewish Badge Of Shame. The Nazis Didn't Have To Go Very Far To Pick Up Their Know-how.

What Would I Have Done If I'd Been Put To The Test? Would I Have Risked My Own Life For People I Hardly Knew? Probably, I Would Have Looked The Other Way At Best Or Become Another Apologist For Evil At Worst.

Jews Are Just Like Everyone Else, Only More So.
