Re: [UUPoly-L] Good Monday Morning!

Jasmine,

I quite understand.  No problem.  Your timing is perfect---whatever time
that may be:)

Your email was the first I have heard of Poly Pride.  Is it always the first
Saturday of October?

Oh yes, I wrote Harlan a couple of times and just got an email yesterday.  I
was interested in the concert but not feeling well and I just saw they have
cats and I am highly allergic, so I could not do that.

I have been working on starting a Poly group on the Eastside for
sometime---I  have listed on CL and some other local online lists and put
flayers up in the libraries, groceries and other retailers with bulletin
boards but have had a few to inquire but no one to show.  And, Seattle-CL is
notorious for flagging and removing..

Yes, those are good questions I should have thought of asking.   I was
certainly unprepared for the response I received, since the church is so
open about being supportive of ones sexual prerogative.  To me Poly is just
another relationship choice and certainly a positive family situation to my
way of thinking.  However, I felt like I was being put-off---that it was an
issue that did not want to be looked at.  Much like the Forum video that was
shown last Sunday morning where I, a visitor was the only one
present----"Struggle for Black Empowerment".  Have you seen the video?
Still, I trust UU will deal with the issues that disturb them, just as I
must with any I am shown---and as will the rest of the world in GOD'S
perfect time.

*Time Enough For Love* is my favorite.  However, I have not read *Moon is a
Harsh Mistress*, but I will be getting it soon since you have recommended
it.

Thank you so very much for your time.  You are very kind to communicate with
a stranger.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Goodnight.

Namaste
Kaylah
