...like Dean, was a successful, righteous man caught up in a divine joke. In Job’s case, God had abruptly taken his fortune, his family and his health. While Job’s friends insisted that he must have done something to anger the deity, the truth is that there was nothing.

The US Supreme Court’s decision ruling against sodomy laws and, more recently, the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of gay marriage have been two major steps in the direction of equality of sexuality. These rulings have sparked the anger of the conservative right against both the Supreme Court and the Massachusetts rulings...
