Morality has always something to do with how we relate to our fellow human beings (unless you consider masturbation a moral issue), and we are only as moral as how we treat others in relation to our society's standards.
Normally when you ask an Imam (a religious scholar) what is “Islam” they will respond with “Islam is peace”, “Islam is the straight path”, etc., etc. Then when you ask about homosexuality in Islam, the answer will range from “it is forbidden” to “it is unnatural”, “it does not exist”, or “it is a grave sin”.
This is part 2 in a series of articles written primarily as a sort of online workshop-slash-discussion hook to get writers and authors in our organization or those with similar interests to share writing tips, techniques, and style guides with others. Feel free to pitch in and throw your own two-cents on how to improve your craft.

Agenda:
* Storytelling: 2010 Election day adventures
* Discussion: Boundaries -- Is someone in a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship...
Incompetent candidates seem to have flooded the top ranks of the election results and there is no other way to rectify this situation with an omnibenevolent God than to say that "He has a plan" — the glorious exemplar of non-thinking that appears at the end of every wild theodicean goose chase.
