I do not love or hate anymore. I have grown past it.

Do we have any choice but to be...'who we are ?'

However, I could be a little thinner maybe and a...whole lot richer.

For many LBGT folks, denial and trying to pass have been desperate survival strategies.

Being able to be oneself--openly and honestly--is a big deal for some of us.

But, does this belong in P&R, and where is the discussion question or link?

@Termyn8or, kudos for moving beyond the capacity to hate, if that is what you were implying. Man's inhumanity to his fellow Man could not be possible without the ugly contagion of hatred.

Love, on the other hand, and our capacity to love and receive love in return, is what defines our humanness. Would you not agree?

Yes. It is wonderful to move to a place beyond hate.

This can be achieved without losing the capacity to love. Indeed, it might well be impossible to grow beyond hate without love. Love is definitely the best fuel to help a person move beyond hate.

Bigotry is included in the Hate category, since bigotry stems from dehumanizing hatred, if not from the bigot's own self-loathing.

It cannot thrive in an atmosphere infused with Love.

No, I do not agree.

There being many manifestations of love, having empathy and showing compassion are expressions of altruistic love, common to humanitarianism.

If you prefer, feel free to substitute the word humanism or humanity, for humanness.

Comparisons of brain development, the cerebral cortex, and frontal lobes between humans and dolphins, for example, do not make the case for higher intelligence as the distinguishing factor.
(Then there are those who are too ignorant to believe that animals are capable of feeling emotions, much less love, as if being instinct-driven cancels those faculties out.)
