In church today we had the story of The Good Samaritan.
Our minister suggested that the man who helped could be an Aboriginal.
But he said we could substitute our own most unlikely person.
I would suggest that this could be a gay man.
Although the gay man is more likely to be the one beaten and bloodied beside the road.
We deal daily with racism and homophobia.
Most ignore objections to this and some will even complain.
They walk by on the other side of the road.
But the fact remains - racism and homophobia are rife in our communities.
It is our job to point this out.
