montims:

I'm not Katie, and I know short answers are not allowed, but I had to
respond to this - homosexuality is a normal phenomenon that has manifested

Witchcraft, as considered in real life, where people manipulate events, and
often hurt people, using energies and intent, surely is much more
controversial than who fancies whom???
