Questionable Reflections
Humor about Identity… Oil in Water or Watery Wine?
Even when acting with intention to be respectful of the many ways in which we are different, we also love to laugh (in fact laughter is considered as being essential to good health).
Unfortunately, humor is complex, different for everybody and often at least a little offensive to be effective.
