This is at the heart of the Christian faith, to love my neighbor as myself, including love of what is traditionally categorized—whether by policy or prejudice, ideology or theology—as foreign, other, alien, or stranger. And then, even more strange—and queer—love extends to those who are deemed my enemy, that is, those who hate me. It means, then, that we do not see anyone as a stranger or foreigner or outsider or enemy; every human being shares our humanity. Every human being is our neighbor.
