If being gay is there from birth, then maybe those born into other religions other than your own are ok, and people of a different race or nationality are as smart (or smarter than) you. Maybe you aren't a chosen one just because you are part of the club that says they are chosen. To start to question would mean that you start to think for yourself and go to the scary place of uncertainty and admission of ignorance. That place that where wisdom is born. So some people choose to allow themselves to be used by those who are afraid of loosing their positions of power. Whether on the battle field, in sports, or life in general. The funny thing is, as I read your article, I have today's mail on my table. There's a coupon from Victoria's Secret in there for me. With a model wearing the articles of clothing that made them famous. (my husband swears he didn't put me on their mailing list LOL). Given a choice, if my niece and nephew were to come over, I would much rather take them to a sporting event where they may see gay athletes, or gays sitting next to one another or holding hands and interacting with those around them, than have them see the mail that some marketing agent didn't give 2 thoughts to the fact that you can't guarantee only adults see the mail. Robert,
