I read this and my only real thought on the issue is, "so what?". She a lesbian. Big deal. I'm coming out that I'm straight! ... What? No parade? Exactly!
This public spectacle of people coming out on a national level will not make it less scary for the biggots. It will give fuel to their fire, convincing them that now the 'fags' can attack my way of life on national television but I can do nothing? My point is that this is all about how we address these people. The time for patient, polite attempts to convince the bigots that their point of view could use a little enlightening is long over. We have no need to tolerate the intolerant. Stop coming out on national tv and stop trying to convince these people otherwise. When they verbally assault you, use the legal system to put them in their place.
