It's unfortunate, isn't it that so very much negative caricaturing of gays has been done? Isn't it wonderful that those calumnies of a whole group can now be countered by reality? I assume you wouldn't want to let it drop, "attention"-wise, after the calumnies and before the rebuttal?

I'm not sure what we accomplish by piling up mountains of examples about good gays and bad gays. If, in fact, the military is reconsidering its policy towards gays, that's important. I'm sure you recall what a hot issue it was early in the Clinton administration. There are a lot of people who think that gays aren't qualified to serve. In that context, the hero priest and the hero rugger are very relevant because they help disabuse the military and the public of their bigotry. Oddly their relevance in that context demonstrates that sexual orientation isn't relevant for anything other than choice of partners.
