As it turns out, Harold and Kumar may be more to the real Harris's taste, as evidenced by Harris's ultra-smooth admission to being gay last week. It was everything a coming-out should be: low-key, totally lacking in sensation, honest and straight forward.
I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest.
Amen!
Leonard Pitts, Jr. did an admirable job in his column yesterday, comparing this kind of honest, healthy admission with the recent outing of gay-basher Ted Haggard. One one hand, we have Harris, who presumably has taken his acceptance of himself into healthy relationships - or, at the very least, honest relationships. On the other hand, we have Haggard who has lied to himself, lied to his wife of 28 years, and had children in this dishonest, self-hating atmosphere. As Pitts so succinctly says,
I bet [Haggard's wife] wishes he had 'flaunted' his homosexuality a long time ago.Would Haggard have felt the compulsion to hide his true sexuality, and carried on this kind of massive, pervasive lie, if we as a country admitted that homosexuality is an inborn trait, and accepted gays and lesbians accordingly? I doubt it.

Heresy, Sarah!
But seriously, it was sad to read about the Baptists meeting in Greensboro to denounce gays. What next? Jews, gypsies, the mentally infirm?
Ugh
Interesting: people like Sarah bristle at those who criticize others but all her articles are full of anger toward those who she perceives as disliking her for being Jewish. Oy Vey Sarah, I bet that, just as there are Christians who mock Jews, there are plenty of Jews who mock Christians.
If the Baptists wish to label homosexual behavior as a sin, that is their right. As human beings Baptists are not with sin!
