Honest feelings are honest. But the thing Blueberry hill spoke about are the very things that make me understand if my son came out as gay it wouldn't be because he chose it, it would be because it was what he was. There is still plenty of mindless unreasoning hate in the world for something that is no one else's concern. People targeted or beaten or vilified or even killed for just the suspicion of being gay. I'll be damned if my son or anyone's is going to see my voice added to those others he will face. I prefer to be the proud father standing next to him daring the first son of a bitch to go ahead and say something. See what happens.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
