It is interesting how the gay marriage "issue" is playing out in the GOPrimaries.

Once again, it turns out that if you know "one of the gays" or have "one" as your relative there is a whole world of difference.

At Candidate Forum, Walker Discusses Same-Sex Marriage of a Relative

This is why it has always been and will always be about us coming out to "them", those straight people who are are relatives and parents.

Sure it is tough but the truth is always tough. We live in an age of denial. Many people do not want to face truths of any kind because we/they fear discomfort.

I am very happy for Walker to have a gay relative. I bet there are a lot more in the other families.

There are no names but I reach out and pat his relative on the back. A hearty pat!
