So, G has been sending me links to NPR articles that clearly indicate that the world is filled with more ignorant people that I could ever have imagined.
First, there's the wife of the evangelist who writes a tell-all book explaining why she chose to stay with her husband after he cheated on her. I would be hard-pressed to follow her example if I were in her position and my husband cheated on me with another woman but I'm sure I would be able to understand where she was coming from. But another man? It's no longer just an infidelity issue. Clearly, her husband is gay and they are both in denial of that fact. So while she can forgive him for cheating, she has to let him go so he is free to be who he is. As G pointed out, homosexuality is not something that needs to be forgiven. It is what it is.
Next, there's the guy who wants to create an all-white basketball league. I could list a bunch of reasons why this would be a bad idea from a financial standpoint, regardless of the social aspect but I'll refrain. I don't see any way for this idea to even get off the ground floor but I have learned not to underestimate the strength of the ignorant people who make up a great part of this world.
