I think everyone's sexuality should stay in the closet! What kind of society judges others based upon sexual preference or defines themselves by their sexual preference? Why not simply give others personal privacy; this country seems obsessed with gay, gay rights, transgender issues, who's gay, what's gay, shake a person's hand and they introduce themselves by sexual preference, "hi, I'm John and I'm gay." Honestly, besides the rare hater ignorantly wandering about, who cares? The ignorant haters will find anything they can to hate, any part of a person weather gender, nationality, sexual preference, religion it doesn't matter but the whole gay thing is becoming a circus! This gentleman sounds like he was mistreated and that's a shame but the result may have been the same if he was Jewish, a black man or a woman.
