Diversity doesn't mean we all have to agree and logically one would not expect heterogeneous groups of folks be the same. If this Cothran guy is defines his values with negative or hateful speech, you are only lowering yourself (and your own identity) to his level by engaging in the same sort of communication.

The fact that he is gay is important, but not defining. <br /><br />Alas, the whole diversity debate has become tiresome to some, but many readers still see the need to champion diversity when we have the Martin Cothrans of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-30233561748632404882013-09-15T00:19:11.359-04:002013-09-15T00:19:11.359-04:00Ok, why arent' we getting stories about Islami...Ok, why arent' we getting stories about Islamic folks we should be proud of or midgets or people from Australia? Is there some discrimination here? <br /><br />I am sorry but it is so tiresome to listen to some folks feel the need to draw this one element of sexual preference out as though it has any bearing on an issue other than an apparent need for reassurance of self. If you are gay - great, but stop narrowly defining folks by such singular and limiting parameters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-65001659282935756272013-09-14T11:16:00.828-04:002013-09-14T11:16:00.828-04:00But you do keep us aware of what is going on!!

Thank you for your excellent piece ...Dear Richard,<br /><br />Thank you for your excellent piece on EKU's Sam Champion.I'm so proud of you when you include pieces about gay men and women. Sam Champion's very public marriage to his partner must be very threatening to men of faith like Martin Cothran of the Family Foundation. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />A Gay reader and educatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
