I have a good friend who is gay. She is not only a good person, but a great one. I love her. We've been friends since the Spring of our Freshman year in college.
I'm ashamed to say that I think the attitude I projected at the time forced her to wait over three years to tell me she was gay and in a happy relationship. That is three years more that I could have been a great friend to her.
It still makes me sad, although we have both moved onward and upward and are great friends. Shoot, that was 15 years ago!
When I hear about progress such as this group, it makes me happy. The group is working to breakdown the barrier against gay athletes. I know that even greater equality is around that corner, and that makes me happy.
