Dan Savage of The Stranger, a Seattly newsweekly, gets it right when offers what gay advocacy groups SHOULD be saying about the recent bigoty exhibited by NBA star Tim Hardaway:
"Mr. Hardaway is entitled to his opinions—and his prejudices. He is not entitled to live in a world or a United States that’s free from homosexuals. We are ‘in the world,’ we always have been, and we always will be. And gays and lesbians should not be subject to discrimination because some people are homophobic any more than African Americans should be subject to discrimination because some people are racist. But if Mr. Hardaway doesn’t care to know or associate with gay people in his private life, that is his right. It is also his loss."
