Earned respect

I've known patriotic people. I've known religious people. Some of them happened to be homosexual. None of them behaved like jerks. Nor did they one-dimensionally dwell on their sexual inclination or make it a source of annoyance. These decent, normal men and women, janitors and professors, to me represent humanity well. Also, by the way, gays. They earned my respect. For some reason, I just felt like mentioning that.
