He isn't that person. It's kind of insulting to people who have suffered and are in the closet for reasons maybe Henry can't understand.

But, I did enjoy the way he attacked homophobia.c

I didn't find it insulting in the least.

Lately, many around here are looking for things to get outraged about-- same thing Fox Noise, "christian" groups and the right wing in general have made into an art form.

Please, let's not lower ourselves to their level.
