Yet I still chose to keep those secrets hidden from the world. I, like most gay people, lived a life of fear. Fear that if some employers, coworkers, friends, neighbors and family members learned of my sexuality, I would be shunned, mocked and ostracized. It is a burden that millions of people carry with them every single day. And sadly, while the mockery and ostracizing are realized by millions of people every day, I truly believe it doesn't have to happen."

Lemon is the latest in a growing list of journalists to publicly acknowledge they are gay, including MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Thomas Roberts.

It is still beyond me why there is a certain faction of our society that believes it is acceptable to create such misery and fear in others simply because their sexual orientation is different from one's own.:(
 
It is beyond me why anyone is curious about anyone else's sexual orientation at all.

You know, Bott. I agree. Unfortunately, there are those that make it necessary for others to speak about it in order to stop the bigotry and fear.
 
Given what I have seen just recently, it is rampant. Fortunately, it is slowly loosing it's power to harm.
