I'm inclusive. Life is less complicated that way.
You don't form a relationship and then find out oh he's gay so I cant
hang with this person. 'Wasting' all that friendship investment time.
Or talking to a black person in public I don't have to second guess who is standing nearby and what they think of me.

I do remember some tv coverage, but I didn't understand why so much was made of a sermon because that is what it sounded like to me. The radical sounding guy was John Lewis. I learned today he was the same soft spoken John Lewis who is in congress. I say radical because I had never heard a black man talk that way about 'not standing for this and not standing for that anymore.' [summation].

I want you to know, darling great-granddaughter, that I deeply apologize for the fact you were never born. There was no malformation that would have made you suffer, or some death defying illness that made the doctor relieve your beloved mom from pain and choose her life over yours.
