A truly inspired piece of commentary:
A reader notes:
I read the quote you posted from the New York Times about Michael Sam’s upbringing and nearly fell out of my chair. To recap, Michael had four brothers. One of them tried to join a gang and was killed as a result. Another mysteriously disappeared over a decade ago and is likely dead. The other two are in prison with no explanation. The article also stated that absolutely nobody in the family had ever even attended college before Michael Sam and that the father took one of his sons to Mexico to lose his virginity to a prostitute.
Now ask social conservatives: who is the most moral member of the family? Is it the people who show traditional family values like sexual depravity, delinquency, abandonment of family members and organized crime? Or is it Michael Sam?
Let’s put it this way: we should not judge people by the specifics of their sexual orientation, straight, bi, or gay; we should judge them by the content of their character.
