- Walter, and anyone else who hasn't "seen" this before, there is a simple
- experiment you can try:
-
- COME OUT to people (even if you aren't gay or bisexual.) Tell people that you
- are, Walter.
-
- You'll more than just see enmity -- you'll feel it.
-
- Afterwards, tell them you were just experimenting. Some will believe you. Some
- won't. Regardless, you'll never be treated the same again. AND you'll be able
- to empathize with this reality.
-
- Otherwise, go away. Your little logic challenges are about as annoying as a
- small child who incessantly uses the question, "Why?"
