Reader comment on item: Ban the Burqa - and the Niqab Too
in response to reader comment: I find myself in unusual company
Submitted by Allyson Rowen Taylor (United States), Aug 3, 2007 at 16:44
Richard,
Bravo for being secure and proud. As a gay man, you are just another wonderful human being who has a different sexual preference. That does not frame what you are, just who you are. Never let the cruel comments of ignorant hatemongers hurt you. Stand up, be proud, and never, never let them win!
