That perhaps one day, hopefully soon, this last great form of popular ignorance will pass. It's easy for me to say as I've been able to reap the many rewards our society allows my family while openly denying gay members of our society the same respect.
It is not fair, it is ignorant and it is wrong.

Mr. Rolen's comments are as powerful as they are valid. As one who was once ignorant, I testify that change within is the only true change.
