and WHY was it a media event?
if somebody told me they were gay, it would be a non-story.
b/c it's not a big deal.

if a gay person kissed their SO in front of me, it would be a non-story.
b/c it's not a big deal.


yet, when Michael Sam said the words "i'm gay" and kissed his boyfriend
people are STILL talking about it months later.
they want to know when and how he showers.
they can't figure out what to tell their children.

now who's fault is that?
who's making it a media event?

if you ppl would let it go then most regular ppl wouldn't be talking
about a dude on the practice squad for the Dallas Cowboys.

but you can't or won't do that.
so here we are.

right. i get that you think it's easy to be closeted.
i get that you think it's easy to come out.

you can't relate to these experiences so you assume he MUST have done it for the publicity. i understand that you cannot empathize with Michael Sam.
nor would i expect you to be able to.
