[Vision2020] Former Miss America Contestant becomes magnitudes more attractive to guys

[Paul Rumelhart]

That's exactly what I'm trying to say.  Imagine if it still made the news every time an interracial marriage happened.  Or every time a minority family moved into a rich neighborhood, or every time a black person sat at the front of the bus.

If you push against something, someone is going to push back.  The best approach, in my humble opinion, is to treat it like it was no big deal.  Which is what it is. 

Paul

I took Paul's point to mean that it shouldn't be a big deal to anyone: the advocates for and the bigots against, and those of us in between to whom it already isn't a big deal. 

"That actress just came out as a lesbian!"
"That football player came out as gay!"
"Huh. Well now.  What's for lunch?"

So what. It should not make any difference what her or the NFL football player's sexual orientation is. What I don't like is making a big production out of it.
