Apparently we have not covered the difference between being gay and being African-American.
If I am African-American, you can tell when you look at me, so you have no choice but to know.
If I am gay, you cannot tell when you look at me, so I have every right to not tell you if I believe that my being openly gay will affect every portion of our professional relationship.
If you're not even getting a rudimentary understanding of the difference between Jackie Robinson and a gay basketball player, then we're heading into the world's single biggest lost-cause conversation.
