Don't be such a fig. You're too sensative....

J/K. But seriously, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just messing with the Mick. I've got no problem with your sexuality. In fact, my brother has the same preferences as you and we are very close so I know more than the average joe about the struggles you've been through. And I admire how you've taken the power away from that word. I wish other people would realize that some words (i.e. the "N-word") are just words and that they only have power when you choose to let them get to you.

And I think Beckwith will grow a little and end up at DE. Especially with all the depth we have at LB and (hopefully) that 5-star LB recruit from Illinois comning in

I understand the comparison that you are attempting to make in just taking away the power that the "n " word has .. I do see a vast difference in the depth of degradation and near genocidal impact that is associated with said word... One can exist in "The Closet". You, your friend,or family member can live comfy in the "The Closet". I see absolutely no way how inhabiting a "closet" would have ever been possible WHEN these atrocities occurred, although I am most certain that the anonymity and apparent safety that the "closet" gave inhabitants would have been truly welcomed..
