Either (1) You are serious or (2) This is an attempt at humor or (3) You are trolling. Is that your intent? - Ed Poor" - Ed, this kind of talk is extremely offensive, and it really shocks me that you don't know this. "Sounds like you want to promote the choice of a homosexual lifestyle, by arguing that if people with admirable accomplishments are gay, then being gay is good. And that is just one of the many reasons why this listing should exist. Heterosexual children, barring their own diverse potential to fall into other minority categories, and who no doubt go through just as many strifes and identity struggles, do not go through these struggles in particular. I was just wondering about the comment above mine, which seemed to connect reading about accomplished gays with feeling approval about being gay. I am not proposing the elimination of this article. Ram-Man Should we get rid of the list of famous atheists because it's promoting atheism? Or lists of famous guerrillas because it's encouraging people to pick up a gun and retreat to the hills?
