Oh, Lumumba.
You, Sir, are a hero. The things you stand for, the causes you advocate - a hell of a lot of people will thank you for it. There are gay people everywhere, gay people who have copped the kind of behaviour you've stood up against for their whole lives, who will applaud you. They don't deserve it, just as you don't deserve the chorus of 'get over it' that will come your way.
But it won't help you.
We live in a country that, unfortunately, won't respect your actions. They won't be offended by a gay joke and won't understand how you - or anyone else - could be. It's a land where empathy is 'soft' and standing for something is sanctimonious. It's a shame, but it's the way it is.
For what it's worth, we're with you.
In the news...
Fremantle has finally made it to Sydney after their flight was cancelled. Sources report that this mornings second attempt left 2 minutes early.
Daniel Jackson has shockingly retired from AFL football after a training injury this morning. Richmond are yet to confirm who will take his place for their clash with Port Adelaide.
And bad news for North, with Lachie Hansen's season apparently over due to a hip injury.
