In the most recent Wednesday Thought, I mentioned that five
Tampa Bay Rays (a Major League Baseball team) players refused to wear a hat and
patch with logos that celebrate "Gay Pride" month. I also mentioned
that the players have been ostracized and called bigots for their action. Such
behavior, unfortunately, is all too common when it comes to our current state
of affairs. As long as you're on the "right" side of the ideological
divide, everything is okay and tolerance will be showered on you for whatever sins
you may commit. Once you cross that line, however, you will be lucky to keep
your physical safety, even for the minutest of infractions.
