I agree with you. I went to elementary school with a kid who by the third grade, we all knew he was "different." He walked with a prance in his step, lisped when he talked and only played dolls with the girls. When he showed up at the 10 year high school reunion with his "partner" nobody was shocked.
And then there are the butch lesbians with husky, baritone voices and 5 o'clock shadows...
You went to school with Keith Olbermann ?
