A gay man (like Shep probably is) in his prominent position has far greater (negative) influence than a hundred gay soldiers. The mind of a homo is twisted and perverte and as a result - his view and his slant on things on National TV are wrong.
He should be fired for being gay.
I don’t think he’s actually influencing anybody. Most people naturally know how they feel when they see a girly man. It’s yucky to me to hear his overly dramatic voice, so I change the channel.
But if some dude is in the Bradley with my bro, and he is looking down at his nails instead of paying attention, that’s a big deal to me.
