It's some of the revisionist spin that's afoot. Mark Bingham, the 6'4" fromer Cal National Champ rugby player. Some of the press is trying to make hay over it "He was a hero, therefore gay is OK."
I'll say what I said to Hugh Hewitt on the air a day or two after the gay aspect broke publicly "He was an American hero, regardless of whether or not he was gay."
The fact that Mark Bingham was gay does not detract from his valor, nor does his valor excuse his homosexuality. The two have nothing to do with each other.
