What was really striking on that news clip: the old fogeys in the crowd standing in approval. It was truly a Holy-Shit moment watching that, because you know a good chunk of them probably voted for the gay marriage law. The cognitive dissonance shown by the Mizzouchebags is just stunning.

People who oppose same-sex marriage for reasons other than irrational bigotry might well applaud the courage of a man willing to risk millions by publicly acknowledging that he's gay. They can also be proud of the tolerance and sensitivity shown by both the university and the community.
