2003

So here is the contrast, one man proud of his sexual orientation, another man seemingly ashamed. Ole von Beust, the mayor of Hamburg, was ousted for being gay by his father earlier this month. The oddest thing is that recently he was pinned as being antihomosexual, and multiple gays and lesbians were protesting his mayoral position in Hamburg. I suppose that I get the idea of it not mattering when it comes to his political dealings, but to many it just seems cowardly to hide it at such great lengths. After all of the changes that have come about why do people have to be ashamed of themselves?
