Not sure if it would hurt or help. I'm still trying to figure out why this was news to begin with. Who honestly gives a shite?

It should help--if nothing else, it shows that the coaching staff at Missouri is principled and of high character and expects--and gets--the same from their players.

As for why it is news, you are kidding, right?

THE stereotype that has caused most men (and even some women) to disrespect gay men has been that gay men are "sissies"......so when a gay man who has succeeded at the most masculine of pursuits comes forward and demonstrates that the stereotype is a lie, at least when it comes to some individuals, it SHOULD cause the disrespect and hostility on the part of other men towards gay men to abate....and should result in homosexuality not being as much of a taboo as a consequence.

And as that disrepect and hostility abates, life for gay men should become easier and better.

What is hard to understand about that?
