Don't get mad about it (I'm not saying any of you are). This is a good thing for the university.
I can tell you for a 99.99% certainty that when he was a student at Auburn, he had to have been closeted tighter than an AUMB snare drum. "Those folk" just weren't welcome (at least known and publically) around these here parts back then, sadly enough (and I plead guilty to that attitude in my youth).

I'm sure you are right in large part, but I remember back in the mid-80's when I was in school there was a gay organization that had Eagles in the name. I guess at the time it was kind of courageous to be so open like that. I know some people said "who cares" like it's no big deal, but after reading some of the comments here it will take people like Tim to continue speaking up. I'm getting close to old fart, but find myself very pleased that younger folks today are more open to people who were BORN like that.
I also have had my mind changed so thoroughly on this subject over the past 30 years.
