psychmgmt,

I wasn't mocking you: I was trying to make you think about what you said.

I'm 51 years old, a U.S. Navy combat veteran, and I'm gay. I served in Iraq. I put my life on the line. Some of my buddies (straight and gay) paid the ultimate sacrifice. I fought so you can have the freedom to say whatever the f*** you want.

I hope that this is the start of a friendship between me and you.

Take care (I mean that).
