Tonight's A&E movie "Flight 93" reminded me of a fact that I had forgotten -- Mark Bingham, one of the passengers who resisted the highjackers, was a proud gay rugby-playing man. I wish that it wasn't even worth mentioning. But we are of course living in the age of James Dobson, a time where those who demonize homosexuals are embraced by the establishment. (I'm talking about things like the White House's vetting of Harriet Miers with Dobson, a man who routinely makes statements asserting such things as that gay marriage "will destroy the earth.") Pointing out that gay men and women are human and occasionally even heroic seems sadly necessary.
