OK so here we go again.  Back to the who cares category.  You know the one that has several losers listed but the mainstream liberal loser media seems to focus on and the help them develop a major following.

For example, Donald Trump to start.  Yeah who cares, and we answer all at once, “nobody.”

Let’s pick a guy who is a winner.  His name is Don Lemon and he’s an anchor over at the much, much ratings maligned CNN, the cable news network.  I’ve followed Don Lemon’s very fast moving career.  Knew him on NBC10 in Philly when it was a CBS owned and operated TV station back then.

Solid on air reporter and anchor.

I think he did a stint in New York for a minute as well.  I would have to check on that but knowing where he worked and what he did prior to joining CNN is not the point.  In a new book, Don Lemon has come out of the so called proverbial closet of being gay.

Once again, who cares.

Well we know he wants to sell his new book, Transparent.  Where he talks about his life and his sexuality.  So sell on Don Lemon sell on.  I’m not a big book reader so it’s not a memoir that I would pick up, only because, well I don’t read.  But he seems to have a lot of supporters.

A lot of them.

Once again, I say why?  Who in the year of 2011 really cares if Don Lemon is gay?

Well there are some out there that are extremely homophobic.  Yes I will admit that I really didn’t meet a lot of gay or lesbian people until probably the mid 1990′s while living in Philadelphia.  I opened up a coffee shop, two doors away from a weekly publication called Au Courant.

Um, it was a gay and lesbian focused publication.  Uh, I did not know.

Back then, again after knowing no gay or lesbian people, not one in or around my life, you just start to think.  It’s one of those things, in Arsenio Hall’s words, “that make you go hmmmm.  Hmmmm.”

Gay and lesbian people, two doors down, running a business, “oh my God!”

Turned out to be the best, most incredible experience of my life.  Not only was I accepted by every one of them at Au Courant and I accepted them as really cool people.  Nothing to be scared of at all.  I was invited to dinner by a lesbian couple that used to come in the coffee show.  I was also invited to a gay club in downtown Philly by another lesbian couple.

I was so excited.  I was going to my very first gay party and gay club.  The reaction by my neighbors at Au Courant?  What are you wearing?

I even got hit on one time by one dude but after going over my wardrobe for that party I was going to attend, after getting to know people living in the gay and lesbian community, after hiring several gay and lesbian employees at my businesses back in Philadelphia, I’m really not happy here in Los Angeles.

Why?

I’m not pretty enough to be hit on here in Los Angeles.

You know education is an important piece of the puzzle of being open to other members of our society.  Meaning that if you get away from your comfort zone and meet others before making decisions based on stupidity, and I admit that I was stupid back in those days, you really can walk away with a much more enriching experience.  It teaches you something when you integrate your whole well being in to an environment beyond your normal mode of life.

Don Lemon…who cares.  There will always be people who will judge those in our communities that are different.  Always be the people who just will not step away from their daily routine to experience something completely different.

Them, well them we don’t have any space left for them.

“People might shun me,” he said during an interview in with the New York Times.
