As might be expected, Huffington Post is making a big deal of NY Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy saying he could accept a gay teammate even though he disagrees with the Lifestyle.
I can't say I see what the problem is. He didn't say he hated gays or that he would not welcome a gay teammate. In fact, he said clearly that he could accept such a teammate. It is time we got ourselves straight on this; we do not have to like or agree with everything everyone else does. The fact that we disagree with it may not justify our behavior towards others, but we cannot mandate agreement with everyone or everything they do.
The important comment he makes is: "I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect. You can still accept them but I do disagree with the lifestyle, 100 percent."
Not a damned thing wrong with that!
