Bigot Of The Day - Pamela Grothaus

"I don’t think I have ever met a homosexual who didn’t inform me of his or her homosexuality within minutes of our introduction. This has happened to me several times—with co-workers, clients, and, yes, even military personnel. I really didn’t care to know, didn’t need to know, and probably would have guessed anyway. Why do these people so desperately want to be identified, above all else, by their sexual preference? I certainly don’t feel compelled to announce my sexuality to anyone and everyone I meet. Can you imagine? Hi, I’m Pam, and I’m a heterosexual writer." - Pamela Grothaus, columnist for the Naples News.

Miami Herald columnist Steve Rothaus notes that the very first sentence of her online bio at the newspaper is this: "While I was busy building a marriage, raising two kids, and forging a career over three decades, the America I took for granted morphed into a nation I barely recognize today." Somebody is announcing their sexuality!
