Harrison27, I think you have found out that People are People, Period.
Brother Jono said a whole lot that made a lot of sense. If something is new to an individual, it can be a scarry thing until you get to know the person as an individual as a Brother and a Friend!
I had the pleasure of being at BN Founders Day and meeting Jono for the first time.
He is one of the most dedicated Brothers that I know and one of my best Friends!
Good luck and remember, the first time a Black Brother joined LXA, there ws the same problem, and I am sure the same goes for Asian Brothers!
I do not know if there have any gay Brothers in my Zeta, but we have African-American and Asian-Americans and I am Proud to call them My Brothers!
