So should Sensuret have qualified his announcing his sexuality by saying that Alpha does not generally take gay men? It seems that he was accepted with open arms by his brothers in his chapter.
I agree that sexuality is an issue that all fraternities are facing now as more and more men become comfortable with "coming out of the closet." I know a few fraternities have clause that they do not descriminate on the issue of sexuality; I'm not sure if Alpha does or not, and not being an Alpha, I guess it's really none of my business.
Again, I think that all of us reach a certain point where we feel like we can admit almost anything to our brothers, from our feelings on politics to our personal choices, to those things about us that we are born with (like our sexuality). When someone shares something personal with their brothers, and it is met with almost universal opposition (as well as private comments that are less than flattering), it's reasonable to think that that person may be pushed over the edge.
To answer PHA Shriner's comments; I don't think any of this is "PC" garbage. It's a real point about large difference of opinion that seems to exist on the boards as a whole and in society as a whole. I think it's a worthy conversation to have.
