Since she doesn’t want to answer questions about her sexual orientation, maybe she’ll answer this one. “In that picture of you playing softball, were you playing for a team in a lesbian softball league?”
Calm down. Although the picture may suggest to the gay community something about Ms. Kagan’s sexual orientation, it does not–it does not–make the same suggestion to the Amercians at large. Instead, it makes the suggestion that Ms. Kagan is a real person, a softball player, a person whose free time includes sports, and someone with a competitive nature. Instead, the picture connects with many Americans in a simple, wholesome place–sports–and at a time when baseball is in its opening Spring season.
This is a good example of gays and lesbians being too self-absorbed in own own community. We are quick to take to task others who may stereotype us, but when we do that ourselves, because we can’t see the larger picture (pun intended) we hurt our own community.
Regardless the speculation, no one loses here if we are positive about this person, her accomlishments, and her nomination.
