Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.
If somebody is saying that I should not compete because I'm a man, I don't know what to say to that. And if somebody is saying that I had it easy, I would invite them to join the military and enter Indiana politics in 2010 as a gay person. See how easy they find it.
