There is no such thing as "forced diversity".
Just BAD ways of relating to HUMAN DIVERSITY.
In employment...you just have people who are either lazy or bigoted employers.
In art...you have people who are trying to tell stories that they haven't lived and that they don't understand...and therefore they cannot tell that story with any authenticity. As the jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker once said, [i]"If you haven't lived it, it won't come out through your horn." [/i]
That is NOT the case with the Ana Bray story. Her story was well-told. It was just a story that some people--because of their prejudices---are uncomfortable with, didnt' want to hear...
...and this is their effort to put a socially acceptable **fig leaf** on that discomfort.
This guy who grew up in a sheltered family, with a mother who went to Catholic convent school was uncomfortable with being around openly gay people at first.
But I didnt't "blame" them for my discomfort....and I didn't just accept the Catholic Churches views on the subject. I read. watched. Learned...and decided for myself. They are not "sinners'. They rae not "evil". They are not "the dreaded other". They are (as this current Pope is finally acknowledging) not Children of a Lesser God.
They're just **different**.
...and in time I just got over my discomfort, and realized that ----when left alone----they live and love, cry and bleed just like straight people.

That was the story that is being told through Ana Bray. [/b]
