The Anonymous Widower

Usain Bolt

I’ve never seen anything like him.  I should think bets are off as to whether he finally beats a time of 9.4 seconds.  Good luck to him too, as he seems to be a nice bloke too.

I do feel sorry for Tyson Gay though.  He’s obviously a great athlete too, and in most generations he would be some distance ahead of the others, but for Usain.

He also has to deal with the problems of some say in his name.  When I was growing up, gay was a word that was often paired with happy and girls were often called Gaynor, Gai and Gay.  Now like many other words, it’s usage has changed and I don’t think too many people bother.  I don’t.

But America’s Christian Right do and automatically change his name on their web sites.

I thought religion was all about loving your neighbour and not hating them for their sexuality.  What happened to the parable of the Good Samaritan?
