'Being a man', to you then, is walking away timidly from something you consider wrong? Going out of one's way to avoid being discriminated against?

Even if you disagree with them, their willingness to risk public ridicule in order to fight for what they sincerely consider to be not only their rights but the rights of millions of other citizens is something I think we all respect. Walking away would have been much easier. With values like those you seem to espouse, I'm starting to get why Trump is president.
