I never really liked Steve Buckley much as a writer or radio personality, but I liked him a little more as I listened to the story on EEI yesterday.
Nobody should really care about somebody else's sexual orientation, unless it's Rex who deserves to get hammered due to sustained general douchebaggery and a mouth that never stops.
It was kind of touching to hear everybody tell Buckley that it was OK, that everyone seemed happy that he didn't have to hide or feel like this admission was going to wreck his career. That all the knuckleheads that call into that station seemed to totally support him and showed some heart.
I hope the Sox are all cool with it and the macho/ultra hetero locker room atmosphere doesn't prevent him from doing his job as he always has. Somehow, I think everybody has kind of moved past all that and that's a good thing.
I still don't have to like him, but it won't be because of this.
