for them, hate is something they understand. Gene Robinson is iconic as a gay person and a barrier breaker. The boldness that Robinson showed when his entire future could have been taken away from him stands to this day as an outstanding example of bravery. The haters only saw the President Obama invited Warren, they ignored that a person, Robinson, of much larger statue was also invited.
