I was seriously wondering why anyone would consider being Gay a "Gift from God", any more than being Hetero would be. Or being male or female, or black, white, asian, whatever. It seemed a weird thing to say, as if given the choice in the womb you'd plump for Gay every time 'cos Gay is better than Straight.
But as aBlokeFromEarth has pointed out, it's more about sending a positive message that it's okay to be gay, that you should celebrate it, not feel alone or allow yourself to be demonised. So yeah, now I get it.
I doubt that Cook actually does wake up every morning with an earnest prayer of thanks to God for making him gay!
