New season of Amazing Race will include gay brother from Fort Worth
Alex Bentley says:
Oh, and his brother's gay, too ... and they came out at virtually the same time ... and they grew up in a conservative Christian house. It's the same ol' story.

i don't understand...what's the "same ol story",mean? .... that a conservative christian house has TWO GAY BROTHERS? Why is this newsworthy that the amazing race has two gay contestants? are they the FIRST GAY CONTESTANTS on the Amazing Race? just my opinion.....

Oh Aaalleeex! You got some splainin to do!
Alex Bentley, says:
My attempt at a joke, David -- guess it fell flat with you. I put up the item more for the local angle than the gay angle -- as you seem to be aware, this is far from the first time that the show has featured gay contestants. But their story (for more, click on the link) is a tad unusual, which I'd argue is somewhat interesting in a reality TV kind of way.

Don't feel bad Alex. Imagine the unbridled mob scene had the headline been that a gay brother was excluded from the show.
Err on the side of safety.
