As I became more interested I listened to additional interviews. It wasn't until I listened to one in particular (I think it was <A HREF="http://thoughtcast.org/casts/philosopher-kwame-anthony-appiah" REL="nofollow">this</A> one that I learned he was gay. I had no clue. On his website there are pictures of him and his companion.<BR/><BR/><I>"Wow, Appiah's gay? That'll make him a popular guy in his home country!"</I> <BR/><BR/>Perhaps if they shared his philosophy of cosmopolitanism and became "citizens of the world" and learned to treat ALL people with respect inspite of their differences, it wouldn't matter.<BR/><BR/><I>Kum-ba-yah.</I> :P<BR/><BR/>btw, john b. if by "home country" (Appiah considers himself a citizen of the world) you mean Ghana, Ghana has an "incipient" humanist movement.

I have noticed how homophobia seems to be more pronounced among minorities (Asian/Hispanic/Black/whatever) and I've always found that interesting.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245472084190224186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-89450722350510232002008-06-11T18:53:00.000-07:002008-06-11T18:53:00.000-07:00Wow, Appiah's gay?
