Some of you may remember, a few months back some guy failed the Massachusetts bar exam, and sued because he failed by one question--the catch being that he refused to answer a question about Massachusetts' gay marriage law on moral grounds.
Apparently he has had a change of heart, and has not only dropped his lawsuit, but also publicly apologized for his idiocy.
In the same way that I was happy to mock him earlier, I would like to applaud him now. It takes balls to admit that you were that wrong, especially when it would have been very easy to quietly withdraw the lawsuit and fade out of memory.
I hope that as a result of his lawsuit, he had the opportunity to meet and talk to people in our community who reached out to him, and learn to see beyond the prejudice and fear that society instilled in him. Effecting change on a grand scale will come as a result of effecting change in a lot of individuals.
