		<description>Back in the 70&#039;s when I first got into radio as a sportscaster I had the pleasure to sit down in New York with John Chanin who at the time was the president of the ABC Sports Radio Network. We got on the subject of doing commentary and he said to paraphrase, don&#039;t be afraid to be outspoken and go against the popular and safe way to think. If you want to be popular go into television.

That carried on through my radio broadcasting career into the 80&#039;s and has served me well in my bloggin of the LGBT blog &quot;Focus On The Rainbow&quot; which is now in its third edition as a stand alone rather than part of another website. The new edition is more commentary than the previous editions wherein I take on not only the anti-LGBTs but what I and other like minded bloggers have termed the elite of LGBT blogs, websites and news orgs and LGBT orgs in general.

As Chanin said if I wanted to be popular I&#039;d be in television or as far as putting out an LGBT blog make it a pretty boy blog. I don&#039;t worry about hits and readership as others concern themselves with. The audience I get know what to expect and are often looking for someone &quot;brave enough&quot; to write what needs to be written but are oft afraid to because of retribution.

Retribution, I eat it for breakfast. That&#039;s the difference between a real journalist such as myself and others I know who parcel out real commentary as opposed to the so-called &quot;citizen journalist&quot; who were it not for copy and paste would have nothing on their blogs and have never set foot inside a newsroom much less than bathroom down the hall.

So take the advice of this well written posting as the man knows what he&#039;s talking about.

As Churchill said, &quot;You have enemies? Good. That means you&#039;ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.&quot;</description>
