People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

And, btw, I don't like the word "homophobic." You aren't afraid of me. You just don't believe I (or my family) deserve equal rights under the law. You are anti-gay or anti-LGBTQ+. Thom Brennaman is anti-LGBTQ+. And this is a pattern for him.
