I still like him.

I, indeed, hurt for Ray.

Just the suddenness to his wife and children coming after he had struggled so long before telling them.

Yes, I hurt for all of them. I read the entire article with fascination. I love many of his songs. I don't necessarily think this makes him a bad messenger, though, as the thread title suggests. The article doesn't really go into great detail about his lifestyle or how he is living as a homosexual. It stated, even, that he didn't want to comment on his first time with a man (whatever that means). But, I guess my point is that I don't think any less of the guy based on what I read.

Already a thread on this, but a really good article nonetheless.
