Who says that they need to know he's gay.  I don't remember any questions
about my sexual orientation other than are you married.  Also, that's why
you have investigation committees and standing committees.  If he's a good
man, his sexual orientation wont matter.  In my lodge, I have seen one man
black-balled and my Master asked if the person how put in the ball would
like to make himself known and explain his reasons.  he didn't have to but
he did.  Kind of nice to know you can say your thoughts openly like that.
AND we tried to initiate a man of color since FREEBORN meant that your
parents were not "slaves"(or serfs or whatever) and there haven't been
slaves for a while.  Besides, as Masonry is worldwide, this all white
baloney doesn;t mesh.  However, the standing committee found some things I
wont go into that would bar ANY MAN from our lodge.
