By now most folks have hear of the heroic actions of intern, Daniel Hernandez and his acts that may have saved Congresswoman Giffords life. By now most people also know he was gay. That is not the story today, the heroism is and that tells me a lot about how far we have come.
35 years ago another gay man, Oliver Sipple saved the life of President Gerald Ford during an assassination attempt and for his heroism he got estranged from his family and controversy. The LA Times has the stories of both Hernandez and Sipple here.
