 but 
lesbians seem to have an easier time living in it than gay 
men do.High-profile lesbian athletes have come out while still playing their 
sports, but not a single gay male athlete in major U.S. professional 
sports has done the same. While television's most prominent same-sex parents 
are the two fictional dads on "Modern Family," surveys show that society 
is actually more comfortable with the idea of lesbians parenting children.And 
then there is the ongoing debate over the Boy Scouts of America 
proposal to ease their ban on gay leaders and scouts.Reaction to the 
proposal, which the BSA's National Council will take up next month, has 
been swift, and often harsh. Yet amid the discussions, the Girl Scouts 
of USA reiterated their policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual 
orientation, among other things. That announcement has gone largely unnoticed.Certainly, 
the difference in the public's reaction to the scouting organizations can 
be attributed, in part, to their varied histories, including the Boy Scouts' 
longstanding religious ties and a base that has become less urban over 
the years, compared with the Girl Scouts'.But there's also an undercurrent 
here, one that's often present in debates related to homosexuality, whether 
over the military's now-defunct "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy or even same-sex 
marriage. Even as society has become more accepting of homosexuality overall, 
longstanding research has shown more societal tolera

Trade Center's twin towers and crippling the Pentagon.Brinkley lauded the 
series of speeches and impromptu remarks that Bush gave in the days 
immediately following 9/11, including the memorable moment when he used 
a bullhorn and, standing with a New York City firefighter amid the 
rubble of the twin towers, declared that the people who knocked these 
buildings down will hear all of us soon." During that period, Bush 
earned the gratitude of all Americans, including those opposed to him politically, 
Brinkley said.I think that because 9/11 is such a defining moment in 
our lives -- like Pearl Harbor or the Kennedy assassination -- people 
will start remembering 9/11, Brinkley told Fox News. George W. Bush, in 
my opinion, did a pretty good job of uniting the country in 
those weeks of dire need. He communicated well; the government functioned."Brinkley 
noted the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and specific security 
enhancements at Americas airports."And we did not get hit again. We werent 
struck again after 9/11," Brinkley said. "He did the best he could.Bush's 
legacy, however, also will be inextricably tied to the still-evolving fates 
of the countries he ordered American troops to invade in the aftermath 
of 9/11: Afghanistan and Iraq. The president, as well as aides like 
Condoleezza Rice, cautioned repeatedly during his two terms that the verdict 
on the success of those massive, multifaceted undertak
