Not really related, but about the same subject, Prince Harry. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/prince-harry/10108456/Prince-Harry-saved-gay-soldier-from-homophobic-attack.html
Prince Harry had a tank at a war game in Canada. One of his tank crewmembers was gay, and had just recently come out. When threatened with bodily harm from other soldiers, ran and hid in the tank. When he explained what was going on, Prince Harry refused to allow the harassment to continue.
Trooper Wharton describes the Prince as "one of my greatest protectors", and claims that his acceptance of his homosexuality made him realise that he was right to be open about it, despite an attack which left him hospitalised.
Trooper Wharton went to find the Prince and tearfully told him "I think I'm going to be murdered by the infantry,” the Mail on Sunday reported.
As he explained what had happened Harry had a “complete look of bewilderment” on his face and responded: “Right I'm going to sort this ---- out once and for all."
Harry not only sorted it out once and for all, (granted that's a little easier when you're the grandson of the Monarch serving in the ROYAL Army.) but genuinely showed interest in the young man, asking questions about his life, and was by all accounts as open minded as the Rethugs are closed minded.
I've never met the Prince, and I don't think I ever will, we don't travel in circles that would intersect. However, I will admit that from what I've learned, a few personal peccadillos aside (Yes, I know about the Nazi uniform at the costume party, and the womanizing, and the drunken benders) when the pressure is on, he seems to do the right thing when it counts. More than could be said about a vast majority of the children of our ruling class. (Yes I know, Joe Biden's son is serving. There is an exception to most generalized statements, go with it on this one.)
