3. Josh is part of the internet generation who will not tolerate the BS of the 20th century

The world and human views of the college age and younger crowd are significantly different from 30 year olds, let alone anyone older. Homophobia and anti-marriage equality views are as foreign to them as vinyl records, black and white televisions or hand cranked automobiles. I welcome their views that are replacing too many hateful ones of their elders.
