I wish it was dealt with in the 20-20 interview but he is at least talking about how it affects him. That is all I really ask. It would be nice if he came out as an advocate but it sounds lkie he is at least not acting like he is ashamed of PD. Walter may have differences with him regarding his theology and the "friends" he keeps but those areas are not my concern at least as far as this list goes.
