Beyond the pros and cons of legal reform, there is a separate moral issue. The clear-cut condemnations of the Bible or of traditional moral philosophy have come to be considerably toned down. An influential 1963 statement by British Quakers held that "homosexual affection can be as selfless as heterosexual affection" and therefore is not necessarily a sin. A surprising number of Protestant churchmen accept this idea. Most will still assert that homosexuality is an offense against God and man, but usually with qualifications.

A two-way player who averaged 50 min. of action per game, Hawkins runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.7 sec. Naturally, that impresses the pros. So does his "ability to improvise when standard defensive patterns fail...
