he says he never wanted to hear
someone say, "Oh, THAT'S why he wrestles."In fact, though more gay and
lesbian athletes are coming out in college, gay male professional athletes
in major sports have waited to do so until they have left
their sport, one of the more recent being Robbie Rogers, an American
soccer player who played professionally in England. There have been reports
that gay male athletes who are currently playing may be on the
verge of going public.But women have already done so with little backlash.U.S.
soccer star Megan Rapinoe, for instance, came out right before she played
in last year's Olympics. WNBA star Seimone Augustus and the league's No.
1 draft pick, Brittney Griner, are some of the more recent female
athletes to follow suit.In Hollywood in recent years, both openly gay men
and lesbians have had successful careers. And when it comes to television
and movies, it appears there are more high-profile gay male characters.Still,
while many see the two dads on the "Modern Family" sitcom as
groundbreaking, others have a sense that the societal discomfort with gay
men as parents is at the root of many of the jokes."A
good portion of that is for comedic effect," says Don Todd, a
32-year-old father in a two-dad family in Orange, Calif. He doesn't think

that is "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person.""Their officers use what
seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," he said.Nick Nayak, chief
procurement officer for the Department of Homeland Security, did not challenge
Chaffetz's numbers.However, Nayak sought to counter what he described as
several misconceptions about the bullet buys.Despite reports that the department
was trying to buy up to 1.6 billion rounds over five years,
he said that is not true. He later clarified that the number
is closer to 750 million.He said the department, on average, buys roughly
100 million rounds per year.He also said claims that the department is
stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that
the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.The
department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training
and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.While Democrats likened
concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised
concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition."This is not about conspiracy
theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform
