bradley87: This is Ted.  About Ted: “Have a Doctorate degree from Covington Theological Seminary and pastor full time in a Southern Baptist Church. Retired from the Air Force Reserves as an E-8 in 1995 with eight years active duty and 13 years in the reserves. Retired from the postal service as a Manager in January 2009. Been married to Terri Montgomery for 38 years. Have a great life and a wonderful family. I am truly blessed.” Ted is also a bigot who sees GAY everywhere he looks. (Really? “Significant other” is “a term coined by the gay community”? Really?) What I’m saying is that I wouldn’t mind if you went here and made fun of Ted. I think he probably deserves it. Things I learned during a Wikipedia binge:  The first known occurrence of the term [significant other] was in 1953 by US psychiatrist, Harry Stack Sullivan, a former editor of the journal Psychiatry, in his posthumously published work,The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry Sullivan had a long-term relationship with James Inscoe Sullivan (“Jimmie”). Jimmie was known to Sullivan’s associates as his adopted son, which allowed Sullivan to keep his sexual identity in the closet. The scary thing about Ted Sessoms is that he probably knew that without having to look it up Wikipedia. WHY WOULD ANYONE KNOW THAT?
