Question Should Women Officials Seek A Mentor Of The Same Sex

Rainmaker,
I have alot of respect for you after your last reply to this topic(not that I didn't have respect for you before) I need forums to bring some light to the subjects at hand. I must admit I would not ask a "gay" male official to mentor myself. I am just not comfortable with that situation, and I am sure that some officials will sound off on my position on this. I am just not allright with some things, and this has nothing to do with another officials sexuality, it has something to do with my choices! Can you imagine if an officials organization has a program for mentors, and a new official is assigned a mentor who he/she
is uncomfortable with because of that officials sexual preference? I say the men with the men, and the women with the women for obvious reasons! Plus mentoring a women official for me as a married man, may not make my wife very happy.
