It's okay to be gay, judge tells boys 
By MALCOLM BROWN 
     Homosexuals deserve acceptance, are no better or worse than other people, 
and it is "totally unrealistic" to expect them to remain celibate, Justice 
Michael Kirby said yesterday.
     The High Court judge ­ who has "outed" himself as a homosexual ­ was 
addressing students at St Ignatius College, Riverview, the prestigious 
Catholic private school.
