Really, what difference does it make whether or not someone is "normal" or not. "Normal" isn't necessarily good or better; it's just what is more common.

Then stop paying attention to it and stop crying about it.

There is no "look at me, I'm homosexual" coming out parties. Press conferences and tense, emotional conversations maybe, but no "parties" of which you seem to fantasize about.

Focus on you and yours and stop worrying about other people's loves lives. Why are you so obsessed with it?

Stop looking then.

Sure it is.

Gay men can tackle. Gay men can be tackled. Gay men can sit in the stands and cheer. Gay men can sell you a beer. Gay men can be the officials. Gay men can own a team. Gay men can drive the bus that takes the team from the hotel to the stadium.

The only problem I have with my favorite star getting tackled by a gay man is that it means we aren't gaining yardage. I'd have the same problem if the tackler were straight.

It's the 21st century and when these gay players come out you are in for a heck of a shock.

Spartans were gay. Don't see why homosexuality and masculinity/femininity are so tied together.


If Ray Lewis said that he was gay would people be calling him soft all of a sudden?

I am one of those masculine gay men that most people think is straight. I have no sense of that fashion we gay men are supposed to be blessed with. I am a fabulous cook, but that is about the only thing fab about me. To many people, the gay men they think of is the stereotype presented by mass media and unfortunately from my experience and what I have seen, many young gay men take on the demeaner expected and portrayed by the media and thus become exactly what society expects. I do know a few gay men and lesbians that do not fit the stereotypical profile, but most that I know, especially the men, adopt a gay persona. I have many gay friends that watch football, baseball and hockey and one that is on a gay baseball team.

The good news is all of the people who are mad about a gay player coming out will, in a matter of 10-20 years at most, be seen as what they really are: bigots. Right now a slim majority already sees them as that.
