Are you more important than the gay athlete coming out? Is there a reason YOU can share so much but the gay athlete isn't allowed to? Don't like hearing about gay athletes? Too bad. They have a right to speak out just as much as you do.

And do you think they should tolerate people saying nasty things about the deaf? Or how about Asians?

Are you upset that even sports isn't a "safe space" for cavemen? Like kinda how some white people get mad when they get taken to task for using the "N" word like they used to be able to back in the day when "men were men and nobody cared about PC bullcrap?"

Gays should not be allowed in the locker room or showers of the sex they are attracted to either
Lockerrooms and bathrooms aren't segregated by sexual preference. They are segregated by sex.

You go where the plumbing matches everyone else.

Not every gay man wants you. Not every woman wants you. Usually those who believe the gay guys want to hang off their jock are the ugliest dudes walking around.

If someone of the same sex hits on you, mature individuals who are not gay can use the same strategy they employ when warding off unwanted advances from the opposite sex: "Sorry, not interested... or, even better: "Sorry, not gay." That will take care of the problem 99% of the time.

No one cares, and you're fishing for hate so you can whine about it and act superior.

Liberals are one-trick ponies.

Anyone that says anything that is glowing gets demonized and labeled as scared of homos. Free speech does not exist anymore. What he said wasnt even bad. Yet, since it dared not to be glowing, Wallace gets slammed and labeled. ********* media and the rest of you.

Again, it takes courage to speak unflattering of homos, not to "come out".
I guess folks aren't allowed to have an opinion. Reminds me let me check out Eric Williams feed he's been going hard on the homosexuals lately. It's kind of funny but he tends to over do it.

It gets even better, when he has broadcast so much private details to complete strangers that the internet at large knows that he was also breastfed, and as a result is "over" breasts... but did you know that he enjoys the company of a young women, including some "very hot and bright African females?"

How would I know this? WHY do we know this? Easy: Posted information on the internet... talk about TMI, and then these same people have the nerve to talk about what should be private.

Of course, not a problem in the real world... people talk about sex, relationships, their private lives, what and who they are attracted to. Just SOME people believe that they do not have to meet standards they set for others.

The same ones who complain about anyone "broadcasting their private lives" appear to have no problem with wedding announcements, television shows, gossip mags, etc.

Hypocricy, pure, unadulterated hypocricy.

The only people this will affect are homophobic idiots.

And yes, I've been in the locker room with people who I knew was gay, and it didn't affect me one bit.

Take the sexuality out of it.
This man probably either has a partner that he's been hiding, or would like to one day have a partner that he won't want to hide.
Coming out and saying that he's gay will negate any shock (for lack of a better word) later when he's in public with his boyfriend or maybe some day husband. If suddenly he appears with another man it's going to be a bigger deal because there is going to be first the "is he or isn't he" then the "he is" followed by the "why was he hiding it?" and all that nonsense.

And yes, Rock Hudson would not have had a career if it was known that he was gay, but thank God our society has grown up since then. An openly gay actor now may not be the leading man in a hetero romantic movie, but would certainly not have problems finding work today.

But you don't hide it or deliberately pretend to be something else do you?
