Just kidding, all the best to him, although his sexuality is of no real interest to me.

At the top level of college football (NCAA D-I FBS), the first time an openly gay player was in a game was in 2017 (Scott Frantz, Kansas State). There have been no such players in the NFL to date (unless you count Michael Sam's appearances in preseason games with the Rams in 2014).

I would prefer that people with certain degenerate proclivities keep it to themselves. Why do people insist on announcing to the world they are weird?

I know that. I just have high standards for what belongs in this forum, and what should be posted in other forums. My personal belief is that unless it involves a political or controversial figure, or we are discussing larger social implications, that an individual coming out does not meet this standard. I would be glad to read about it in sports or current events, and I think it's great that Kim wants to help others who are struggling with being themselves. But I'm not sure this is really the best place for it.

This is still a pretty big deal when it happens.

Using your twisted thinking, lets have men and women shower together.


There was a gay man who got carried away on an internet site one night at midnight.

He said........" the sight of a male's package turns me on "

Another poster said,,,,,,,," you better not get turned on looking at my teen son"

He said......" I have the right to use the men's bathroom and I'll look at any male's package I want and get turned on. Nothing you can do about it "
