Not as stupid as claiming that that being gay is a choice.

While I've long supporter the right to marry and that others should simply leave others to whatever makes them happy, you should be able to laugh at yourself.
This isnt "laughing at yourself", that is someone trying to emasculate a man based on his sexuality.

That's what guys do. Are people really as sheltered as you seem to be?

Looks like it was just an honest mistake. This same group has preformed the anthem for the Padres on several other occasions without a problem. Just an honest mistake.

San Diego Gay Man's Chorus.

I'm all for equality, but seriously get over yourself.
Unless you have the same problem with the Boy Scouts, I'm not sure why you think this is a good opinion to share.

This has nothing to do with being sheltered or saying "boys will be boys".You argued that it was just people laughing at themselves, and you would be wrong.

Only for the militant ones. The hardcore members of any group tend to be like that.

Gay people are just like everyone else IMHO. Some are funny, some are mean, some are too serious, some are boring, some are prejudice, some are unbelievably kind, etc.

Finally, your sexuality is a matter of chemistry not choice.

They apologized but it seems odd that nobody thought about why the chorus was on the field in the first place and played the recorded anthem instead.
