High School Basketball Coach Tells Players He’s Gay, Gets Hugs
New York Magazine ^ | June 24,2013

Posted on 06/25/2013 3:24:55 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Your heartwarming story of the day: Anthony Nicodemo, the head coach for the Saunders High School basketball team in Yonkers, started to think about coming out of the closet after Jason Collins announced that he was gay in April. Last month, the 35-year-old went to an LGBT sports conference where he heard Collins speak firsthand. It was then that, despite his apprehensions about the reaction of his players and the risk of losing his position, Nicodemo resolved to finally come out. At a team meeting yesterday, he told a group of past and present players that he was gay. The players "literally embraced him," reports Outsports.

They also embraced him, less literally, on Twitter:

Homosexuality is the new abortion.

I always find this odd as well. I think everyone has their odd little kinks and perversions. But a lot of gays seem to have an irresistible urge to announce themselves.

I don’t mean gay people who passively mention a same sex relation passively in natural conversation. There’s a few like that where I work. They didn’t announce themselves (of course, every knew anyway by the way they acted).

But the ones who make a big deal out of coming out... It’s like they just *need* to make an event out of it. It’s important that a big deal be made out of what they do with their privates.

It’s an extension of the Facebook culture I guess. People are obsessed with the idea that everyone should be engrossed with the minutia of their daily lives. News flash, peeps: you’re not that interesting!

I think that's why I like Breaking Bad so much.

There hasn't been one solitary fag on it in five seasons.

It is not heartwarming for a man to receive another man’s penis inside his anus. That is disgusting and nothing to be proud of.

Imagine what would have happened had he “come out” as a Tea Partier. Can you feel the love? It is conservatives who have been shoved in the closet and silenced.

Well they are from NY. They have already been taught to drop the soap by Bloomberg.

After all, we know that every male living in NY is a metrosexual queer. Yes, that is to piss off NY'ers. Fix your problem, because I will not. And the Yankees suck.

A coach began discussing sexual habits with his players. There was a time when you’d get put on a list.

American media is now officially all-gay, all the time.

Don't ask don't tell was only bad policy for the military.

Homosexuals have written that they find it easier to push their agenda in the MSM if they remain closeted to the home viewing/reading audience.

Full disclosure, out the pink journalistas. The public deserves to know WHY these issues are pushed to the forefront and why the perspective is always one sided.

What in the heck does whether or not he’s gay have to do with baseball? And why announce it, for God’s sake? Now the administration would seem imprudent not to keep an eye on him as at least dishonesty, along with God knows what else lurks within the guy.

A revelation I would not be happy with as a parent.
