Charles Barkley is sick and tired of hearing how the sanctuary of the locker room is not ready for a male athlete in a major team sport to come out to his teammates, how awkward everyone would feel after they heard a teammates say, “I’m gay.”
After all, Barkley has no doubt he played with several gay teammates.

Something you want to tell us, Chuck?
The only people that wouldn’t mind appearing naked in front of gay teammates are those who are gay themselves or exhibitionists.
Of course, as entertainment and sports are full of exhibitionists, they wouldn’t mind.
so a team mate likes ot get off in a certain way and they feel the need to tell us that and then ask for equal rights.
What a frigging joke this is.
And in the buisness world, the ability to do the job should outweigh the color of ones skin.
Charles, when I walk into the women’s restroom at work, it’s called “sexual harassment” even if I don’t say anything to them. That’s because I’m attracted to women.
What do you call it when a gay man is in the locker room with men, Chuck? I’ll give you a hint: same thing.
Turrible. Just turrible.
Around 20 years ago when I was living in NYC and in a financial bind with my pregnant wife in law school, I worked as a bartender in a high-end gay bar.
There were not lots of gay professional athletes that would show-up but there were quite a few, mostly from baseball and some from football and basketball.
From what I could tell, these guys were not trying to hide their orientation and it was clear that while the public may not have known, their teammates did know.
Well, to solve that locker room problem, you could have separate locker rooms for homosexual males. Frankly, you might have to do something like that to resolve the issue of getting dressed and undressed and sex attraction and all that.
But it might be considered bigoted if men wanted to send the “gay” men to a separate locker room.
SORRY.
NO FAGS ALLOWED IN THE LOCKER ROOM !!
Several were also same-sex pedophiles, but hey,as long as they can play b’ball for bucks, no problem.
If you guys are so afraid of gays in the locker room, don’t be. Unless you are a serious hottie they will not be getting turned on. You guys really think that if you changed on the beach and your towel blew away at the wrong moment, all the girls will be delirious with desire? Not so, my friends.
How bout naming a few. Sounds like BS to me. Football is a man’s sport, not a fag’s.

The goal is to allow the deviants, full, unhindered, access to the object of their sick obsession.
“How bout naming a few.”
No.
I thought that freak Dennis Rodman was gay - or at least a polysexual.
Each and every day I discover another thing to add to the “shove it up you smelly Obama, slimebag liberals” list.
The fight is coming.
And it isn’t gonna be pretty.
And we have the names of all responsible “progressives”
Not interesting unless you give us their names, Charles.
Been watching your homophilic postings for some time. Why NO—it was 20 years ago? That is exactly why I said BS.
Barkley is right, he’s NOT a role model for our kids.
Does anybody really care what an idiot like Charles Barkley has to say about anything?
I don’t have a problem with what Barkley says here. If I own or coach a team, I want the best players, regardless of sexual orientation, race, etc.
Uh, wasn`t Barkley the one who got arrested for drunk driving while in a hurry to get a blow job from some street whore ?
Why is this fat pig puke even on TV anymore and why is he moralizing to ANYONE !?

“I really like ESPN,” Barkley added. “They do a great job. But like once every two or three months, they bring all these people on there, and they tell me how me and my team are going to respond to a gay guy.
“First of all, every player has played with gay guys. It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say, ‘Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.’ First of all, quit telling me what I think. I’d rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can’t play.”
I hear what your saying, but players are regularly traded/cut because they are locker room “problems”. I’m not refering here to sexual orientation. Think Terrell Owens.
If a group of “straights” were to make an issue of it, which way to you think it would go? Personally, I don’t know. We are in an era where a star basketball player can get a coach fired or get his free-agent buddies on his team. Then again, we are also in an era where the commissioner of the NFL will fine/suspend a player for a homophobic epithet yelled in the heat of battle.
“all the girls will be delirious with desire? Not so, my friends.”
Comparing the sexual desires of women to those of men is apples and oranges. Are gay males less visually oriented than straight males?
Well, Charles, since you observed that you did have gay teammates, it is obvious that the ability to play DID outweigh sexual orientation.
Logic is your friend!
amazingly, no one would care if you don’t announce it
That’s just turbl!
So perversion is alright with you then. Pathetic.
If any of the major sports leagues start accepting perversion then they lose my support.
So your point is that only beautiful people should be concerned about modesty?
Homely people aren’t entitled to a measure of privacy since nobody really cares anyway?
I seem to remember his support of homosexuality as well in many previous posts. It figures that he claims to have worked in a gay bar.
Whatever. I’m tired of people acting like professional basketball is important. Perhaps it does add to the sales of silly clothes, jewelry and tatoos. Beyond that, the salutary effects head toward zero in a hurry.

“I seem to remember his support of homosexuality as well in many previous posts.”
Where have I been supportive of homosexuality?
LOL. Marilyn Manson is so freaking creepy.
I know guys get turned on by even seeing the average naked woman. But I’ve known gay guys who think it’s so silly that straight men fear them in the locker room. They are very picky and do not care about the bodies of most men.
We girls have had to change in front of obvious lesbian gym teachers forever. That’s worse.
No! LOL. Everyone should be modest. But in a locker room, people should get on with what they need to do, change quickly, use a towel to the shower, whatever, and not worry if one of the people in there might be homosexual.
And if you look like a movie star, if your body is like that guy in the Old Spice commercials, get used to the fact that the gay guys WILL be staring. And talking to you in the parking lot. :) You might have to make your own gym at home!!
Yeah, except the gays could claim sexual harassment by other gays.
Even that doesn’t work. They’d each need their very own locker room.
Try in this thread here:

When I claimed that the people had a right to legislate against perverse behavior you argued that homosexuality was protected under the 14th Amendment. You continually tried to equate homosexual to heterosexual behavior in order to protect it throughout the discussion. You then went on to make the ‘consenting adults’ argument made by all supporters of perversion rights.
I am sure if I look further that this wasn’t the only time I encountered you defending perversion rights in support of homosexuality. It doesn’t surprise me at all that you now admit to working in a gay bar.
The thread in questions was regarding an attempt in Montana to make homosexual acts illegal.
You appeared to advocate such a law that would make homosexual act illegal.
I simply stated that homosexual acts cannot be made illegal due to 14th Amendment and the Lawrence v. Texas ruling.
I don’t see how pointing to a Constitutional Amendment and a SCOTUS ruling deems one to be supportive a homosexuality.
Sorry, but I was not one of the six Justices on the SCOTUS who voted with the majority in Lawrence v. Texas.
You didn’t simply state anything but argued it. You continually tried to equate homosexuality to heterosexuality as if they should be treated equally and used the argument always used by the left-wing claiming that we all should accept any perverse behavior as long as it is between two consenting adults.
Besides you why do you use the Lawrence case as a basis for your argument as if you agree with it? Being that it was a judicial activist decision I would think that you would oppose it if you do not support perversion rights.
Like it or not, Lawrence is the Law of the Land.
And states cannot pass laws that are in direct violation of the US Constitution or SCOTUS Rulings.
You and your buddies down at the gay bar keep telling yourselves that. Lawrence though will not stand for long.
At least men have a “barometer” to tell if the stares cause “excitement”. There is this active duty nurse who showed how “proud” he was in the gym shower and no doubt a product of DADT (By the way the guy carried himself). Eventually people started to complain and he disappeared for awhile. He is back, but “waits his turn” now (This is a gym that has a lot of civilian contractors/dependents/retiree traffic).
