Who cares?
But the media is happy about this because they want everyone to think it’s perfectly normal, and even jocks are gay.

People of all faiths, all Christians should not watch these games any longer to protest this agenda.

I would give up watching the NBA if I hadn't already done so when Michael Jordan retired....

Now, if his insignificant career comes to an end next year, he can claim he is being discriminated against.

Isn’t coming out as gay the new black? Or the new pink? It’s getting pretty ridiculous. This will soon become passe, so we wonder what will follow.

AMEN! I really don’t give a hoot in hell about your sexual orientation one way or the other. All you are doing is trying to be victim and use your sexual orientation as a crutch to batter anyone or group you chose if they cross you on any issue.

Just go away already.

I don't watch any television programming that uses this agenda for conditioning and control. I have got to where I research companies the best that I can before I give them my money. I use to shop at J.C. Penneys; no longer. The gay people who work in our work department say it is not about getting married; it's about an agenda. These public voices for this have to be pushed back so we have a right to be respected in our views.

I'll bet he was very uncomfortable in the showers before coming out.

Now he can ogle the other players in the shower and feel comfortable in his perversion
and lust for anal sex. It's all about the Gays now, so, you so called normal people
will just have to take it. And if you don't, we'll Fine you, and kick you off the team!
It's all about the Gay.

Another coprophile declares his disgusting behavior. Are we to think that being a high profile athlete gives license to being a pervert who rims and felches with other males?

this is what gets me about these people.

They used ot say it was their bedroom business and their private life but then they come out, have freak parades, tell everyone how they get turned on by feces pushing etc.

Then they got don’t ask which gave them privacy but they now say they want all to know about how they have their sex for some strange reason.

Now we have to hear every week out of tens of millions of people how someone likes their homosexual sex.

Well you know what, I don’t care, do what you want in your bedroom,yes BEDROOM, keep your damn sex life private, I don’t go to work telling everyone what I did with the misses last night, where we did it and how long we did it or what we did. and why th ehell do these people have to act in a certain way, speak a certain way, dress in a certain way and then have frigging flags, parades and announcements.

and they wonder why people like me give them a scorn, give them no time and think they’re mentally F up

well, as liberals, their entire worldview revolves around themselves, and for most of them, their genitals.
