Where is Kermit Washington when you need him?

Are you suggesting that Rudy T is gay?

I wonder if his twin brother is a bone smuggler?

Should he be if homosexuality is inbred since they are identical twins?

His brother must come out as homosexual now or the gay gene claim will be discredited.

Most cities and states have a ‘human relations commission’, or something similar.

It pretty much ensures that there is a ‘cost’ associated with laying off or firing a minority, if they choose to file a complaint.

It emboldens them accessing your children in schools. Parents are marginalized and threatened. Wedding business people being sued, church organizations being sued, Boy Scouts etc.

Apathy is a win for their side.

Is there a reason I should care? As long as he doesn’t marry his lover in a halftime ceremony I really don’t care.

You're going to be made to care about it by the sports media. This is just the beginning of using sports as a means to promote homosexuality.

If an NFL player comes out as a homo, Bob Costas, no doubt, will give a long halftime editorial about the need for the sports community to accept homosexual players.

Not at all! He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I meant that one funny touch on the court on KW, and one punch would teach the uncloseted one a lesson.

For the record, I don't literally mean for that level of violence to come to the attention-seeker on the court, but would understand players reacting more strongly to someone openly comfortable with unnatural impulses.

Hunter’s a Christian, so it’s a wonder they didn’t take notes to remind themselves to harass him.

The White House:

“Here at the White House we view this as another example of the progress we’ve made and the evolution that has taken place,” press secretary Jay Carney said when asked if President Obama had a statement on Collins. Carney said he had not talked to the president directly about Collins.

Makes you wonder if someone at the White House is going to come out.

If you were an NBA player, you might care, as NBA basketball these days is a contact sport. When he gets special protected status and lawsuits start flying, and an informal affirmative action of sorts takes place, and baseball, football and hockey are pressured to follow suit, you might care.

Or not. You don't have to care.

Yes, and its also a way to brainwash people into thinking there are so many “closeted” players, when in reality most gay men are not into playing sports or are athletics.
I mean watching and listening to the media all of a sudden get on this pro sports and gay thing, you would thing half of all athletes are gay just like the media tries to make people think half of the general population is gay.

Maybe its because there are so many fags and dykes in news rooms and in the cities where they live. They’re all in some f&cked up immoral bubble.

It was always a contact sport and Magic Johnson played with Aids. If it was accepted 20 years ago, there won’t be a problem with it today.

Watch for Magic to finally come out of the closet.

“Middling”? This guy is one of those roster fillers who has averaged less than 2 points and 2 rebounds per game over the past 8 seasons. He gets hired to take a minimum salary and play a few minutes per game to give the stars a breather, while freeing up salary cap space. He’s a free agent and had little hope of landing another job next season.

But now he’s made himself poster boy of the progressives and a number of teams will be scrambling to have him sit on their bench as souvenir, proving that the whole “gay” rights movement is more about gaining special privileges for the mediocre than about equality. This ain’t exactly a Jackie Robinson moment for the NBA.


Bingo and the left propaganda machine will be harping on this nobody of a player for weeks on TV, Hollywood will tweet and praise this nobody. Yet Tebow is told to STFU about his Christianity. Sure if Tebow was better most people would take him regardless of his faith but the double standard is bold.

RE: Who gives a crap what he does in the privacy of his home.

As I said before.

Oscar Wilde used to call it “The Love that dares not speaks its name”

Today, it has become “The Love that won’t shut the F up!”
