Kicker Conner Mertens of Willamette (Oregon) University became the first active college football player to publicly come out as LGBT this week when he told his coach, followed by his team, followed by the world via social media, that he is bisexual.

According to outsports.com, Mertens received an overwhelming show of support from coach Glen Fowles and teammates. Mertens also wrote a letter to his hometown of Kennewick, Wash., and published it on his Twitter account.

"I'm bisexual," Mertens reportedly told Fowles. "I like dudes. I have a boyfriend. And next week, I'm going to tell the world."

I’m regularly at a loss with this celebration of homosexuality. Heterosexual people don’t go around to everyone saying, “Hi, I’m straight. I have copulate with the OPPOSITE sex.” Meanwhile, we’re supposed to celebrate the fact that someone has sex someone of their own gender?

Why are we lauding how people have sex? I’m at a loss as to how this is relevant in society.

I agree with you. And in my world, you don’t just try gay. A man who has done anything sexual with another man, even once, is a gay.

Tight End? (Not for long)

He's either a pitcher or catcher, doesn't matter that it's football.

EXACTLY my thought too. It’s just cover because he couldn’t really admit he’s as gay as a unicorn.

This homosexual is so screwed up that he cannot even admit he is gay. Usually homosexuals refer to themselves as gay to escape the admission that they are homosexuals, which in effect, makes them the true definition of homophobes.

This homosexual would have us believe that he is not a homosexual but all the males he has sex with are homosexuals.

He just had to tell the world that he enjoys having foreign objects rammed up his ass. He's so special.
