Read the comments at the end of the article. Apparently (according to the amateur commentators) if you do anything other than express 100% endorsement of sodomy, it's hate speech.

I’m pretty sure she is still gay, just not a ‘practicing gay’. I

Read it earlier. This is the result of humanism. We are here:Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute. Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

If there’s any good advice that I can give young people today, it would be to NOT bare your soul (or anything else you might think it would be ‘cool’ to bare) - on the Internet/Facebook/Twitter.

She probably never was gay, but simply succumbed to peer pressure.

There is an expression on college campuses and from what I can tell applies somewhat more to female athletes. LUG:
Lesbian Until Graduation.
To: Ingtar; Maine Mariner
From what I’ve seen/heard, this is the case. Either they think it’s ‘cool’ and the thing to do/claim; or they’re pressured into proclaiming it, whether it’s true or not; or they are harassed because they’re straight.

Trakh retracted the job offer, LeNoir said, and advised her to remove the video if she ever wanted to work in college basketball.she said homosexuality was wrong and not worth losing your soul over.
Rule number one: Dont bare your soul on social media.
She lost the job because she is a professing Christian who believes in Christian values.
She lost the job because she is not the modern Who am I to judge? Christian.
Christians are now social outcaste. A strange turn of events in a nation founded by Christians which at the time of the founding nearly all of the original 13 states had state religions.

“...no longer gay”? - I thought that wasn’t possible....
To: Jamestown1630
I think you are right-it is a combination of “being cool”
and peer pressure.
About 10 years ago, groups within colleges really began pushing students to file sexual harassment charges against faculty and coaches. One of the first cases, a straight
female athlete brought formal charges of sexual harassment
against her coach. The left wing groups cheered until they found that the coach was a female and gay.

No longer gay?
Why is she sad now? Her dog die?

I wonder if there’s a lawsuit in this - if she has proof that she was offered and accepted the job, and that she was later rejected purely because of her sexual orientation -
That’s ‘discrimination’.

It seems like this might be a useful one, if the young woman is honest.

LeNoir has filed a federal lawsuit charging New Mexico State with discrimination. She says the Aggies' head coach, Mark Trukh, offered her an assistant coaching position but later revoked the offer. From the article.

Your post illustrates the confusion between the idea of “gay” as an integral, even inborn, characteristic of a person, and “gay” as a behavior descriptor, “This person has a sexual attraction for or has sex with people of the same sex.”
Which is it?

The lawsuit GUARANTEES she won’t ever get a job.
