Gay figure skaters?

I’m shocked!

Next thing you’ll tell me is that male ballet dancers are gay...

[ ...”Oh! Look at me! Loud and Proud!” ]

It's built into their nature from long ago. They're parading their behavior in front of God. This is an act of defiance.

The closer the world gets to the Tribulation period, the more this will increase. Tagline.

Isaiah 3:9 New International Version (NIV)

9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.

“I see ESPN is still as gay as always.”

Never watched Ass Muncher Sports Network in more than 12 years. If I could remove it from my sat dish, I would.

I’ve never watched it either, FRiend.

And they keep inventing more reasons for me not to watch it.

There have have been brother-sister teams like the Shibutanis.

There have been plenty of gay men.

It’s not like romance hasn’t been downplayed or faked before.

Canadian figure skater Elvis Stojko gave all the appearances of being a flaming homosexual, but it turns out not to be the case. He’s married to a smoking hot Mexican figure skater.

That explains why they can’t just rely on their talents to prove themselves. Could it be they have to keep selling their lifestyle choice to avoid the truth and conviction in their conscience?

Hope they fail misreably. Like their “relationships” do.

Of course there’s never been a case of a fruit being “married” to a woman.

I'm inclined to think he's definitely heterosexual. He's taken a lot of crap in Canada in recent years for some public comments criticizing effeminate male skaters.

I always assumed he was gay because he was a flamboyant character, but he was also a tremendous athlete -- built like a pro hockey player. He was big in martial arts, and I think he was the first skater ever to turn a quad jump in competition.

This activity as a competition will end once the trannies muscle their way in.

Darn, I miss their performance - on purpose.

Don't miss Madison Chock - dined with her several times.

There is no way that I am believing this is the first homo-lesbo team to ever skate together.

“...Manta and Johnson will challenge the norms that have long governed the sport.”

What ‘norms’? Has there ever been a straight male figure skater? I certainly can’t think of any. As far as the females go, it’s just a feminist thing - being a lesbian is nothing more than simply making a ‘statement’ about hating guys - they can flip back and forth every 5 minutes, if they want to.

I recall a pair skating to Gloria Gaynor’s “I will survive.” The moves didn’t fit the song at all.

I rather expected the woman to slap the man across the face at the end of the routine - that didn’t happen...not sure if it would be legal or not...but it would have been a refreshing switch from the usual fare.
