Gay athletes to get Whistler 'safe space'

Canadian athletes at the 2010 Winter Games will have Canada House. Russians will have Russia House. The Dutch, Holland House.

And now, gay and lesbian athletes will have Pride House.

For the first time in Olympic history, gay and lesbian athletes will have a place to go to relax and watch events, and meet friends.

On Friday, a group called GayWhistler announced it will set up a special club house in partnership with the Pan Pacific Whistler Village hotel.

The free facility will be open to homosexual athletes, their families, friends and fans. It will offer a lounge, television screens and meeting areas.

"It is really important to have a safe space for out athletes, coaches, fans and allies to come and hang out, share their stories, trade pins and have fun," said Dean Nelson, one of the organizers.

I thought the Winter Olympics were already pretty good for homos. Think of men's figure skating. And luge. Especially luge.

... Pride House.

Keep saying it, and soon you might even begin to believe it.

How "safe" is it to be exposed to HIV?

Whoa....the foot position there reminds me of the old punchline: “It would have been even better if you’d have given me time to take off my pantyhose....”

I guess segregation by sexual orientation is okay, then?

Interesting point. I’ve heard that one of the dirty secrets of the Olympics is that the atmosphere in the Olympic Village is like a bar or nightclub. For years the Olympic organizers have handed out condoms for the athletes there.

Pride house? What do they have to be proud of?

Yes that’s right. Segregation for homosexuals is now considered ok. ‘

In this politically correct world, I think this segregation is ok because the gay/lesbian/trans-whatever athletes requested it and are organizing it. If segregation were imposed on them from others, then that would be considered bad. But if they “self-segregate” like this, then that’s a sign of homosexual pride.

I always wonder what’s with their co-opting the word “Pride”. Are they uniquely proud of themselves?

I wonder if ALL gay/lesbian whatever athletes from all countries will go in there. There are some countries in the world where homosexuality is not celebrated the way we and Canada celebrate the diversity. They may not want to be “outed” and have that news get back to their “intolerant” homelands.

The constant, insistent use of the word “pride” indicates they’re trying mightily to counter the internal knowledge that they really don’t have any.

This is good, if they were around “Breeders” some may get pregnant, and go on to have children.
If this is genetic then segregation should wipe out the gene.

What I will never understand about these groups that want to be treated equally is why they always seperate themselves?

Pay attention to the language Homofascists use to make their opponents sound like nasty, violent, evil people.

A place where nobody disagrees with a gay person’s opinions = “safe”
People who support the gay political agenda = “allies” (What is this? A war? So if I disagree with a homosexual person’s political views, I am automatically his or her mortal enemy? I thought liberals frowned upon black-and-white thinking.)
Disagreeing with the homosexual agenda = “hate”

At first gays wanted to be integrated into every part of society, now they want to be segregated? I wish they’d make up their minds.
