gay and lesbian athletes will have a place to go to relax and watch events, and meet friends.

The world was a much better place back when.....

.....these people were ashamed of their perversion and in the closet.

I never cared if they did what they wanted and kept me out of it. Open militant homosexuality makes my stomach turn and turns me against them.

“I wonder if ALL gay/lesbian whatever athletes from all countries will go in there.”

Yup! They wouldn’t want to blow their cover!

We actually have a “rainbow” graduation at my school. All I can say to the participants is, what is it about liking to take a stick in your @ss that makes you unable to graduate alongside your straight classmates?

Homofascists are perpetually attention-hungry drama queens. It’s hard to get attention when one is held to the same standards as everyone else. So gays rely on their sexual “identity” (as if sexuality can be the sum of one’s identity), and on a dreadful persecution complex, to make them feel different and special.

How “safe” is it to be exposed to HIV?

I believe that all athletes have to have a full physical.

“gay and lesbian athletes will have a place to go”
What about the transgendered athletes?
They're being discriminated against.
Where’s the outrage??

Completely disgusting! Why do THEY need special treatment. Who will save and shield me from gay people. They are shoved in my attention 24/7, a teeny tiny portion of society is shoved in my face 24/7. I don’t make it a point to make sure everyone who sees me with their own eyes knows that “I am hetrosexual”. Gay will never be okay with me - got that, now understand it.

What a bunch of BS. This ‘ safe place ‘ is simply an area where homosexuals can hook up and have sex.

If the sodomites want some truly special treatment, let's move the Winter Games to Tehran. Problem solved.

“Whistler House”? Is that where they can hum on a flute without being interrupted?

Sure, I was getting tired of all the stories of gay carnage at the Olympics.

They want to be accepted, they want to be treated like everyone else, they don’t want to be discriminated against, etc. etc. Then they turn around and set themselves apart from everyone else? Makes about as much sense to me as the NAACP... You want your group/demographic to be treated like everyone else? (for any defining characteristic you care to name) then quit setting yourselves apart!

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

And now, heterosexual athletes will have Pride House.

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

On Friday, a group called HeteroBump 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 heterosexual 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 hetero 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.

Just another reason I won’t be watching the olympics. With the politics, the cheating (with only certain countries bearing the brunt of the rules, others getting a free pass), the Olympics don’t mean what they once did. I won’t boost ratings for the sorry network that carries it.

Pride House..singular?....Why stop there?
They are painting homosexuals with a very broad brush. With a little imagination I can find cause to need 6-8 different houses to satisfy more of them (male-male, fem-fem, trannys, crossdressers and all the other perversions in between.
