re: LSU Athletes on Gay Teammates - Alfred Blue Says All The Wrong Things

I disagree. I responded to the poster that was claiming it was ignorant to suggest that being "gay" (whatever that means) is not a choice. He belittled people and challenged them to "choose to be gay" whatever that means. When I bring up an obvious example, your response is that it shouldn't be considered b/c of extenuating circumstances. Another person misrepresented my position to marginalize it. Both are common tactics.

Any act is a choice. Saying something or someone is "gay" does not help further define what you mean because the term is made up. Does the modern usage of "gay" include someone who experiences only same sex attraction in all circumstances? Does it include someone who experiences those feelings and tendencies but he chooses not to act on them? Does it connote a life-style choice that includes cruising, and unregulated sex with multiple partners? Depending on what "gay" means, I may or may not be able to embrace it.

However, the current PC movement which attempts to force compliance with a broad and vague "tolerance" or "acceptance" without first defining the term is dishonest and offensive. It is much more dishonest and offensive than the boorish comments of Alfed Blue.
