And being gay is feminine. It's hard for a man to come out around a bunch of manly males.


This, all of this.

Anything that's a first is a big deal. Remember when Tony Dungy becamse the first black man to be a head coach to win a Super Bowl? It's really about someone leading the way for other minorities that follow. I do believe that it will not be a big deal once more athletes come out as openly gay, and we will hear less of a story about this sort of thing moving forward.

It's a big deal because so many ignorant dumbasses will be upset about it. And he's the first to do it. Black baseball players in MLB was a big story when it first happened, and the same morons outraged by that would've been outraged by Sam.
As I've said many times, gay is the new black.

That;s fricking ridiculous. Gay people, openly gay people function in our society very well and in many circles are celebrated.

It's a big deal because two political ideologies make it a big deal. If one would shut the frick up, the other would too.

Then, maybe gay people will get the treatment they way, to be treated normal in society.

It's not, but it's sensationalism, which is what entertainment is about.

Hey black guy, did you know that you being black is on a par with some guy liking cocksucking?
