If Dungy's son is gay

Well all I'm asking for is AIH to provide some type of evidence that he was gay. Obviously it would be tough to prove and even tougher to prove that is why he killed himself, but I'd like to see where he heard this theory. I've never heard this anywhere else except from alejandro.

If Dungy's son is gay then his theory pretty much makes sense.
There is no situation in which it makes sense, nor is it ever proper, tasteful, appropriate, or acceptable to constantly mock a guy and his religious beliefs for his son committing suicide.

If a guy is willing to throw around his religious beliefs any chance he gets, then he should be aware that some may mock it.

You can mock his religious beliefs all you want. Mocking a guy for that kind of tragedy just b/c you hate him for his religious beliefs is pretty despicable.

A kid killing himself because he doesn't feel accepted by his gay hating father? Yeah, that's unprecedented.

Considering AIH is the only person I've seen who has accepted this theory as fact, I'm going to bet it isnt true.

If you look on the interwebz there's all kind of speculation that his son was gay. It's not like if he was gay it would have been on the front of People or anything.

Where has he ever said he "hates gays?". Just curious. Can you link this?

Believing that homosexuality is a sin =/= "hating gays." And honestly, we all know that the "theory" about why the kid killed himself is made up specifically so AIH could have a chance to mock the man in a tasteless and hateful way. He has nothing to back that up. If he happened to be gay, that's still a tremendous leap to take and would only be done by someone who is irresponsible and has an agenda.

raising money for an anti-gay foundation is a little bit more extreme than just disagreeing with their beliefs.

Tony Dungy was donating and making appearances for anti-gay marriage groups, that's a shite ton different from just saying that he doesn't approve of it.

Chances are that the kid had a real tough time knowing he could be cast out by his father if he came out and never told him.

Dungy spoke at this event and made it clear that he agrees, both politically and religiously, with the Indiana Family Institute, an organization with a very aggressive stance against gay people in America. They seek the federal government to ratify a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage. Last I checked, gay marriage was a service that is not allowed in most states anyway. When they talked about it during the 2004 election, it didn't make much sense to me. It's not allowed anyway. Why a Constitutional ban?

Again. Believing that the government shouldn't sanction gay marriage =/= "hating gays"

It means you have a strong dislike for them. Going out of your way to speak against homosexuals and promote a ban on their marriage shows me that he doesn't really like them.

Ok, he obviously wasnt the only one. I havent seen any legitimate source that says that though. If you guys see one let me know. I actually googled before I said that and saw nothing that was a legitimate source.

I'm not saying he was gay, I'm saying Tony Dungy obviously doesn't like gay people very much and it's plausible.
