When will the first gay active pro athlete come out?

This thread is gay.

 

Hater!

 

I can't believe those gays exercise their own right to free speech and make use of their marketing and economic muscle. And the nerve of them to try to convince other people that the discrimination has gone on long enough!

 

Thread got me wondering, have any there been any major members of the sports media that have come out besides Steve Buckley?

 

What counts as "major"? Who was/is the Las Vegas columnist?

 

I believe Selena Roberts made some sort of statement in the wake of the A-Rod book controversy, though I don't think she was trying to keep anything secret before that.

 

I don't recall Selena Roberts making any statements about her gender. That would have been pretty big news.

Hopefully you have not outed her on SJ.

 

Jared Max came out on the air last week on ESPN radio in New York. Hopefully, he will not be treated by teams the same way the Cincinnati Reds treated Les Nessman.

 

I am not sure if you are trying to make a joke with "gender," but if we are talking only about male media figures, I was not clear on that. Regarding her sexuality, however, I Googled and see that she did indeed discuss it, saying Whitlock was trying to out her with his rant which was curious since she is already out.

 

And the nerve of those who don't think marriage should be between members of one gender to speak against it! Sarcasm for sarcasm...

 

Hey, I don't care about it as long as you allow polygamists to marry. And while you're at it, you might as well eliminate age of consent - not for polygamy - but for anyone. Because 17 can be pushed to 16, then 15, then 14....heck in the Bible, it was at times 12. You want liberty, then by damn, make it universal by getting the government out of the bedroom altogether. On the other hand, if it is about rights such as hospital visits, insurance and wills, then adopt a dependent law that anyone who mutually depends on you for their life gets counted as a dependent. That would allow seniors who share expenses the same rights.

But don't force churches to perform the services, since you liberals want a clear separation of church and state.
