That's obviously wishful thinking on your part.

Shoot, in football one guy (the QB) sticks his hands on the underparts of another dude (the C) awaiting the snap of the ball.

So your going to have a parade sometime in 2014?

Now I know what inspired the Dallas Shotgun, Staubach was gay and the center said he aint putting his hands down there!

Hahaha

Multitalented athletes that spontaneously break out into choreographed song and dance? Sure I'd be comfortable with then representing our city! Why not?

You and I basically agree on this with a subtle difference. I tend to think nature should rule. And I think homosexuality is essentially an unnatural thing. But why should I or anyone care? I don't think less of people who don't eat meat although I believe humans are meant to eat balanced meals including meat. And I don't think less of homosexuals. I think less of people who do something to actually harm society...like bigots who try and stop people from being who they want to be.

As a straight guy if I was in a locker room and a gay guy caught a shot of my ween, why the F would I care if I'm totally secure with myself and have zero interest in that? Homophobes I'm tellin' ya.

Yeah I agree.

Curious observation...it doesn't strike anyone as odd that we segregate men's and woman's locker rooms though. The fact that women don't want men ogling them in their locker room is considered totally normal. Not sure how to rationalize that.

Right...would these same people care if some hot chick was in the locker room checking him out?

[Alvin Walton]

So if there were lesbians in the locker room would they just get bored and leave?

I don't care either way. But gay players will have to expect some discrimination.

I feel it's no one else place to tell anyone how to live their lives. People can be who they want to be and no one, I mean no one, has a right to tell them they can't. Those who are against homosexuality can disapprove of that lifestyle all they want, but it's senseless and pointless to disapprove because at the end of the day they really are powerless to change it. If someone is gay, lesbian, transgender, likes transsexuals or whatever, why get upset about it? You have to live your own life and they have to live their own life. As human beings, we have to learn to respect people.

Here's the way I see it. The locker room is not a place for PC, and us testosterone filled guys together tend to not be the most sensitive collection of people. So, if a gay guy is OK with dealing with that fact, then I see no problem. Once I think he starts complaining about it, I think it upsets the locker room.
