I really don't think this thread is about that. Its more about gay men in a locker room with other men. I personally can see how another male might not like sharing a bathroom and showers with a gay male. If its right or wrong I can understand. Not sure why that is so hard for other people to see. Its one thing to allow gays a normal life style but when your asking other men to share personal space you then need to also take their feeling into consideration. What the player said was not that bad but how he said it was not very good.

I think it's a bigger issue than a guy not wanting to shower or be nude near a gay guy. Some people still cannot accept homosexuality, period.

For me it is no bigger issue then that. I accept homosexuality.


For you it doesn't bother you that is fine but at some point you have a line in the sand too where it will bother you. Would you share a bed with a gay man? A tent? Kiss him on the cheeck good bye? ETC... Everyone has their own tolerances.

Also let me be clear too even though it bothers me to have a gay man in the locker room with me I don't believe he should not be allowed in there just because it bothers me. It was my choice to use a public locker room.

There will always be people who do not accept homosexuality but that in its self does not make them a bad person. You can, not accept what a person does and still not hate them because of that. Seems anytime someone does not accept homosexuality for one reason or the other they get bash for what they believe.

People generally don't react well to ignorance or stupidity. Go figure.

So if someone does not believe in homosexuality or support it they are ignorant or stupid?

Sometimes it's better to just keep things to yourself.

He's perfectly entitled to say what he feels, but to think he doesn't have to deal with any blowback is ridiculous.

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