re: #138 Lidane

Right? Michael Sam managed to be the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in college while surrounded by a bunch of other guys in the locker room that all knew he was gay. They didn’t care and he wasn’t distracted.

The ONLY reason Michael Sam went so late in the draft was because of all the herpty derp over being gay. But if he’d kept his mouth shut, gotten drafted, then gotten outed later, all the derp would’ve been a billion times worse.

Exactly. I mean it’s stupid. The “concern” is oh what about the locker room. His college teammate knew he was gay. I believe he was a team captain too. There really is a lot of insecurity about openly gay people by the religious right and I think it’s rooted in the fact that openly gay people are comfortable with who they are where as these nutters like Wildmon are not.
