Well, it would be shocking if there was actually a gay figure skater...lonewolfe said:Do you think any less of him as a skater if he is gay? It should not make any difference at all.
I know you hope in your heart that he is gay, but face it even if he is you dont have a chance. Jest because you want him that does not mean you can.sanjuro said:Enquiring minds want to know...
No joke, he is a beautiful skater and I watched with awe. I don't even like figure skating.
whos ranting?lonewolfe said:I think that this was a dumb thread to begin with. Who cares if the guy is gay or not. That is his business. He is skating for the US Team and we should support him for his abilities as a skater, not his sexual preference. I think that whenever you have somebody ranting about a person being gay it is an indication that this person is not all that secure with their own sexuality and probably has some unresolved sexual issues to face up to.
Why should they point out the fact that someone is gay? They shouldn't be pointing out anyone's preference, gay or straight.sanjuro said:Well, it would be shocking if there was actually a gay figure skater...
Frankly, it is pretty obvious, but what I find interesting is how NBC and the other major outlets seem to skip over that very obvious fact.
I found this article which talked about "straight-washing": http://www.washingtonblade.com/2006/2-10/view/editorial/e1.cfm

CBC called his the US's most controversial athlete. Then the commmentator laughed.I Are Baboon said:I saw that bio on NBC yesterday. That's guy's obvious gayness is reaching Liberace levels.
Probably a johnson by the sounds of things.BurlyShirley said:"People are just afraid of the next revolutionary thing that's going to come out of my mouth"

He said all you red state southern Republicans are scared of him. What are you afraid of, Burly? Hater.BurlyShirley said:Anyway, he's a real jackass if anyone watched his little thing last night. He was all like "People are just afraid of the next revolutionary thing that's going to come out of my mouth"

I dunno. Im not a republican. And Im not a born southerner, but If I were both, he still wouldnt be big enough to rape me, and its not like he's going to impregnate my daughter.I Are Baboon said:He said all you red state southern Republicans are scared of him. What are you afraid of, Burly? Hater.
HAHA. Then you would be ignoring the totally obvious. If you think living in SF I need RM's help to figure out if someone is gay, you probably think Weir is straight.BSEVEER said:Why should they point out the fact that someone is gay?
