Being gay is like being colour-blind - seeing red instead of green. It alters your whole perception and can be restricting when others don't acknowledge this.

Restricting when you cannot acknowledge it yourself!!!

Doesn't the fact that the few gay people posting in this thread are all saying that her coming out makes a difference to them just prove the importance of her coming out? It's that simple to me.

Thats great, really it is. But why does every gay person in the limelight have to be a damn advocate? If thats the case, I should let out a press release saying I'm not of hispanic descent.


Okay-- she is attracted to women exclusively, like millions of other women before and after her.

Personally, I think its for publicity. I havent heard a peep out this bitch in years; all of a sudden she's on the scene because she's gay.



Who gives shrug



stupidedit.
[Edited 10/26/05 14:50pm]



No disrespect but it is important to come out and shout it for the rooftops, especially people that are successful. Why you ask, because in this day and age 1/3 of all suicides are gay kids.

Like thats a surprise!!!! As u say she chose to be gay not born that way. Just like me, I choose to have sex with young guys younger than me (28) cause i want too. I can do it with girls too but i choose to do it that way not born. I am sick of hearing that i am born that way mess. When i was 15-20 all girls, the non e night wit ha boy that was it for me. Both get stuck by me. MY CHOICE!!!!

I respect u now Swoopes but the WNBA still sux!!!!




If you choose who you sleep with you are Bi-sexual. I can choose to have sex with a woman, but it wouldn't work because spiritually and sexually I'm attracted to men.

so if I said, I don't care who she's being, would that be better?


I just think that she is known for being a great athlete and that's all i'm interested in. .


shrug


Her coming out has to do with her entire life not just how she plays a game. It's only getting this kind of attention because she's famous. Now when I came out, you don't think it was like having a press convference in my house? My whole family was a buzz and the only reason America didn't know my "business" is because I'm not famous.

So really, she's just being honest about hef life and the fact that she's a sports figure is secondary.



this is definitely a learning thing with me. I think because I've always been around VERY out gays and lesbians.

ok..i'm sorry again for being insensitive....again.

I've definitely gained some knowledge on "coming out".

But i still think its a publicity stunt, based on the timing of it all.

It's true that people do some dumb things as publicity stunts, but I don't think coming out is one of them. I don't know what she would have to gain by disclosing her sexual orientation. Dennis Rodman wearing a wedding dress, make up and heels...dumb. A woman risking public scorn, career backlash and humiliation by coming out as a lesbian...not so much. She speaks some truth in that short article, particularly about the double standard about sexuality that exists in sports:

"There are as many straight women in the league as there are gay. What really irritates me is when people talk about football, baseball and the NBA, you don't hear all of this talk about the gay guys playing. But when you talk about the WNBA, then it becomes an issue.

That much is very true. People assume that men in professional sports are straight, and they expect that women are lesbians. In a lot of people's minds, a heterosexual woman in sports is an exception to the rule.

Its definitely both.

All this is interesting to me because one of my daughters friends and follow team mates just came out to her team a few weeks ago. My daughter said when the girl came out everyone just looked at her, said "ok, that's cool and now can we go play some ball." smile

You don't think that as Bisexual that you have a choice of who you sleep with? I know that you don't have a choice in who you fall in love with but you are attracted to both sexes, right?

Saintstation gave me the impression that he like both men and women because of his comment.

And I'm only speaking for myself when I say I was born gay. I wasn't molested, I've had crushes on the same sex since I can remember.(5 yrs old I think.)

why do you guys think it sucks?


just curious. My daughter plays basketball and watches the WNBA just to see women play at a professional level.

I enjoy women's basketball sometimes more than men's. Lots less ego. I think a lot of people wanna see dunking, and it just ain't gonna happen in the WNBA! lol

Yeah....we wanna see the Shaq Attack! lol


tease

Lisa Leslie dunks....but that's only every blue moon.

As far as the actual game, the WNBA seem to go by the fundamentals of basketball more than the NBA and that's good and all, but I like a little excitement....you know the flashy moves, passes, dunks, trash talking along with the fundamentals. I think it's sad though that those women don't make nearly as much as the men and they play their asses just as hard if not harder. Professional male athletes are really overpaid,imo.

We have the same kinds of choice anyone else does -to act on our attractions or not to. Bisexuals just happen to have a wider field of choice than straights and gays. wink

For the past 6 months I've been with a guy, but in the future -who knows? What matters is their heart and mind, and a person's sex doesn't make any difference to me until I've got their clothes off.
