Professional Sport Now Has Gay Athlete..Whoopie
I have left this alone because I really did not care. I don’t beleive in homosexuality as a lifestyle nor do I think it is good for a community, any community. That being said, I don’t agree with alot of things that other people do, but this is a free country and whatever happens in their life is up to them, as long as they don’t shove their lifestyle in your face.
I am a sports fan and have been listening to sports radio fawning all over Jason Collins decision to come out. The buzz words they keep saying is “society has evolved” to a point where we, as a country, now accept gays. Ok I’ll play along, now tell me how society evolved? Is it because Hollywood has embraced being gay, or liberals love gay people? Or is it because our children have been taught in school to be tolerant of sexual preference? So how did we get here? I would assume all of the above.
I personaly find homosexuality to be perverse. The flamboyant queer nation bears this out, just google image San Francisco gay parade, be warned it is not a pretty site. Now can you see your son or grandson involved in that activity? I am not gonna bible thump here I just think this is not normal behavior, and as we continue to accept it we skew what normal is. Do you want gay couple Bob and Ted coaching your sons little league team? Do you really want Bob and Ted taking your sons camping as Boy Scout leaders? Do you want Bob and Ted in your sons jr. high or high school locker room? I am not trying to be blind to the fact there is a large percentage of gay people in the country, probably more than I would like to admit, what worries me is that once this lifetsyle is completely accepted and gay marriage is the law of the land the moral fiber of this country is being chipped away from another angle.
America is having a hard enough time trying to keep people married. Fifty percent of marriage now ends in divorce, our “old normal” of Mom and Dad married for 50 years is becoming a lost concept.
Now, Dad pays child support to keep Mom and her new boyfriend in your old home. Mom and Dad both work full time and we are forced to have our children raised by our educators. That is a scary notion in and of itself. In a perfect world Mom and Dad taught morals, led by example, and ruled with a firm hand. Tough love was a teaching lesson, not abuse. The old days are slipping away and I will most assuredly miss them.
The new normal for kids….survival.
Kids in America understand joint custody, drugs, booze, internet porn, college loans, green is good, polar bears are in trouble, and of course being gay is OK.
And that is sad.

I get that he is an NBA player, but surely Billie Jean King, Brian Boitano and Greg Louganis are balking at the claim that Collins is the first “professional” athlete to come out.
And I agree with everything you said. My college student daughter is currently housed in a tiny dorm room with an openly gay person who is militant in demanding not tolerance, but some weird sort of esteem, as if everyone must applaud her life choice and provide daily affirmation that she is the bravest, most wonderful lesbian ever.
My Boy Scout son can’t share a tent with me (his own mother) on a camp-out, but this time next month could be expected to share a tent with a homosexual boy or man.
Without launching into a tirade about my morals and values, I would simply say that there was a time when people considered the feelings of others. I have no desire to force my sexuality, politics, or personal beliefs on others, and I have no patience for those that think I should have to agree with theirs.
Well said Harper, unfortunately they won’t be a quiet minority. And the effects of the gay “culture” is what worries me most. It wasn’t that long ago pot was illegal and considered a gateway drug, now, not so much, and we quietly accept it. The same thing will happen with the LGTB bunch, give an inch and they want 10. Pun intended.
