More acceptance for gay players

[white is right]

This is what I have a problem with. Its not the cause itself that bothers me, its the fact that they think that anyone who has an opposing viewpoint by labeling those who believe in only traditional marriage as a "bigot" that pisses me off. As someone who believes in the Bible, it openly says that homosexuality is wrong. Why do Christians need to change their beliefs just to appease some 1% minority? These groups like the "It Gets Better Project" need to realize that you can't reinvent the wheel so to speak and no amount of indoctrination will ever make people change their views. Its not just Christians either. Most cultures are vehemently against homosexuality. Us Christians are probably the most tolerant people in the world towards them, yet they attack us more than anyone.

This is about as shocking as knowing that everyday the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.....http://www.cbssports.com/collegebas...2097639/baylor-star-brittney-griner-comes-out

I could see the media circus if this free agent lands a training camp spot....http://nfl.si.com/2013/04/23/alan-gendreau-trying-to-make-nfl-as-openly-gay-kicker/ And in other news Kerry Rhodes will have little credibility with the brothers after this photo came out......:jaw:http://www.opposingviews.com/i/cele...s-not-gay-while-assistant-leaks-text-messages I guess his locker room name could be 3 Dollar Bill....

Pro-homosexual punter Chris Luwe has been let go by the Vikings. According to the linked article from Yahoo it's entirely over his "gay" marriage support.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--c...e-talk-is-not-tolerable-in-nfl-204848762.html

I don't know enough about Kluwe to have an educated opinion about this but let's just say my spider senses are tingling - this feels like MSM propaganda. One of the commenters below the article called Zach writes:

This story is laughable, most of Kluwe's stats rank near the bottom of most of the punters, especially placing punts inside the twenty. These stats prompted the Vikings to go out and draft a punter, in a division where field position is paramount with three very good, two of which elite, qbs play. The move also saves them over a million dollars in cap relief, as well as gives them one of the top punters in the draft to come in and maybe become the punter for the next eight years. I'm sorry, but this to me is poor reporting, trying to make a non story into a story based on a popular trending topic that Kluwe is a part of. Eight years is a long time for a punter to stay with one team, he had a great run, it was simply time to move on. Leave the political garbage and social #$%$ off the sports sections please.

The absolute acceptance of homosexuality is the death throws of a nation. Were going down very fast. I feel very sorry for kids that have to grow up in this pig pen of a country.

This Is Pure Bull ****

The word is out. The same thing in the U.S. Military. Keep your mouth shut, don't make waves, and you can continue to collect a paycheck. The "powers at be" have decided to make the "gay way" the "OK way." Don't believe it for a second.
Football and ALL ORGANIZED SPORTS are based on what is called the "military model."
Look it up in any "Sociology 101" book. From the top down there has to be a coherent and unifying principal that the group of people form around and makes them different from the rest of the human race. (for example, the NFL does not take a list of 1,696 players and randomly chose 32 groups of 53 to play each other on Sunday) Think of each group of players as a Society, or a Club, or a Unit, A TEAM ! Once we have this concept, we can move on to the next.
If you have ever experienced being on a high school football team. Or the wonderful pleasure a military "boot camp." Or at the other end of the spectrum, if you have ever been a inmate (wearing a orange jumpsuit) in the County Jail. You my friend, have experienced what is called the "US vs. THEM" mental condition. (It is what makes the world go around)
But within our "us vs. them" group, we are not all equal. We have what is called 'LEADERS.' In the military, they are called Sergeants. In sports we call them Coach.' You experience it every day of your working life. YOU CALL this Person your BOSS.
OK lets jump to the Chase. All these relationships are based on what is called RESPECT.
Now when you are in the "trenches" of life. And you have that "leader" of men, yelling at you to pull that rope, or PUSH for ONE MORE YARD. And you DO IT (you did not think you could)
That is because of that "respect" thing you had for that dude called "leader."
But once you find out that "sergeant" is taking it up the *******. Or your powerful and fearless leader, likes to sleep with young boys. It kind of kills the whole ILLUSION.

I am trying to condense a whole Sociological theory here. But I think you get the idea.

The problem with some elements of our society is that they can't remain neutral about anything. People are not happy with compromise or even disinterested acceptance. They have to have total and complete surrender to their point of view. You can't just "live and let live" you have to totally and completely support the gay agenda. It's a weird form of liberal fascism.

If you were to say to the average gay supporter something like, 'I don't care what other people do in their private lives and would oppose any kind of legal sanctions but I find the idea of it disgusting'. That person would not hear, or care that you were okay with letting them do what they do, the fact that you don't completely support it would still make you a hater and 'homophobe'.

There is pretty solid evidence that identifying as a male or female in contradiction of one's external sex organ is a matter of biochemistry, and therefore not exactly chosen, therefore not the fault of the individual. Our biochemistry is at the root of our personalties.

That said, queers are, well, queer. Like Jaxvid, I more or less say live and let live. I have never set out to harm another person, physically or professionally, because of his or her homosexuality. But don't tell me I can't laugh at or tell queer jokes. Don't tell me homos are perfectly normal.

Ok, Froot Loop, you were "born that way." Fine. You deserve no special recognition because of it. What you deserve is to keep what you earn and not be physically harmed (unless you ask for it). As for understanding and tolerance, it is YOU who must understand that most healthy people find homosexuality distasteful and perhaps threatening. It is YOU who must learn to tolerate what you feel is others' misunderstanding you.
