Hunter is a four-time All-Star and has played in the majors since 1997. He was considered a clubhouse leader with the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels, and he told the Los Angeles Times that having a gay teammate would be difficult and uncomfortable.
For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, its not right, Hunter told the Times. It will be difficult and uncomfortable.
Kevin Baxter, who wrote a lengthy piece for the Times on gays in sports, described Hunter as saying that a gay teammate could divide a team.
Its a disappointing view from someone who seems to be so great at uniting his teammates. One would think that players would accept a teammate no matter what if the player helped them win games. Perhaps Hunter would change his mind if he learned that one of his past teammates was gay, or if a prominent player came out.

I’ve been a Mets fan for over 40 years. My son gave me a #5 Jersey for Christmas. I was unaware of the behavior in the accusation, in the post. Respectfully, would you kindly offer some substantiation? Thank you.
Having a homo in the locker room would be disconcerting for any normal person. Not just Christians.
