(AgapePress) - A former homosexual says the recent announcement by WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes that she has chosen to live as a lesbian will bring wrath from homosexual activists.
Recently the Houston Comets forward told ESPN The Magazine that she wanted to be honest and open up about being a lesbian. However, Swoopes said she was not born a lesbian, and did not get divorced in 1999 because of sexual orientation.
"Do you think I was born this way? No," she told Associated Press. "And that's probably confusing to some, because I know a lot of people believe that you are."
Swoopes' "coming out" may cause more than just confusion, according to Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual who runs a ministry that helps those who want to leave the homosexual lifestyle. He says homosexual activists will blast the basketball player.
"With her using that word that she has chosen the lifestyle, I'm telling you it's going to be like whacking a hornets' nest," says Bennett. "The bees [sic] are going to come out and just literally try to sting this lady for saying that."
The ministry leader sees some positives coming out of the cager's proclamation. "The truth is starting to come out," he says, "and I think the more that we get people who are really open and honest about this, the straight talk about homosexuality is going to come through."
Bennett and his wife are about to launch a daily radio talk-show dealing with the issue of the homosexual agenda. "Believe me," he says, "we'll be dealing with all stories like this." The name of the program is "Straight Talk Radio."
Swoopes, 34, has an 8-year-old son. The five-time All-Star was honored in September as the WNBA's Most Valuable Player for the third time in her professional career.

If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.
I always tell my Wife that certain girls in sports tend to look on the "Butchy" side and she always say No Way. Anybody who thinks there's not a Homosexual agenda is fooling themselves.
The gay community hates bi-sexuals for the same reason.
I believe the real agenda is to convince people that gays are subject to horrible persecution in this country like they were in Nazi Germany. It's all crap. Most people, frankly, don't care.

I was at one time pretty good frieds with 3 gay guys. I lived right next door and ended up buying the house they were in. 2 of the guys were your typical couple. One real feminine and one like a regular guy. The other was a flaming crossdresser homosexual. I just out and asked them all one day if they were born that way or was it a choice. They all three told me to not buy into the I was born that way idea. They said they had been around the gay life style for many years all the way from San Francisco to NY City and they knew no one who was born that way.. They all three said it was their choice and a choice they liked.
