Making A Statement In the Pool Jay Fisette's Return to the Gay Games...
Washington Post ^ | Sunday, July 30, 2006 | Leef Smith

In 1980, Jay Fisette was 24 years old, living in San Francisco and ready to tell his parents that he was gay. It was an anxious moment.

"I want to explain to you why I came to live here," he recalled telling his mother.

She interrupted, her tone full of disappointment.

"I know why. You went there to play water polo."

As it turned out, his mother wasn't entirely wrong.

Re: "I didn't choose to be gay. I chose to accept it. If you don't have a choice, it's as natural as being heterosexual is to a straight person. How can a judgment be placed on that?"

Unreal

Re your picture:

As you can plainly see, homosexuality is not a mental disorder at all. It's natural, normal, and healthy and should be taught to every child K12 in every subject in every school in the U.S.

That is the NEA New B plan now implemented in schools across America. This is exactly what David Parker and the Article 8 Alliance in MA is fighting to prevent. Won't it be wonderful when the bull homo in the leather jock strap comes to your taxpayer funded school and talks to your little boy?

Why doesn't someone organize a Christian games, or a conservative games, or a free enterprise games where only non-socialists can participate? Conceptually, the idea of confronting the culture in this way is quite clever (sickos often have very effective tactics).

Fisette, who turned 50 this year, walked away with four medals, including a gold in the 50-meter backstroke.

Somehow I have a feeling this mother already knew the kid was a peter-puffer.

To tell you the truth, I'm sick of "poignant" stories about queers

I don't give a healthy one about Jay! (just more proof of my monumental insensitivity)
