Not gay enough for softball team?

SEATTLE - Three bisexual men have filed a federal lawsuit against a national gay-sports organization, claiming they were unfairly deemed not gay enough to play for a gay softball team during the Gay Softball World Series.

Steven Apilado, LaRon Charles and Jon Russ contend the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance discriminated against them during the Gay Softball World Series held in Seattle in August 2008.

The lawsuit, first reported by The Seattle Times and the Seattle Weekly, was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court. It accuses the alliance of violating Washington state laws barring discrimination.

According to the lawsuit, the three California men were on a softball team called D2 that advanced to the championship game in Seattle. During the game, play was stopped several times after the team that lost to them in the semifinals protested that D2 was in violation of a league rule permitting no more than "two heterosexual players" on a team.

Following the championship game, which D2 lost, Apilado, Charles and Russ were each separately called into a conference room in front of more than 25 people for a "hearing" by the Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance to determine whether each was "heterosexual" or "gay," the lawsuit says.

The men say they were forced to answer "highly personal and intrusive questions" about their sexual interests and private life, including whether they were "predominantly attracted to men" or "predominantly attracted to women."

At one point during the proceedings, the lawsuit alleges, one of the plaintiffs was told: "This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series."

Any private individual or group can discriminate against whoever they want whenever they want for whatever reason they want, period.

I absolutely agree with you. The funny part is, the homos have been suing trying to force churches, the boy scouts, etc to "let them in". It's funny now that they are being sued for not being as open to others as they want others to be open to them.

How do you “prove” you are gay? Is there a test?

Yes, have them play catcher, if “stuff” starts falling out they pass the test

[Slings and Arrows]

They weren't rejected for being bi - they were rejected because the team already had too many pitchers and catchers.

[TheOldLady]

Gee Slings, how many people are going to get that joke?

And don’t the homosexual activists have fun excluding not only heterosexuals, but also homosexuals who aren’t pure enough!

As usual, the oppressed become the oppressors.

Three bisexual men

As Andrew Dice Clay put it, "You either s... d..., or you do not s... d..., there is no in-between."

There is already an all-gay team in MLB. They even won the world series last year.

[Clemenza]

There were some black guys on the team, but I understand that they are on the DL.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Shoot - thought it was genetic.......

[DBeers]

Ohhhh.... The humanity!!!!

LMAO!!!!

How do you prove you are something that does not exist but in the minds of leftists?

[Albion Wilde]

Get the popcorn ready, honey!

[Albion Wilde]

As to these 3 litigants: What do they propose? Tryouts?

ROFLOL!! Who's going to pitch and who's going to catch?

[Albion Wilde]

No headline will ever beat “Police: Crack Found in Man’s Buttocks”

I once saw a tabloid in the grocery line that said "Woman Gives Birth to Twins on Roller Coaster"

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

I, too, am not gay enough for softball.

[N. Theknow]

Gives switch hitter a whole new meaning!

Do they smoke at the end of an in-ing?
