Phoenix Suns president and CEO Rick Welts, in an effort to breach what he sees as the tiptoed-around topic of homosexuality in men's team sports, recently met with friends, associates and a newspaper reporter to reveal he is gay.

Welts, believed to be the first man in a prominent position in men's sports who has declared his homosexuality, says he wants to now mentor other gay people who seek to pursue a career in sports, according to The New York Times.

This is a blanket annoyance about all minorities: why do they always need to segregate into their little groups? Who will be left, when everything always has to be divided into skin color, nationality, who you want to sleep with, etc. it’s getting ridiculous.

Can a black man mentor a white kid? Can a gay man mentor a straight kid? Do we need separate islands for everyone?

In other news, Ricky Martin says he’s back to pretending to be straight.

Rick, Dick and Obama are doing layups! Huzzah!

There's the Hoop!

[Jeff Chandler]

They should keep it to themselves and not try to cram it dow . . .

Never mind.

I am sorry if I was callous.

I do feel your sorrow.

I am celebrating DIEversity:

[hinckley buzzard]

Homosexuality is a sexualized variant of narcissistic personality disorder. The individual seeks to validate self-acceptance reflected in the acceptance of others. It is a straightforward condition once one ignores political distortions.

I guess the net isn’t the only thing that goes “swish”.

He's an activist? I knew he was gay, didn't know he was an activist. As I said on another post, this "gay rights" myth not only brings them out of the closet but emboldens them towards an agenda that includes long term goals (hidden now - but just wait) of stopping normal marriage and banning the Bible.

Virulent. The battle rage NOW to prevent that stuff later. People don't believe it so they let it keep going until their children are forced to know, understand, and eventually participate in this perversion. By then it's probably too late. Society's literally gone to the same hell as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sick. No wonder this ass clown supported illegals. So next year, there will “leather chaps night” or “gay night”.

PUKE!

[Jim W N]

Well it's sad. I care about him but was never very close to him. I pray God will reach down and save him.

But I'll fight the "gay rights" myth and the gay agenda reality every perverted step of the way.

[Graneros]

Well I guess it’s time I let everyone know where I stand. After all it seems that telling the the world about your sexuality is the thing to do. So here goes. I’m heterosexual. There I’ve said it. I feel so much better. I just told my wife of 33 years and she said “well no shit.”

[mylife]

Well, now that he is successful, activism follows.

You seem to have a good grasp of what’s happening even if you feel helpless to change it.

You are steadfast to fight against family and money.
And I do understand how we turn a blind eye when we care about family, at the peril of our children.

[NewCenturions]

"Why do homosexuals have the need to tell the world their sexual escapades..."

AMEN!!!

He'll mentor the slam dunk with no double dribbling.

[mylife]

I am sorry for your troubles Jim.

We all have a black sheep in the family that demands attention.

[Vision]

Well last year they wore uni’s that said “Los Suns” (or whatever) to support the illegal immigrants.

That was the first sign that something queer was happening.

[Persevero]

“e, etc). The “gay agenda” includes long-term goals of mocking and doing away with regular marriage. “

Also the acceptance and promotion of all manner of perversions, like polygamy, polyamory, pederasty, fornication, adultery, etc.

[SeaHawkFan]

Bet he had a domineering mother/mother figure in his life.

[Mike Darancette]

Do heterosexuals run around shouting “I’m straight - look at me”?

I used to but it never helped :)
