So I can kick the homosexuals off my softball team?

I wonder how they proved their sexual preferences? Did they ask them how many musicals they’ve seen over the last year?

From the comments section:

“Exclusion based on sexual orientation by a gay sports league. This reminds me of the Doonesbury strip where black student protesters at Walden College were demanding so many special rights that they demanded separate water fountains.”

Libs/progressives, of course, will see nothing wrong with a gay sports league excluding people based on sexual orientation.

They wore soap on a rope in the showers.

Good. That is their freedom. No fags in the military.

They were found guilty of being attracted to a person of the opposite sex.

Maybe they looked at a woman for a little too long, or maybe they were caught on a date with a woman. Maybe they were even caught in a sexual relationship with a person of the opposite sex.

Who knows?

Nope. That would be intolerant, exclusionary, homophobic, and probably racist. I wonder if MSNBCs Madcow Maddow will talk about this.

Imagine the lib/gay outrage if a baseball league named an event the “Hetrosexual World Series.”

Looks like somebody’s batting from both sides of the plate! Don’t worry, the Gay Baseball League will get to the bottom of this in no time.

If being gay is no different than being straight, excluding the obvious, why in the world do you need a gay softball league?

You needed a Negro league because, back then, no one wanted to play with the "Negros". But that's gone away.
And no one ever whispered to their teammate, "Hey, Al. I think Jackie's a little ... black."

If they really wanted to win, wouldn’t they get lesbian ringers?
