Michael Irvin champions equality
ESPN Dallas ^ | July 12, 2011

Former Dallas Cowboys great Michael Irvin appears shirtless on the cover of this month's gay men's magazine Out and discusses his passion for equality issues.

Irvin publicly acknowledges that the impetus for taking a stand comes from his relationship with his gay brother, Vaughn, who died of stomach cancer in 2006. Irvin had not spoken publicly about his brother previously, according to the magazine.

I guess Irvin doesn't want to know the Giants' David Tyree.

"I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life," he said, according to the magazine. "No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality."

I never liked Michael Irvin or the rest of those (Dallas) Cowboys.

“No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. “

Especially your wife, right Michael.

Some of us still have memories of the real Cowboys when Tom Landry and Roger Staubach were there.

Decades ago I was a large supporter of homos, because we all deserve the right to do whatever the hell we want to do in the privacy of our own homes. But it’s not about that any more. Homos have become the most disgusting bunch of lousy creepy Marxists I’ve ever seen. And they use the same old tactics that Marxists have always used, perverting the language with think-speak, and attacking decency. I didn’t see it coming way back when, but I’ll sure as hell speak my mind today.

Sadly enough, I’m one of the few people I know who DOES NOT suffer from homophobia. Most people I know are afraid of faggots. They’re scared to death that they’ll let slip the wrong word at the wrong time, and the pink mafia will come down on them and they’ll lose their jobs, or worse.

Creepy basta***!

Fond memories of Texas Stadium in the 70’s - Section 6, Row 40, forgot our seat numbers.

You’re brother is running around in woman’s clothing and it never occurs to you that he needs some serious help?
