Bradley Kim, a defensive back at the Air Force Academy, announced on Friday that he is gay. Kim, who shared his story on his Instagram account and through an interview with OutSports, is the first active player at a service academy to publicly come out.

"The biggest reason I want to share this is to be able to reach people who are in similar situations struggling with the same things I have struggled with," Kim told OutSports. "I want to be that example for kids that you can be gay, you can pursue your dreams, and you can have an athletic career.

"My dreams got me to a D1 football program. I want to be there for people who don't feel like they have anyone there for them, because I was that kid growing up in high school."

Before going public with his story, Kim, a safety for the Falcons, informed his fellow defensive backs and received a standing ovation in response.

It doesn’t as though he’s all that defensive.

“Before going public with his story, Kim, a safety for the Falcons, informed his fellow defensive backs and received a standing ovation in response.”

Wow football players, the military academies and even the military has changed dramatically from as recent as 10 years ago.

The Air Force is definitely the most progressive and liberal branch. It has been for years now.

It’s a newly created defensive position called Broke-Back.

This admission automatically makes him a “wide receiver” and dare I think it: “tight end”.

Now excuse me while I go throw up.

Telling everyone you have sex with anyone is tasteless. Telling people you enjoy buggery is disgusting. Telling everyone you enjoy buggery with males is blasphemy, You are a pervert and should keep it to yourself. You can't make it a beautiful thing between 2 people or normalize an unhealthy sexual practice. Being gay may not be a choice, but being celibate is. What happens in PRVACY between consenting ADULTS is none of my business. Make your perversion public and you have just created your own problems.

His parents must be so proud. /s

Another bloodline intact since the dawn of human history extinguished, because the brain controlling the sperm misallocated it — instead of uniting the sperm with a woman’s eggs as G-d intended, the misguided brain decided to deposit its genetic essence into another man’s anus.

“...informed his fellow defensive backs and received a standing ovation..~”

The answer to the mystery of “How come homosexuals always get their way, yet they’re only one percent of the population?”

“...received a standing ovation...”

In a few years he will acquire AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, oral cancer or commit suicide.

It’s a heck of a life style to give a standing ovation to.

Austrlia has been infected too:

30 Jul: news.com.au: It was a money shot for the 100 Days For Change campaigners, but a navy officer with his pinky painted pink has copped backlash
THE Australian navy posted a video of a male naval officer with a painted pinky fingernail. And it hasn’t gone down well.
by Shireen Khalil
AN AUSTRALIAN navy officer has painted his pinky finger nail in hot pink in support of the 100 Days For Change, a campaign to promote a nationwide push among companies for gender equity in the workplace
When the Australian navy posted photos of the unlikely bearded poster boy across social media, it didn’t go down well with the navy pilloried for being focused on a “politically correct” campaign rather than focusing on the defence of the realm, The Australian reported.

Clearly angered, former Labor leader Mark Latham posted on his Outsiders Facebook page yelling: “THIS WILL SCARE THE ENEMY …”

Mr Latham told The Australian the 100 Days For Change campaign was another doomed “PC project”. “These guys are fighting for their country … why engage in pathetic virtue signalling?” he said...
