Bingo! That is the issue. When someone asks me about myself, depending on the audience, I’m an executive, a Christian, a father, a husband, a musician, etc. Never does it cross my mind to lead with I’m a heterosexual. My identity is not my sexuality. Yes, I enjoy a healthy sex life with my wife and it is important to me personally but it is not for public consumption.
The issue is not if someone is gay - I truly and honestly don’t care (just like I don’t care about my straight friends’ sex lives either) - it is why is there the constant need to shove it in others’ faces (sorry for the pun)? If he is a good player I wish him all success but his sexuality should not even be up for discussion.
There is something sad about someone whose number one self-definition is based on what sex parts he or she prefers. Why do I care if this particular football player is gay? Do we really think, among the thousands of men who’ve played pro football, that he’s the first to swap fluids with another man? Certainly not!
One last thought... Gay may not be a choice but flaming gay is. Stop it!
“There is something sad about someone whose number one self-definition is based on what sex parts he or she prefers.”
Excellent!
Just as pathetic are those who demand that we promote these sad sacks, namely the pro-homo heterosexuals.

And at the same time they and the media are constantly shoving it in other peoples faces, they demand that everyone leave them alone,,,that their sexual preferences is private and is no one elses business. I don’t understand that.
