The Gay Thread

I think it's more that women's sports don't get the attention that men's sports do, so fewer people cared that some of them were gay. It's also the idea that male athletes are the macho-est of the macho, and that is somehow perceived by the masses as incompatible with being gay. Of course, both of those assumptions are stupid, but you know. Women don't have quite the same problems with the macho nonsense.

I think other than the initial sensationalism, nobody will care who's gay so long as they play well. And that is how it should be.
