Nature involves a lot of eat or be eaten. Strongest survive. etc., Don't try to tell me it's suppose to be nice. It's not. So, stop trying to elevate it to something it isn't. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Interesting. It must be how gay athletes in most sports feel everyday. |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4178 | Thanks DRich. I have a friend whose daughter was (he thought) going to be good enough to be a WNBA player. He said when looking for colleges, it was well known in the business which schools were ‘not straight friendly’. And he didn’t want her to go to such a school. She was a great student, and started at Stanford and also transferred to Harvard. So I guess those two schools are ‘straight friendly’ ! |

She "believed that the league is 98% lesbian"? What? A quick google search of straight married players in that league dispels that myth within about 4 seconds.... Also, the same article says that the reason for such vitriol (in her mind) was so many players were competing for the attention of so few fans (it is well known that, that league has a very small following). This sound far more like a case of showmanship bullying than anything related to sexual orientation. In an offshoot, which should not need to be explained, nobody wants anyone to be picked on for their sexuality..... Anyone who advocates for gay rights would never endorse such behavior (which probably never happened, at least not in the way it is being depicted)...... An article from 2017 about incidents 10 years before the article? This seems like a stretch.... |

Just because someone is married doesn't mean they are not gay. Even Aaron Rodgers just got engaged to a woman. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I don't want to get into an argument of gay people conspiring fake marriages to cover themselves socially, because I know I will not change your view, and this has already been hashed out plenty.... But, do you really believe 98% of the women in that league are gay (specifically gay/lesbian, not bisexual)? That is quite a claim. Even 60% would be absurd. But, 98% ? ..... (For the record I have no clue who Aaron Rodgers is, so I cannot comment on that example). |

When the WNBA hosts its All-Star Game in Minneapolis on July 28, 2018 there were seven publicly out LGBTQ players out of 22. That is 31.82%, I doubt very much that very many gay WNBA players have a compelling reason to remain in the closet. So I am going to guesstimate approx 33%.
