Being Gay DOES make a difference

No it's not anyone's business.. but why should people have to hide what is a part of their identity. Young Gay people... at least the one's I've known, like to join in conversations at lunchtime and on coffee breaks.. and talk about what they did over the weekend.. and where they went and with whom.. They like to talk about their boyfriends/girlfriends.. just the way staight young people do. THey would like to be able to bring their partners to work functions... just like straight people do... BUT they can't if they hiding it, can they. SO it's not a matter of flaunting anything.. it's a matter of joining in the conversation and being accepted and belonging.

Agree! People insist on making this all about their sexuality. It's not. It's about falling in love with people of the same sex. Some couples have been together 40, 50+ years. Would anyone say that relationship is just about sex?
 
That's disgusting.. I wonder when Americans will get over the "gayness" thing.. These are people.. they live life exactly like the rest of us.. except they love someone of the same gender... there is no other difference. I assume Sam had no ulterior motive other than to play football and be who he is. Too bad the bigots abound and make that impossible. I cannot imagine what makes them care so much what someone else does in their home. I personally have enough to occupy my mind without worrying about what someone else does, especially if they are not hurting anyone.
 
It probably wouldn't be a big deal except it seems so many gays ( as in this case ) want to flaunt their gayness. They are looking for a fight. Most people don't go public with their personal life, whatever it may be.

I don't think they flaunt anything.. They want to be left alone and accepted for who and what they are... As for straight athletes not flaunting their straightness? You have got to be kidding me... Look at all the sexcapades we have been privy to over the years.. Magic Johnson comes to mind... Wasn't he with several thousand women? How about Tiger Wood? He certainly FLAUNTED his sexuality a bit.. didn't he?.. And the list goes on... YET.. no one cares about the Straight guys boinking anything that walks... only the one Gay guy that wants to live openly with his chosen mate and play football.
