well done

It's a shame. Hardaway could ball too. He had a better crossover than anyone I've seen.

What an idiot. I hope they hold his feet to the fire for this.

Again, emphasizing the point that sports figures are not chosen for their smarts.

I hate gays!!!!111

"When whites stood by blacks they were heros" ???? Is he fucking kidding or or completely ignorant? They are heros now, but then?? This guy should learn a few things before he opens his mouth.

How in the world did it ever become politically correct to equate someone's sexual preference to race.

When you think of the oppression that black people and women in this country went through, the fact that someone could equate how they are viewed based off who they like to sleep with to those groups of people is down right offensive and ignorant.

Amchei has the right to do anything he wants to and sleep with anyone he wants to. But he does not have the right to tell or dictate how people view morality. He has absolutely no ground to stand on and no creditiblity to tell people how they should feel or they shouldn't feel or how they should think regarding their principles or beliefs, regardless of whether they approve or disapprove of his sexaul behavior.

Joe—as a British-Nigerian, Ameachi's experience is likely to have been different from many African Americans, growing up. But his "sexual behavior" is also a political issue. And I'd argue that he does have the right to ask people to support him. He's chosen to make his sexuality political—as is his right.

When will some people (Joe) stop trying to make a contest out of who is the more oppressed in our country. No one has claimed total equality even between black people and women as far as who was more oppressed. But to be basically making the argument that it's OK to hate gay people is just plain wrong, and to say it in public is even more wrong, and if you're famous it's even MORE wrong.

Sexual orientation is no more a choice than the color of skin, one's sex, or eye color. If you understand that, then you'd know it's not a "sexual preference."

Why's that important? Because the religion you choose is a preference. What you eat is a preference. Who or what you are, however, is not a preference. And THAT folks, is why it's similar to other oppression. It doesn't have to be EQUAL to the oppression of others to still be oppression.

Being gay is NOT about who one chooses to sleep with. It's about who that person IS. Yes it's about who they may be attracted to, but they may be single, not sleeping with ANYONE. The sleeping arrangements are not a requirement for being gay (sorry to tell those who think otherwise that, but it's true).

And unless we're going to put up to a popular vote EVERYONE's relationships(hetero or homo) then I think those who think they need to poke their nose up someone elses butt and decide who they can or cannot be with, or whether they should be treated as second class citizens under the law . . . they should ask themselves: "Would I like others to have a say or a vote on who I could marry, who I could have a relationship with or whether I can have or raise children, etc." Put the shoe on the other foot and the picture looks a lot different.
