What's your point NOtoPROP8? He makes it pretty obvious and to the detriment of his standing in his sport. He has to shout it out to the world? He does so much for gay rights... what is your problem?

[dobbsm1979]

He doesn't need to say he's gay (though he did in the speech, abstractly, referring to "us" and "our people"). At the end of the day, whether he is, or not, is irrelevant. Interviewers don't harass straights to admit they're straight, so why harass gays (or those perceived/believed to be gay). He's not 'in the closet' he's not in 'denial' it just DOESN'T MATTER.

Love the comment about his grandma. He looks great. I love how he always thanks his family for how he was raised and all that. Good comments from him, as always. And funny as always, along with the seriousness.

@plutoplatters I was addressing my comment to NOtoPROP8. That is the reason I said it. I didn't "bring it up" I commented to someone who had.

@dobbsm1979 if it " DOESN"T MATTER" then why bring it up for a quadruple zillionth time ?
