Slog - Comments on Completely Homosexual http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/completely_homosexual_1 Former pro-basketball player comes out... In his soon to be released book, former NBA player John Amaechi, who played six seasons for five different teams, admits that he is gay. He's the first NBA player ever to come out. Maybe Pastor Ted can hustle Amaechi off to his Super Magic 21 Day De-Gaying Camp. But something about the title of Amaechi's book tells me that he isn't going to interested in going straight... (Thanks to Gomez.)...

Choice? Wake the fuck up, people. We fags were born this way. Jesus.

But he just never quite fit in with the thug-life ballaz that make up the bulk of most NBA teams.

He approached the game as a profession, a job, and that rubbed coaches the wrong way, who felt you have to have passion for basketball to be any good. He rode the end of the bench despite possessing the talent to be at least a solid backup, if not a decent fill-in starter.

1) If therapy can make a person straight, then it must also be true that therapy can make a person gay, correct?*

AND

2) If sexuality is a choice, then could you please provide the day and year that you chose to be heterosexual?

*So called "conversion therapy" has been totally discredited by the American Psychological Association, a fact which seems to be missing from the news.

The guy would pick him up late nights, they'd do their thing, and he'd drop him off in the morning.

I also knew a guy who was banging the QB of the Seahawks back in the days when they really sucked.

I cannot believe the incredible courage it took for you to come out! Be sure that it is the first step toward the NBA becoming more open to gays. My straight friend Ed kissed an out gay teammate at center ice after a hockey game in front of everyone in the stands a couple of years ago. I was really shocked and pleased. This is the way it should be.
