Default Does it matter that Jason Collins says he is gay?

Harry was interested for reasons known only to himself. Perhaps he
feels some sort of kinship in a, uhhh, backward sort of way.

I find it more interesting that Harry's beloved federal administration
is running a leaky sewage plant on the Potomoc River. Don't they
know that's not only illegal but a disgusting source of pollution?
Does Harry's president know about this? Why aren't the (probably)
unionized workers at the plant blowing the whistle? Are they culpable
also?


I find it interesting that you are clueless about who runs the sewage
plant.

It didn't make any difference to me when I read that Leonardo da Vinci
might have been gay, and he was a guy who really mattered.


I do understand why announcing his preference might matter to Collins,
but really, why does anyone else care? Yet, it seems that many people do.


D'oh.


Harry, concerning world events involving a trigger happy nutcase in
North Korea, and the possibility of a threat of war with Syria being
proprietary issues, why would you think that some ball players sexual
orientation would be worthy mention?


That was my point, indirectly, tim. Collins is all over the news and
many "prominent" individuals are commenting on his "coming out," and,
not being much of a sports fan, I don't know why. The question remains,
why does anyone care?



Ok. *harry*

I agree with Greg and Rich...



There are lots of posts here that are off-topic and to some of us, no
interest whatsoever.

D'oh.

da Vinci didn't shower with other artists - at least he didn't have to.

D'oh.


Deadbeats who file multiple bankruptcies might be a more interesting topic. Especially when the deadbeat is lying, neurotic braggadocio.

Harry is wondering this, because of his " coming out " soon.

More likely he's supporting you in your struggle with coming out.
After all, it's you who has an uncontrollable fetish for male on male oral sex.

Donnie, a decent, respectable liberal would never speak of gay sex in the derogatory manner in which
you do. If gay sex in all its forms is appropriate behavior, why do you persist in using it
'against' others in the newsgroup?

It's a very homophobic attitude.

How's that "fudge packing" thing working out for you, Johnny?
