Oh yeah? Thanks for the news.

This is something much different. The left-wing liberals coming out that they love the cock isn't anything shocking. The difference is that WWE is primarily right-wing conservatives, and the fact that they support him is a great step to equality.

I'd like to see someone come out in baseball.. I play a lot of baseball in a Spanish league here in the city and it's widely known that the majority of the Latino players are homophobic here as well as in the majors, I'm sure it's like that in football too but I'm just going by what I see on a weekly basis.. Take the Yunel Escobar eye black slur last year as an example.

I've talked to my Latino friends and they don't even want people to see them with a gay person because their friends might thing they're "confused" or that the gay guy is going to come on to them, it's just a completely outdated mindset :/

I thought an NBA player came out a month or so ago too.

Down here in the Antipodes it's so 1995 for a top level pro athlete to come out, since Ian Roberts - one of the most badass enforcers ever to chase an oval ball around a paddock - publically proved than only witless imbeciles believe the stereotype that gay fellas are soft.

Rugby is a gay sport. No wonder he came out. He probably got tired of pretending he didn't like getting fingers stuck up his arsehole in scrums.

There are some lesbian UFC fighters, and some of the women on our national soccer team are lesbians. Robbie Rogers, one of the LA Galaxy soccer players is gay.
