Brian Boitano: gay

[dammage79]

Is this really that big of a deal?

Live and let live. All this announcement serves is a political agenda Aime squarely at Russia. By that I mean nobody would have second guessed this in the eighties, when it may have been an uproar from the xenophobes.

Today its just a " yay, you came out twenty five years later".
Biggest piece of non news if there was any.

Dudes lived a full life and the people that mattered most in his already knew. Why the world would give to flying f#*"is now is beyond me.

Great news, I'm glad he's gay. One less physically fit, well dressed male not going for the poo-say means, well, actually nothing to me because I'm married. But still, I wish you were all gay. :/

I do too although other Canadian figure skating greats like Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko are not.

Why coming out is important:

And yes, Rick himself is out: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2...oes_viral.html

The whole "don't ask, don't tell" vibe that I'm getting from some in this thread only serves to isolate those people who are different that don't have role models to show them that it is okay for them to be different.

I can care less what two people do with one another, gay or straight.

Wait, when did this happen?

Oh wait, are you talking about the duck dynasty guy? He sounded like an extremist, that made Russia look tolerant.

If that wasn't what you were referring to, then maybe you could explain what it was

I was wondering if this was who pimking was referencing with his comment.
