Gay Professional basketball player Jason Collins made worldwide headlines last week, announcing his sexual preference before the world. Apparently, that makes him the Jackie Robinson of 2013. We are being told that Collins is the first gay athlete from one of the major sports to make this announcement.
Figure skating isn't considered a major sport?
It took incredible courage to make the announcement, as he was almost crushed with the avalanche of near-universal praise from other athletes, the entertainment news media, and politicians alike. Even our gay president took a break from deliberately punishing The American people to call Collins.
There are some who have not shown the proper level of enthusiasm for Collins' big announcement. It seems that the majority of Americans didn't really care one way or an another about who the basketball player sleeps with. There even may be a sports reporter out there who disapproves of sodomy. Off to Sensitivity Training Classes with him!
I predict that actor Jamie Foxx will win the 2015 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Jason Collins.
While we're at it, your bushy-tailed correspondent would like to take this time to come out of the closet. I am.............an Evangelical Christian Conservative Republican residing in a deep-blue, major urban center. Now, Where's my praise from the news media?
