you guys are really gonna fault him for marrying that girl? you guys are treating it like he was just like "I'm gay, but I need to act straight". that seems to be totally ignoring the reality of the situation and the pressures involved

Everyone has outside pressures that effect their behavior. But at the end of the day each person is held accountable for his own actions.

Anyone who can go through a lifetime of lies and deceit, especially to the ones closest to them, and then only come clean when it is personaly/professionally beneficial to themselves, should not be applauded as "brave" or a "hero"

Gay people continue to get passes for truly reprehensible actions, cause they always have someone :cape: for them and making excuses.

I don't think we can assume he lived a "lifetime of lies and deceit". or at least I wouldn't use such an oversimplified explanation

how does that work, when he was the 'first'? "hero" or not, he's the guy. should they treat him like a villain? ignore it? or try to make the best of it?

He really wasn't even the first.

gay men can't control their urges. God only knows how many men he fukked behind her back.

The HIV infection rate of gay men speaks volumes about their sexual perversion

I guess that guy came out to his teammates and management, but not to the public until he retired. he also said that him coming out 'forced' him out of baseball
