Including chugging pen1s.
    Well there is a difference between sucking the **** and beating up old ladies for money. The prior doesn't bother me at all.

      So yes, obviously.
      Fake alpha men on here. Acting like the musicians they listen to and the politicians they support are all straight strapping men because they pretend to be. If the sexuality of someone you don't know personally bothers you that much you need to start questioning your own.

        Yeaaaa it'd be pretty contradictory. Honestly I could get past a boxer who "might" be gay but never clarifying. But a boxer being openly gay and using it to define himself I would despise. Take that theatrical crap to UFC

          That's not the correlation I was drawing. I can understand the way I wrote it comes off that way though. I was trying to say it doesn't matter what these guys do outside of the ring, someone will take umbrage. Of course robbery and domestic violence are crimes and being gay is not but people still care. Openly gay athletes fail in this country because people care about ****sexuality as an issue that much.

            I can't speak for everyone, but you called bull**** on the posters, such as myself, for saying they don't care about that, when I don't. I don't know about openly gay athletes failing because of the fact that they are openly gay, if that's true then many must be bothered by it for one reason or another, that doesn't mean that the people here who say they aren't bothered by it are pretending though.

              Posters here always care. Especially about ****sexuality. Just stick around a while and read some posts.

                  Despise is a bit strong aint it? Especially coming from a Christian. Predictable tho.

                  Do you also have issues with boxers bragging about ****ing women and preaching Jesus? Would that also be theatrical crap?

                    I'm already a Kell Brook fan.

                    Oh....you said "openly".

                    Well Laced Up is a big David Haye supporter.
