[Homebrew]

In upcoming ESPN Magazine and The Advocate, WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes comes out of the closet:

The Advocate cover story with Swoopes will appear in the November 22 issue, on sale November 8. The ESPN magazine article hit newsstands Wednesday. In the ESPN story, AP reports, Swoopes says she has come out because “I’m tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about. About the person I love.”

Yay, Sheryl!

I also thought this was kind of sweet, and didn’t realise that Swopes was a hottie (at least she is in the photos I’ve seen linked to articles on the matter). But I just wondered what the average person’s reaction is:

a) Who is Sheryl Swopes? (Isn’t that a website that debunks stuff?)
b) I told you all female athletes were dykes.
c) It’s okay for female atheletes, ice skaters and divers to be gay.
d) That’s why the hurricanes hit <insert placename here>
e) Why is it anybody’s business?
f) Who cares?

If only the average person knew about and used Snopes …

Good for her. I admire anyone who is true to self.

Put me down for a combination of E and F. The U.S. has far too many busybodies.
