> [@Esco](#): > > Just FTR, its about split 50/50, some players are comfortable showering with gays, and the other 50% is not (at least on my team). > So you see, I’m not the only one. And since we live in a democracy, and therefore 50% of any given sports teams has rights too, we should be given separate showering stalls and dressing rooms. > > Its as simple as that. Sadly for you, that “democracy” only applies to the government. Not a privately owned establishment. So it looks like your only option is suck it up, buttercup. It’s as simple as that. > [@](#): > > And who cares if a bunch of pinko lefties are offended or not. > You guys get offended at pretty much everything that doesnt suit your ultra left-wing political views Again with the “you have to tolerate my intolerance!” Bigot, please. :rolleyes: ---

A question for the OP: given that you feel that wanting segregated locker rooms and almost upchucking over gay people making out is “a bit” homophobic, what actions and/or attitudes would qualify in your book for “significantly” homophobic? How about “very” homophobic? ---

How about “very” homophobic? Probably something like [this](http://www.news.com.au/world-news/gay-rights-activist-eric-ohena-lembembe-found-tortured-and-killed-after-warning-about-anti-gay-thugs/story-fndir2ev-1226680461826). The police are currently investigating rumors that the incident may have been triggered by him “looking at some guy’s winky in a locker room”. ---

> [@Esco](#): > > I said on my team its split about 50/50 Nearly 10 pages and you’re still at it? It’s remarkable. You’ve taken un-repentant willfull ignorance to a new level. You’re wrong to the bone but you’ll be damned if you’re going to be convinced of it, eh? And all you ever really wanted is a shower stall with a curtain so you can have some privacy to wash your sweaty junk. Not an unreasonable request and I think most people here would agree with you. Until you dragged your rampant homophobia into it. See, that’s where things went wrong for you. But hey, keep digging that hole. I’m sure you’ll convince nobody, but hey, you’re giving it everything you got, right? :rolleyes: ---

The articles don’t do that and no one gives a flying shit about your fictional powder puff team. Good god, you’re hilarious. > > But keep responding. I like watching you jump through hoops for me. It’s real sweet that you care so much about my opinion. You got a crush honey? This has gone on quite long enough. You both need to stop posting like this in IMHO. I’d issue warnings, but since this thread is going nowhere, I’m closing it. If you want to keep it up, there’s a Pit thread.
