A More Colorful Game

Most of you have heard by now of the recent "out-of-the-closet"-edness of former basketball player John Amaechi. I've heard about it, and I'm not even a very big fan. Regardless of his preferences, he has been doing wonders for my fantasy league (gays have magical powers!). This really shouldn't come as a big shock to you. The history of the NBA has been dealing with homosexuality for quite some time now. They have tried many different ways of bringing to the public's attention, but this is the first time someone has announced it publicly. Let's take a look back into the not so distant past to see who else we have suspected as a homer:

Name: Magic Johnson Preference: Bisexual Evidence:Seen her recruiting for gaykind; susceptibility to illness.

Name: Dennis Rodman Preference: 98.6 degrees. Evidence: The picture should say enough.

Name: Puff Daddy Preference: Bisexual (experimenting) Evidence: Hasn't yet been confirmed, basing on America's opinions.

Name: Wake Forest Demon Deacon Preference: Neither--youth Evidence: Was given the name "Deacon" by his close friends of the cloth, the Catholic clergy. See preference. Name: Duke Mascot (also moonlights as the Hamburgler for birthday parties.) Preference: Wake Forest Demon Deacon and anyone else resembling Mr. Peanut. See above. Evidence: Flare for the extravagant. Excellent tumbler.

Name: Green Day

Preference: Each other

Evidence: Their music is gay. Their make up is gay. Their clothes are gay. Enough said.

Moral of the story: we have been surrounded by them for years, and maybe even applauded some of their efforts. They aren't going away, so let's celebrate their accomplishments with them. ...from a safe distance.
