Former BYU gay athlete doesn't see a problem..Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post
It is kind of like the argument who knew Bro. Joseph better? His (first) wife, Emma, or Bro. Brigham?One gay, former BYU athlete who reached out to The Salt Lake Tribune, said he believed Athlete Ally's letter was well intentioned but misguided.
"I never received any discrimination," said the man, who asked not to be identified because he has not come out publicly. "On the contrary, as I came out to a handful of close friends and teammates at BYU, the initial surprise was quickly met with love, acceptance and toleration. The LGBT cause is being furthered at BYU, just in a different method."
The BYU alumnus said he believed those who have expressed fears about LGBT athletes competing in Provo were speaking from ignorance.
"It's a different environment at BYU. It's a church school. But there's never a situation where a gay person should feel threatened," he said. "I never felt that way. The Honor Code is different. But you know what the situation is going in, whether you're gay or straight.
"I heard more [anti-gay] things at other schools where we competed," he added, "than anything at BYU.""If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

That's an interesting take on the relationship between JS and BY...Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Oh man. What a bunch of pussies. Buck up former college athletes. I get that they're trying to take some cheap shots at BYU but give me a break. What do they think is going to happen? An HCOfficer is going to run them over with their jazzy? They're forced to join Vocal Point? A Mormon slams the door in their face? The world isn't a safe space but BYU is about as safe as it gets for a visiting athlete. I'm about to theOriginally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostComment

Regardless, "knowledge" you gain as a sports fan won't help you here. Sports facts will not figure in to the outcome.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Have you ever seen most sports writers? By failed, you must mean failed at making the freshman team. The majority of sports honks are 5'8" white guys who love sports, were good students, and terrible athletes. I would ask that the prosecutor clarify his argument or the whole portion will be stricken (do they really say that in court?) from the record.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment
