And you knew it was coming, and it was no surprise from the Four-Letter Network

Chris Broussard, Bible-Thumping Bigot.

This should be nothing new, but, let's be honest here...  ESPN has done a lot (even with the one-hour grandstand it gave to OTL Monday to make us think they give a damn about this story).

But in that hour, the agenda of Real Manhood Through Bible-Thumping Bigotry came out in full color.

(Thank you to Deadspin for this one...)

Chris Broussard said, on the Worldwide Leader, being gay is an open rebellion to God.

He's made no secret of it.  It's his opinion.

Frankly, I'm no longer ensured he's entitled to it.

Fuck this noise.  I think one of the UK campaigns is the like of "There are gay people, live with it..."  (And if I'm wrong, I do believe it's close and will be corrected.)

The fact of the matter is this.  There are fucking people out there -- human beings GOD CREATED -- in fear for their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor because of who they love and how they love, in a country supposedly free of religious oppression.  (Those of us steeped in reality know better, but that's far beyond the scope of THIS blog.)

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", Mr. Broussard.  Romans 3:23, New International Version.

ALL.  Me, you, EVERYBODY.  We all are in "open rebellion to God" from one time to another.  I was taught that when I was SIX YEARS OLD, you idiot!

To have to, on one of the proudest days in the GLBT community's history of American sport, have one of the main NBA broadcasting networks allow that piece of bigoted asshole on the air, KNOWING that he was going to say something like that, just blows my mind, unless we really want to talk in terms of being a Real Man.

The National Basketball Association is one of the, if not THE, greatest supporter of GLBT Equality in the major sports in this country.  All my issues with how corrupt David Stern is, I cannot stand against him on this one.

Yes, he "distracted", ESPN.  The fact is, YOU KNEW what he was going to say.  He's made no secret he's a bigot.

What the fuck is he doing on that discussion, unless you are trying (especially with your tongue up the NFL's asshole) to demonstrate Propagandistic Real Manhood.

So, once again, we find out that ESPN is trying to CREATE the news again, by allowing an open bigot on the subject his say when he has no right to it.
