Oh good, you know how to read. Now let's see if you understand what you've read.... I won't hold my breath.



Well, good thing I didAn't hold it. What I said doesn't mean that sexuality translates into social status. They are correlated. Do you know what that means? I'll give you a clue: Correlation =/= Causation. I said that they are generally far more educated, well paid etc than straight men which may be the reason as to why there is so much envy and falsehood being spread about them. Not that they are more educated, well paid etc because they're gay. See why reading comprehension is important?

This is supported if one considers that the overwhelming majority of those opposed to homosexuality tend to be found in lower education social groups, less money etc. Protestant blacks, Social conservatives, evangelicals etc. You don't find well off conservatives rattling their sabers against gay marriage unless they're trying to sell a book.



The only absurd thing here is that you failed to comprehend such a simple statement. No child left behind truly was a failure.



Compensating? No. I'm arguing homophobes are seeking to bring attention for their failed lives. Not compensating for it. Compensating would mean you're actually replacing it with something of remote equivalency. However, seeking attention is definitely not equivalent to living a failed life.



Spare me the big words buddy. You failed to comprehend a simple statement. It's too late to pretend you do now.

Wow, more blowhard-ish nonsense wrapped in theasaurus.com.

So if someone disagrees with the gay cause, that correlates, in your internet-intensive lifestyle, to certain evidence of an empty and failed lifestyle. What a desperately hopeless example of deductive reasoning that is.

We can't compare investment portfolios, check stubs, and life resumes - an act which would be perfectly on par with your ridiculous argument - but I've got a pretty good idea who I'm bantering with, and leave it at we don't live in the same neighborhood or attend the same church.

Lol. Now go ahead and make wild assumptions about church-going people. I can't wait.

You still can't comprehend what you're reading. I'm saying that if you feel gay men are chasing you, it's probably because you've grown up to believe that women are also chasing you. When in reality, it's far from the truth and nobody is chasing you. In the end, it adds up. The majority of people against gay marriage are low class, protestants. Not higher class intellectuals. So they're trying to pretend that their failure in intellectual, social circles don't exist by claiming that everyone who could be attracted to them will be attracted to them.

Gay Couples More Educated, Higher-Income Than Heterosexual Couples - US News and World Report

Among same-sex couples with both partners in the labor force, median household income is significantly higher ($94,000) than among heterosexual couples ($86,000). That's likely due to a number of factors, but education is likely one of them, says Gary Gates, a distinguished scholar at the Williams institute and the study's author. Around 46 percent of people in same-sex couples have college degrees, compared to under one-third of people in heterosexual couples. That higher level of education also likely contributes to higher incomes for same-sex households.

Gay people earn more, owe less - Dec. 6, 2012

Respondents not only reported significantly higher annual incomes -- $61,500 compared with the national median of $50,054 -- but they also carried about $4,000 less in debt than the average American and had $6,000 more in household savings. They were even slightly more likely to have jobs in the first place, with an unemployment rate of 7% versus the national rate of 7.9%, Prudential found.

A combination of factors play into this, said Michele Meyer-Shipp, chief diversity officer at Prudential. To start, LGBT individuals are generally well-educated, with more than half of respondents receiving at least a bachelor's degree, and tend to live in higher-income areas, she said.

"There wasn't really anything to "break" here other than random people's attitudes that being gay is icky. "

and it will be easier for others for multiple reasons, many in the league have praised him. Him coming out and getting praise is a big deal.

anyway now things are already changed and IF he finds a homes things will be forever changed cause he'll be the first pro-athlete in major american sports to come out.

No, what I listed is what is and what will nominally occur over time. You are saying he's making a change, I'm trying to get from you what that change will be. You have never addressed it, instead falling to lame "LMAO" dismiss comments. Some people said "good job!", well duh. To be expected, and not ground breaking change. Some percentage already supported gay athletes and would of course say "good for you!". So what's new? What's earth shattering? Can you at least give an actual response instead of juvenile "LAMO" responses?

That's just your supposition on the matter. But it's not going to be any more or less "gay friendly" than it is now, nor will it impact how "gay friendly" sports would ultimately become if left to their own devices. Nothing in this story, in this brouhaha suggests that there will be anything of substance to come from this.

1.) nope its what you ASSUME would occur and now you will never know because this happened, hence change/impact
I actually addressed it head on you just dont like my answer, deflect all you want i answered you very direct lol Your emotion continues to get the best of you and thats why you are resorting to being uncivil and failed insult but nobody buys the lie. I listed two reasons that you said then two of my own. Nice try but its a complete lie

do you want them again?

A.)"some will make noise, others will accept, others won't care." (the acceptance part is impacted)
b.) "There wasn't really anything to "break" here other than random people's attitudes that being gay is icky. " (yes now it wont be so icky, that was impacted)
c.) it will be easier for others to come out for multiple reasons (impact)
d.) many in the league have praised him. Him coming out and getting praise is a big deal. because it lets people know you have supports, REAL PUBLIC support which would have never been known without this move (impact)
sorry you fail! lol you can claim all you want i didnt directly answer but that is a lie and you may not agree with my answers but it doesnt change the fact i answered with actual response.

yep more proof how emotional this is for you ;)


2.) touting him? LMAO NO ( you love making stuff up. Why do you argue made up points and strawmen?)
identifying FACTS? YES
you fail again, nice try but would you like to stop making stuff up, because the proof is all right here ;) you lose again

3.) you simply dont know that and the people supporting him IN THAT SPORT disagree with you LMAO

its fine that you disagree but your not going to change anybody's mind because you dont have anything logical or factual enough.

If he, many players and coaches and owners and the president of the sport feel he did changes things, guess what, he did LMAO

you can debate degree but he factually changed things :shrug:

again do you have some facts you want me to aknowledge, tell me what you want me to say LOL it will be easier

now if you would like to talk about anything actually said let me know :D
or vent some more, its ok, let it out

good job abandoning your lies and trying to address the things i already gave you twice now

1.) its happening NOW lmao

3.) the reaction is already good, when top players, coaches, owners and execs of the league give you support that makes it easier.
4.) another lie, theres nothign assumed im going but those peoples owns words WOW dude you are desperate.

lets go over the facts, the NBA has been impacted, thats a fact. How greatly or how little, who knows but the impact is factual. :shrug:

is there something else you want to debate because you opinion about the impact is meaningless to me and i dont care how big or little you or i view it because thats opinion but the impact exists and it is factual.

Indeed, of course in the 70's there was a lot less acceptance, even less going further back. As we've progressed, we've seen opinion and consciousness change. So how is this case, this guy coming out now, increased that rate of acceptance? I understand the trend, I know it's easier to come out now than in the past, and that in the future it will be even easier. Didn't take this guy to make it true. Thus if this is a notable event, there must be an effect, and thus you can show me an INCREASE. Did the time rate of decay increase, and can you show it; or is all you have "I said so!"? Cause at this point, LMAO, it seems to be the latter.

No, I'm trying to get you to understand you're talking out of your ass. "because it lets people know you have supports, REAL PUBLIC support which would have never been known without this move". The assumption here is that his coming out CREATED REAL PUBLIC SUPPORT. The reality is that it's been there all along in the representative statistics and dynamics. This guy coming out does nothing to impact these numbers. If this is such a great and notable event, there will be affects on numbers. Did more people all of a sudden come out in support of the gay community? Public mind you, you claimed public. Where are the stats to prove the point? No...didn't think you had. So you want to call me a liar because I called out your assumptions, but you can do nothing to prove your assumptions any more than assumptions

LMAO, and I think you just messed up. Cause this is what I've been saying to accurate degree. You're trying to claim this as some great event, that we should stand up and look at it, that because of it public opinion is swinging and demonstrated and blah blah blah blah. But here's the truth. You do not know. You've assumed the whole dynamic, you've supposed the entire effect. You have no idea, and no analysis to show any increase over baseline. But here's a remarkable event, yes? Redefining the sport or sport's world or whatever other BS you want to throw out there. And end of the day....YOU DO NOT KNOW. You say it's "factual", but only as cover for your ignorance on the data set. You have no proof of factual. You have no measurement of increase from baseline, you have nothing but your supposition and assumption. Thank you for admitting you've done nothing but suppose and assume the greatness of this event.

Which is calling me a liar. Is this how far down the rabbit hole you're going. Also, nothing I have written thus far has been a lie.

No, you've taken a few published testimonials and holding onto them like gospel. What you haven't done is provided ANY numbers, stats, analysis to back your point. I'm not saying their wrong, I'm sure it was a brave thing, I'm sure back in the day it was harder. What I am not sure about, and skeptical about, is the overall influence and impact this is going to have on sports and on society in general.

5.) nice try ive been saying the impact is factual and you said it wasnt, wow another lie and back pedal LMAO it wont work dude. like ive been saying the impact is factual. The rest that you want to make up that YOU THINK i am saying based on your biased emotion is a completely failure because its your ASSUMPTIONS and nothin else. Meaningless exaggeration to deflect but the fact still remains it is a factual impact and the league says so, so does reality.

No lie, no back peddling. LMAO. If the impact is factual, you have the numbers to show it. If not, then you don't. So the ball is in your court. Factual impact, yes? You keep saying it over and over again. So PROVE IT.

sorry this bothers you but this has impacted the NBA, period. :D

Has it? How many more gay people have come out since his announcement? What percentage turnaround in opinion has occurred? Factual, yes? Factual is measurable. Where's the measurement? That's all I'm asking for, been asking for nothing more this entire time. Factual means real, real has impact that can be measured. Show me the measurement.

the proof is the league and people in it and whats happening, you lose.

Have the rules changed? Has admittance changed? Have more people come out and declared themselves gay? Has there been an appreciable increase in acceptance?
