Griner's "out"

[Russdawg]

Brittney Griner clarified things today. Took courage, sure wish she'd played for us.

So is it fine for a hetero boy to walk in a lockerroom and gape at the girl athletes to his heart's content?

you do realize that she is not the first gay athlete, right?

Wonder how this is going to play at Baylor?

Why is this news?? Last I heard our WBB coach is also.

Very true

Maybe the big deal is that this isn't a big deal. A decade or two ago, it would be major news if a top professional athlete came out of the closet (even if it was a WNBA player). In 2013, it barely registers.

Glad for her to be able to admit who she is. I am always proud of people when they are able to admit who they are to others, when there is still so much hate in the world.

I agree. Maybe it's news because it shows her character and courage and self-assuredness. Wish her the best and a happy life.

Does Griner like boys or girls?

Was Griner ever in?

[KSDAWG]

I got no problem with LGT but I am sick of people throwing it in my face and demanding an opinion. I don't care what preference politically or sexually athletes or movie stars have. I don't go around telling people how much I love women and that I'm a hetero and they better get used to it. It's none of anybodys business.

[ANODESSEY]

I don't want to know anyone's sexual preference, if you tell me then I will treat you however I want to.

Just curious, does Baylor still have and enforce a morality code for the students? Could open them up to some major financial and legal hits if they do.
