While I think it was wrong to get rid of them, imagin if somehow eventually all the gays were phased out and it consisted of straight guys ... it's a GAY team for a reason.

Still though they could have let them stay on, just clamped down on any future hetro's in the cupboard!

Well, they were the winning team, and disqualifying them was probably important for the accusers.

The article said they were stripped of their 2nd place finish.

 

My view is that yes, it is a gay league but that doesn't mean all players should be outright gay. It may lose it's status though if more then 50% of players are were defined as not gay so, easiest answer would be to make sure more then 51% of players are gay, so then it's a gay team (so a cap basically). Although, saying that a bisexual person is not allowed to compete is just wrong and punishing the entire team is worse.

Everyone is bisexual. Even people who claimed to be outright straight and gay. (This is my personal opinion, regularly disupted by gay and straight people alike).


LOL

They should sue them for lack of tolerance and unequal treatment.

They already have, and they lost due to precedence. Since courts ruled that the Boy Scouts can exclude gays, obviously gays have the right to exclude heterosexuals from their organisations. It's only fair after all.

Oh ok then :) As long as law works both way without vocal minority getting preferential treatment I'm fine with that.

Don't worry. Contrary to whatever right-wing propaganda you've heard, minorities rarely get any preferential treatment (unless they're women, but they're not really a minority, just a persecuted group).

Fuck boy scouts, they act like a bunch of girls anyway. Last thing us gays need is more gays growing up acting like pussies, got enough of that already.

If you have a way to properly argument this opinion, you would greately help your position.

Like I said, personal opinion. I myself would class my sexual orientation as bisexual by about 85% straight and 15% gay. I can recognise a guy being attractive and sexually attractive. And for the right woman wouldn't say no to (what she called) threesex but I wouldn't persue a life long relationship with a man. I've met bisexual people who are more then willing to have relationships with both men and women and met both gay and straight people who can happily make comments of the sexual attractiveness of gender they do not usually find attractive. I've also met a lot of people who would saying that they don't find anyone of the same sex (or opposite depending on their orientation) attractive.

All these little differences show a scale of sexual orientation not just a scale of 3 answers (yes, no, maybe). It's just that on this scale of bisexuality percentage  any of the latter group above is very small side for the gender they are not attracted to. 95% one 5% the other, enough to ignore. The human mind is still built to find other humans attractive based on features and anyone even if they deny it can see if someone is attractive or not.



Hmm, pie.

Being able to ackowledge beauty has nothing to do with sexual orientation 0_o, I find some women attractive, just like I find some games attractive, and paintings, and shit like that. You saying I wanna fuck a flower??

I would never sleep with a woman, I don't find their anatomy sexually appealing in ANY sense of the word. Sexuality is who you're SEXually attracted to. As in want to have sex with.

Why the heck did these guys want to play on the gay team, anyway? And how did they find out the guys weren't gay? Did they find a secret stash of heterosexual porn? And why aren't straight guys allowed to play softball with gay guys? I can understand men not playing with women but guys playing a sport with other guy--how is that cheating?? Do straight guys play better softball!?

So many questions!! I never knew how hard it could be, being a straight man in a gay man's world.

They might be gay, ironically.

*mind blown*

I guess they weren't gay enough?  Sorta like how I'm accused of not being black enough by some black people?

I understand your argument, and while I too think that most people have such feelings, I think you're stretching the definition of "bisexual" a little too much. Like Seece already said, finding someone aesthetically pleasing isn't the same as wanting to get off with them.
