SMH at Michael Irvin

[Senser81]

He's right about this part though. Black people are pretty pathetic when it comes to voting on things like gay marriage.

Which is odd, considering the enormous amount of gay blacks just here on VSN.

Some of you are missing the point of the cover.

I'll read the article to form my opinion. Good for Mike for sticking up for homos. Too many athletes are too scared to come out of the closet or support the gays for whatever reason, which is dumb.

You are really "out there".

I support gay rights (aka "sticking up for homos"), but I don't pose semi-nude on covers of gay magazines. That is so self-serving that its almost revolting. Irvin is a poseur clown, nothing more.

I also support religious freedom, so should I be expecting Irvin to dress up in female Muslin robes on the cover of the next issue of Christian Science Monitor?

This cover definitely seems slightly degrading to gays.

"Hey man, I realize now I won't be gay, so I'll grease up and go on the cover of a gay magazine!"

I think we need Fog in here for some real discussion.

I guess he needed that check.

Semi nude? He's in pants and shoulder pads. Dudes are wearing less on the cover of men's health.

The point of the cover is to show that the Irvin doesn't care about people calling him gay and is comfortable with his sexuality and that everyone should be. I think the cover establishes that pretty obviously, I don't see why it's a big deal really.

Its a weird cover.
I think you have to be someone with a good sense of humor or known to be willing to play the joke on them self to pull that off.

What is pretty common? Treating women like shit so you can prove to yourself that you aren't gay?

Sounds pretty gay to me.

Yes.

Treating them like shit , having sex with as many as you can etc.
Very common in black and hispanic culture as they have very masculine ideals and standards. Some seek that lifestyle out of early childhood fear or to cover up tendencies they may be realizing.

Which is another gay magazine, if you didn't know.
