SMH at Michael Irvin

[Bear Pand]

Former Dallas Cowboys great Michael Irvin appears shirtless on the cover of this month's gay men's magazine Out and discusses his passion for equality issues.

In the article, Irvin describes how his brother's sexual orientation contributed to his own issues.

He says that he found out his brother was gay in the late 1970s, when he found Vaughn wearing women's clothing. Michael Irvin was rattled by the experience and has figured out since that it contributed to his own womanizing behavior. Working with a Dallas area bishop, T.D. Jakes, Irvin looked at the past.

"And through it all we realized maybe some of the issues I've had with so many women, just bringing women around so everybody can see, maybe that's the residual of the fear I had that if my brother is wearing ladies' clothes, am I going to be doing that? Is it genetic?" Irvin said to Out. "I'm certainly not making excuses for my bad decisions. But I had to dive inside of me to find out why am I making these decisions, and that came up."

You want to support equality that's cool...but

why you gotta take it this far? Was this cover really necessary?

So Michael Irving is Michael Irvin's gay brother?

So Michael Irving is Michael Irvin's gay brother?

When Irving was caught with a crack pipe he initially claimed "It's my brother's, he left it in there"

So...:ionno:

So Michael was a misogynist and a player because he was afraid he'd be gay otherwise? Some people are fucking stupid.

 

[red33]

BWAHAHHAHA oh cry me a river.

My brother is gay, people will make fun of me, my life is so hard, BWAHAHAHAHAH

what a dumbass thing to say.

Its pretty common. Kids are stupid.:bongrip:

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Even I can't defend Mike...I've met him twice, and each time he had these ridiculously tight pants on...like...spandex jeans. I knew then something was not quite right with Mike.

Its pretty common. Kids are stupid.:bongrip:

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

Sounds pretty gay to me.

"I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life," he said, according to the magazine. "No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality."

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

Still that cover is suspect

I don't really care what this article is about. I mean I read the article, and I still don't care.

All I can think about is, nice shoulder pads, they look vintage. Wonder what they go for $$?

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?

 

[BrntO4Life]

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.

 

[ralaw]

I guess he needed that check.
