What's wrong with his post? He was just saying he would laugh if Darren Young was pushed because he came out of the closet,nothing homophobic about what he had said Do you mean there's nothing homophobic with his post besides the fact that he uses the word, "homo" in a derogatory way? Tbh, lt seemed a little derogatory but he could have just said it playfully. Besides, derogatory comments are only offensive if YOU give them merit. Just ignore it. |

Pretty much,even the 'homo' part would've been fine if he hadn't used it to insult Young |

If anything I just hope that him and Titus get a bit more TV time and eventually a run with the Titles. I've been hoping that since they debuted as a tag team. Really missing Abraham Washington. That guy was great |

Good to see, even though sexuality shouldn't be an issue in this day & age, it's a pretty big deal. The ignorance & idiocy of some on here is pretty lame.

While I have nothing wrong with people wanting to be gay, I dont see why when its announced by an athlete/celeb, that is has to be a big deal? I thought the whole reason for equal rights was for everyone, no matter your sexual orientation, to be "treated as one". However every time someone comes out not only the media but people, both in and out of the community, parade them around like some hero. Be who you are, be proud of who you are but if you want to be treated like "everyone else" then stop making a big deal out of the situation when someone does it.

I reported your post. I hope it gets removed. This kind of childish, adolescent homophobia is uncalled for. To demean someone because of their sexual orientation is ignorance in it's highest form. lmao, i love making fun of gays. my whole family laughed about darren young. you're cool. |

This thread makes me groan. The Internet loves finding any shred of negativity to focus on with anything and everything. Either be happy for him or keep your bitterness to yourself. He came out, people are proud of him, and your bickering won't change a thing.  |

It's a big deal because the guy has the public eye on him because he is famous. It's harder to come out in this world when you are in a profession in which other people decide whether they want to pay to see you. There are still plenty of blindly hateful people in the world. Now imagine how you would feel if the company you work for risks being protested and bashed for employing someone that has a different sexual orientation. I imagine it'd be hard and a little intimidating. In Darren's shoes I'd probably think to myself that I would be hated by many people within the company because it could shine a lot of negativity towards them. Luckily that wasnt the case. He was brave and the company is behind him with support.

Additionally, people in prominent roles or just television personalities are locked at (although sometimes unfairly) as role models. It makes sense that people see this as a big move toward more acceptance of others. Besides, this adds new dimension to WWE's Be A Star events.

Do you mean there's nothing homophobic with his post besides the fact that he uses the word, "homo" in a derogatory way? he didn't in my eyes "/ i agree with the original statement, its unfair that he gets a push for being gay and admitting it, if he gets a push from this. people have said its no big deal as it normal for people to be gay, so why there's all this buzz is hypocritical. (hypocritical in the sense gay rights believe its normal yet make a big deal over it still) |

Of course there going to support him, do you expect them to say " We don't support Darren Young and us in WWE are anti gay" and fire him the next day?  |

It still isn't as widely viewed as a normal concept in society like it should be, that's why people who make progress like this have so much pride about it. And as for the homo comment the user in question was just quoted a few posts above saying he loved making fun of gays, so any argument saying he wasn't using the term in an offensive manner is irrelevant. |

Because it's still so rare in athletics. It needs this stage, where it's all celebrated like a big deal, to show people that it's okay. Ten years from now, it won't be a big deal. But to get to that stage, we have to go through this stage. |

Two men cant make a child and neither can two women so theres no arguing the fact that whoever created us did not intend on us to be with the same sex. Races can reproduce with other races as well as handicaps so I fail to see any comparison there.. |
