Does something about anything ALWAYS have to be bad or off? What the hell is the matter with you people? He is reaching out, changing his thinking, and moving in a positive direction and you have the nerve to be critical about trivial grammer? You people are idiots. If all gays were like you, I would not 'admit' that I was a 'homosexual' because I wouldn't want to be guilty of being hateful by association to you.

Uh... yeah. I don't think your readers need that advice as badly as you do, Queerty. Christ, you're miserable people to be around these days. “But hey, give the man credit…”

What does this site do? Treat him to all the typical snark and add a grammar lesson to boot (quite a joke, coming from this site!) Ain't you bitches ever heard of forgiveness or redemption? Didn't think so... Way to piss on a new friend and ally...go Queerty!

There's not much out of place about it; it's just a slightly more formal word. Get over it. Uh… homosexual may be the clinical term, but it’s STILL another term.

Or maybe Bourne could have called up GLAAD (who has a Sports Media director) before writing his column. Valid points I think ...

Expressing negative comments towards someone who admits they were wrong in the past and wants to work towards changing attitudes for the better in organized sports. What, did a hockey player piss in your cornflakes this morning or something? Equal rights and respect are never going to be won by insulting the very people we want to win over to our side. Wow.

And, when one makes and effort to change and takes a stand against hatred, they deserve derision? That's a pretty constipated mode of thinking. #3 – So, are you saying that no one is capable of changing their heart and mind with regard to homophobia?

That he doesn't want to be anti-gay anymore? That is like celebrating someone who pays their bills on time, you are supposed to do it. Sorry, I'm not celebrating him at all. He was/ is anti-gay on his own accord. Gay people weren't involved in that. It is pure anti-gay hatred. Celebrate what? That he doesn’t want to be anti-gay anymore?

Having just read his column, he's a helluva lot better writer than some of the ones you have on here. He wrote a great column - a really great column. Celebrate the man: rejoice that he's using his brain, that he's prepared to take a pro-equality stance and that he's so eloquent as well. We need more people like him in this world - both as a writer and an advocate. For God’s sake Queerty, get a grip.
