Why NBA center Jason Collins is coming out now

you should look it up rather than asking hypotheticals. ppl have their reasons.

 

well the simple fact is we live in a homophobic society, you act like this is some kind of prize, what he did isn't easy to do....

 

i think this is bullcrap. she's trying to milk the situation for what it's worth. if it was so bad why does she have to tell every reporter in the world. she just wants her 15 minutes........damn bird.

 

Good for him. Now let's move on to important things, like the "sequester", budget austerity throughout the developed world, the environment, global conflicts and the need for peace, stopping violence in all its forms, etc.

 

I'm glad someone said what I was thinking.

 

you are sooooo gayist

 

Maybe because she was left at the alter?? :smt102

Validation that their failed engagement had NOTHING to do with her?

When HE PUT IT out there for his 15Mins, he put HER OUT there. You don't think the reporters came after her for her side? More like, caught in the middle of his lying ass bullshit bird.

 

as far as I see ...both parties are benefiting

 

Was he really lying Bliss? Or was it closer to him lying to himself and trying desperately to live a life that was not what he truly wanted. We agree that none of this was fair to her in any way (years wasted, emotionally ect.), especially since, in the article I read, she never had a true sense of closure until now. Tough situation for sure, but to me it does not seem like he intentionally set out to do her harm.

 

I think this is probably much closer to the truth.

 

Well it depends - if he cheated on her with other men while with her....then he's a complete liar and wasn't lying to himself trying to live a hereto life. However, from past indications, men who come out suddenly do so usually because s*it was about to hit the fan....a former male lover, or a recent ex male lover...etc. Since he has put his sex life out into the public domain, only time will tell if he was lying to her or just to himself.

 

Agreed, lets hope he was not out there with other guys while he was with her, cheating and exposing her to possible STD's.

 

shit makes u wonder..

that was the big thing with men creeping around with other men

supposedly that lifestyle contributed to many HIV cases


many people just arent eductated about HIV transmission through unprotected oral/anal sex

 

This kind of ties in with what Loki suggested...acute denial.

There are a lot of men who tell themselves that they are straight but 'shit just happened'. This is why they won't cap it...because to do so is a conscious acknowledgment of what is about to go down, instead of two guys drinking who suddenly 'fell into each other's asses" and woke up acting like it didn't happen.

 

im sure she getting tested for everything.....EVERYTHING

 

relationships break up all the time.....left at the altar, maybe he just thought she had a nasty personality was using him for fame, kinda like she is doing right now!

after 8 yrs she should have learned to move on. engagements break up all the time. she's no different to tiger's groupies. all wanting 15 mins.

for all we know he could have been outed. for her she could have ignored the whole thing. it's called no comment....she just wants an oprah interview.

 

Are you cereal? Nasty personality?..fame whore? Did you even read the article??

You must not have because in your rant you said after 8 yrs she should have moved on....she was WITH HIM FOR 8 YEARS, they broke up in 2009.

And way to go comparing her to Tiger's groupies, smh.

BTW, isn't Oprah passe now? :smt081

 

lmao

 

not gay myself, but it's not fair to assume because he's gay that he is all these stereotypes. and some were wondering why he was in the closet.

 

relax........none of what you said refutes my point......the year is 2014, you said they broke up in 2009, calm down and do the math....

she's comparable to them in that there was no reason for her to be doing interviews. just like tw's girls they were only there to bash tiger, she is there to tell his business. she is a washed up wnba player who no one was checking her outside of this story.

if you weren't such a blatant homophobe, you would overreact to your own quotes. all she said was he told her he was gay and that was the reason he broke it off. there's nothing that implies he was using her as a beard, it seems more like he was confused....and he probably didn't tell her at the time because he was worried she might have outed him.
