Prey? Good one.

The gay rights movement is similar to that of the African American and Women's rights movements of the past.

It doens't affect me either way, so I can't say that I'm all for or against this, but "some" of the comments you guys make are pathetic regarding something like this.

I'm not bashing who started the thread, because I do believe this is a legit question. Not sure how I feel about the President making a comment about it..

And are we to assume you to be the 'Johnny Come Authority' on what is and is not pathetic? The thread starter asked why the POTUS would feel compelled to make a public statement about a gay basketball player coming out. I think Skinny asked a very good question, why would Obama want to do something like that? Since when do presidents talk about individual's sexual revelries? I know we can't get him to say jack about Benghazi, LOL.

I didn't think the equal rights goals of the African American movement had anything to do with having sexually depraved behavior justified through the courts. Although advocates of women's rights may well bear some similarities with those of gay rights, in that both groups seem happy to hide acts of murder or the exploits of their homosexual bent, behind the modern day legalese of those particular repackaged and relabeled sins and social stigma, in the name of self indulgence.
