Jamesqu:

1. It's a shame living a lie
2. It's a shame people won't understand him
3. It's a shame his career might be over
4. If you have know discrimination, prejudice, condemnation, you'll feel for this guy
5. There are many more in active sports, even in Nigeria, even outside of sports...
6. If you understand what makes a man gay or how he came to be gay...then you can make peace with him...otherwise you'll just pull your hairs out for nothing.

Best of luck bro!

zenatta: Why are gay people like this; why are they so apologetic on one hand or belligerently demanding to be accepted on the other hand.
Could it be a conscience overload.
Me, I have started to accept this eerie phenomenon; seeing masterpieces of God succumbing to a class of citizenry that even animals would shudder to contemplate.
I don't believe anyone is born gay, yes it is a mental condition, a struggle between light and dark, (and I sympathise), in which the sufferer can choose to stand tall.

it is a mental condition, a struggle between light and dark,

tchaik:
STHU, nobody is 'always gay'. You turn into one.

ozo_emeka:

Don't be stupid. Homosexuality is found even in animals - dolphins, elephants etc. It was here before the ancient greeks so it is nothing new. Retards say things like . So it is a struggle between light and dark when you see a pretty girl walk past you?

Hezron Lorraine: I never knew jason collins as a veteran in nba.I'm one of those passerby nba basketball fan.out of the blues a shocker came and its from the nba.It takes all the strength in world to do so.i for one believe coming out takes a different perspective to people,if you are in an environment where ur lifestyle isn't popular is looked down upon,I believe u nid a coming out especiallu if u're a person of worth and relevant to d society.if you come out,face d worst.but if you r outed,dts a scandal.its better to be open of your lifestyle or stay in between.for example,I'm not particular about u finding out I'm gay,u know gud,u don't gud.I'm neither secretive or flambouyant of it.u ask me.I'll never denie.jason's coming out is another stitch in time that saved nine.in d past people felt it was unrealistic for macho men esp men of colour to identify dmselves as gay talkless of men in hyper-male sport like basketball.many have done in d past,now he chooses his path,he can only bask in d glory of those who welcomed and accepted him but needs to face d punchline$his team is officially tagged now,d gay man's team.that alone is enough in court.wait till he plays next.his story shows the pain and misery many gay people go through just to feel the same with everyone.the fake double standard life.miring in self pity and self denial always.its not easy to channel ur passion to drive something to glory and be scared of people's perception of the real u.an out nfl ex player wade,said he sometimes went with teammates to strip clubs just to feel among.no one could have suspected he was hiding his true self.in the legal world,there's a saying that goes,'absence of evidence is not evidence in absence'.society needs to learn that.I hear straights say I don't care just don't shove it in my face,truthfully no straight does some coming out cos u r generally accepted even if u r a murderer,coming out for any gay is a phase to actualize our potence and important,our values,our pride,our dignity,our humanness ib the same vein as the str8ts.to suppress the society from withdrawing from u if u don't make it known initially.coming out helps reduce a lot,esp when it is unexpected.you never want to be d black sheep of d family,no.u nid to re-inforce urself into that sane bond.collins came out at a much needed time.it just further showed america anyone is who.I know some of us are born gay,some out of curiousity,some don't fancy d lifestyle but enjoy it.I can only conclude that almost everyone has a gay tendency in him/her,but the level to which you accept it,find it pleasurable,the contact around u helps shape ur attitude to it.when I was outed as gay by telling the wrong person.I let suicidal thoughts roll into my brains,but I got up and decided,no I won't killing myself only continues the suffering.if I can survivr the pains and hardship,I'll have a story to tell.if I take my life,I just denied someone an inspiration to claim his self worth not what was imposed on him.I may not know y people are gay but I do know u never want to know the burden true gays face in life,u may smile and shine ur teeths everyday,but a puzzle is missing in u.I don't know if there's a cure for being gay as bigots claim it to be.but I know living a life free burdens is worth it.its more conceivable to remain without any blemish.not all gay people are a bunch of lustful animals who are after sexual pleasures,many of us do seek a life we see befiting even if it isn't perfect.I'll forever find it hard to enter a union with a lady I won't fully commit to or satisfy her in all ramifications out of pressure.many marriages end in doom,cause of decisions like ds.d ladies only become baby atm.the essence of marital life dy don't enjoy.y cost a woman happiness when u can choose to live free of it.its always hard coming to terms with being gay,people have survived,I am surviving mine,many more would.all it takes is getting that balanced beam and surviving the long jump.to fellow bros in nigeria,rome wasn't built in a day.some have to struggle for others to survive.if the UK can becoming a frr state inclusive to homosexuals when in d past,dy instituted sodomy laws in dr territories and once allowed chemical castration for gays in Britain.Nigeria's case isn't a rip off.the irrelevent jail the gays bill b4 the national assembly is yet to pass the committee stage.I find d bill odious as Obama said cause I don't think any right thinking gay nigerian would clamour for marriage equality or get married to their partners when u are yet to be respected as a gay person,not to mention that ur society can't comprehend homosexual intimacy.whether it comes to stay or not.the day of reckoning awaits.

Homosexuality is also found in dogs too, I have seen this with my own eyes. The only gay people I can't stand are the ones who pretend to be straight, you know the ones on the down low, I hate them with a passion because they will marry a woman and have children with her and still creep around with other men, living a lie and dragging his innocent wife and kids into his life of deceptions, and destroying lives. I do respect the gay man who is open, that way we women know to stay away, as far as intimate relationships are concerned, also I can respect the ones who are gay but hasn't come out yet but does not enter into a intimate relationship or a marriage with a woman.

Klinee: u are a gay!shut up.gay is evil stop it now!

Talk Hoha:

I don't know why you can't stand the ones who pretend to be straight. With all the homophobic hostility and violence in Nigeria (I'll just mention the three gay men stripped naked and paraded in the streets in Imo State), many will pretend to be straight and get married. Your anger should be directed at homophobic prejudice. Gays will contract sham marriages, have children of doubtful paternity, perhaps become wife-beaters or drunkards or drug-addicts in frustration, because of the 14 year jail threat among other factors. Gays have been around in all periods of history, and also abound in the animal world. The wise thing is to accept the varieties of creation, that to be homophobic is on a par with being racist or sexist.

khiaa:

You just gave all the reasons I can't stand the ones on the down low.

1. Sham marriages
2. unwanted children
3. wife beaters
4. Drunks
5. Drug Addicts

The wise thing to do is to come out, if you cannot, stay away from women, just stay single. Why bring a woman and children into your misery.

khiaa:

You are s.t.u.p.i.d and ignorant. You think because I am not homophobic like you are, it means I am gay. LOL, you are a dumb mothersucker.

Klinee: for ur mind this is what make a person?eeh! U are a devilish gay woman.God will punish u.

Klinee: is either u are a homosexual or a homophobic ok.u are a devil

Klinee: @khiaa.this is why i say that you are a devilish gay woman.Trying to enforce gayism into humanity.Homosexual is worse act on earth-vry bad.I wonder and i still can't understand the reason why a man will have feeling or sex with fellow man,oh my God! Sometime i think how can a man be a gay,i can't figure out the reason.if you read all my post you will be tell how i hate gay and those who say that they are not but they are promoting the evil.if you say that you are not a gay then stop propagating and promoting it-its inhuman and evil.i hate gay and i can never witness such an act and pass by.gay is worse act very bad and stop forcing people to be gay instead ask them to stop it.maybe this collins now did not have any gay feeling but its people like you will give him money and ask him to say he is a gay because i see no reason why a man will be gay unless ritaulist.GOD WILL PUNIS* U FOR MAKE THIS DEVILISH COMMENTS.u will die mu.mu,eidiot.
