Political Discussion - "on-topic & unmoderated"Rated PG13, unmoderated but threads must stay on topic - that means you can flame each other all you want as long as it's legal
Brian Burke At It Again! (Anti-Homophobia Campaign)
Funny you choose the word bigot. Check the etymology- it means "by God".
It's a lost cause spending energy making the world accept something so unnatural and foreign to our biology as homosexuality. It's never going to happen in the NHL, local communities, or the earth, because it makes no sense. You're fighting the flow of electricity, yin and yang, the positive and negative that charges the entire universe. Opposites attract, remember?
It doesn't take a history professor to sight that homosexuality is outlawed by almost all world cultures and especially religions. Buddism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Seik,etc. Should I go ahead and name every known religion? Or nation for that matter? It is just a basic human law, like not having sex with a parent. There are two groups who did practice hs openly and with children: The Greeks and Romans! Two doomed civilizations that eroded in immorality and strife. Sadly their influence still has a strong bearing on our (western) culture today.
To argue for the "rights" of those that practice anal and oral sex and use plastic toys for pleasure and form a political movement because of it is ridiculous. And you call it a lifestyle? How does that compare to true human rights, to not be judged by race, sex, or religion? It's a mockery. I have compassion for drug addicts, thieves, even murders. They are ill. But thy don't create a flag and banner and get up in your face in every quarter of popular culture to demand your respect and congratulations for their UNHEALTHY behavior.
Why do I care what other people do? Because I love life and people and we have to share this planet. Homosexuality is an effect of the imbalances in society and nature right now. There is so much inequality and suffering, so many disturbances to the "field." Economically. Physically. Spiritually. Mentally. Why can't men and women love each other in this time? Every single person I've met who is "gay" is not healthy or balanced. These are ones who need attention and therapy to find who they are and what their purpose is. We stray so far from nature and the simple truths. We will be the ones to change the world and pass down knowledge and wisdom to the next generations. We have to approach our problems with honesty to find solutions and move on.
My teaching is that as a man if you don't have the attraction to females then just hold your meditation and stay clean. Native Americans have traditions where those who were not the family type were put into positions of healing and counseling as "shamans." I am saying if your gifted by not being so average chemically why indulge in useless carnal activity that is deemed a "mortal sin" by so many of our elders? Stay clean and let's go for a skate, man!
Are you really trying to make the argument that since something worked in the past it is right?
A little late with this, but the news the other day had a clip of Patrick Burke talking about the whole thing. He sounds exactly like Brian, so much that if I wasn't watching the TV, I probably would not have been able to tell them apart.
I've played with a former NHLer who is gay, but obviously never came out publicly, and i have to say i'm very surprised that no one has come out yet, even after their career is over. The NHL seems way more tolerant and respectful than the other big leagues in North America.
Did they mention anything about knowing other gay players? I'm sure it's a well known secret between players who's out or not.

I did a search on google about openly gay nhl players. The only results that came up were rumors. The most common names to come up were Derek Roy, Wendel Clark, and Glen Anderson.
