Why is it that every time I read a quote by someone in sports on the subject of gay rights or religion in general, I’m disappointed? First, a couple weeks back Ryan Church (a Washington National) disseminated some anti-semitic (and inaccurate) Christian doctrine, and now this. Summary: a private school in (believe it or not) Texas taught the short story “Brokeback Mountain” to some high school seniors. That story, upon which an upcoming movie is based, is about–gulp–queer cowboys. Well, some of the parents weren’t totally thrilled about this, including Cary McNair (whose daddy is the owner of the Houstan Texans) and Ben Crenshaw (who is a professional golfer and amateur jackass). McNair rescinded a $3 million pledge to the school and generally started what I’d like to characterize as a fracas.
I’m starting to get really sick of people who feel the need to aggressively impose their views on me. They should really just start blogging.
Thanks for the link, Lauren!
