[Cebu_4_2]

As the playbook continues it's downward spiral...

Brian Boitano, the 1988 Olympic figure skating gold medalist who was named to the official U.S. delegation to the 2014 Sochi Olympics, announced today that he is gay.

"I am many things: a son, a brother, and uncle, a friend, an athlete, a cook, an author, and being gay is just one part of who I am," Boitano said in a statement.

"First and foremost I am an American athlete and I am proud to live in a country that encourages diversity, openness and tolerance. As an athlete, I hope we can remain focused on the Olympic spirit which celebrates achievement in sport by peoples of all nations."

Boitano's announcement comes two days after he was named by President Obama to the opening ceremony delegation that also includes Billie Jean King, the tennis legend who is openly gay. Boitano, 50, declined to discuss his sexuality in an interview for the book Inside Edge in 1995.

Boitano says he's proud to be chosen to represent the American delegation as a former Olympic athlete, but "I have always reserved my private life for my family and friends and will continue to do so."

Two-time U.S. ice hockey Olympic medalist Caitlin Cahow, who also is openly gay, was named to the closing ceremony delegation.

Their presence in the delegations has been viewed as a strong message from Obama against Russia's anti-gay propaganda law.

A gay figure skater. Whod a thunk it?

Brian Boitano... announced today that he is gay.


Billie Jean King, the tennis legend who is openly gay


Olympic medalist Caitlin Cahow, who also is openly gay

They're all gay! What, is being gay a prerequisite for being on the president's olympic squad? WTF?

[Spectrism]

My gaydar had BOY-tano pegged long ago. Amerika is proclaiming to the universe and to God that we are defiant against righteousness and in rebellion against the laws of God. Here is what you will see as God gives this nation over to corruption:

Increasing lawlessness.
Increasing evil of all sorts.
Destruction of the family and other institutions that protect children.
Widespread kidnappings and child murders.
Horrendous torture events will come to light.
Outlawing of christianity that will start with removal of tax-exempt status.
News media broadcasting absolute nonsense contrasted with facts.... already there.
Awards ceremonies for homos, government oppressors, false teachers who pervert biblical concepts, and comedians who ridicule christians.

Hell will follow the unleashing of the evil ones.

Sounds like there's going to be a little bit of Olympics going on at the Gay Protest Rally.

Contrast with Scott Hamilton, who IMHO battled a lot more, including being over half a foot shorter in a sport that is about looks and charisma in addition to athletics.

A Christian, also.

Your emotion seems directed more at the sinner than the sin. Furthermore, no individual speaks for America.

I thnk the whole US winter team is gay this time around isn't it? There was something about the Olympic reps or something chosen by Obama are all gay? I don't know. Somoene in my family was going on about this the other day. Yesterday maybe it was.

[BrewTech]

Anybody that has been around long enough to know who Brian Boitano is already knows, and has known since 1988, that he is gay.

The American people are generally so fucking stupid that they will conveniently "not remember", and treat this as if it were "news"....

...thereby facilitating the necessary drama to cover up whatever bullshit is currently happening that TPTB don't want anyone to pay attention to.

I'm surprised this even warrants discussion on what is supposed to be a "thinking man's" forum.

This is getting fucking boring.

I concur.
Whether or not this guy openly admits he's gay or remains in the closet isn't a judgment decision factor.
God already knows every secret we each hold.
This nation was judged long ago when God allowed the fake chosen to hold offices in this country. He even says He will bring in his dogs to do his bidding when it comes to nation dealings....and that's exactly what He's done.
Lets start with 1913 when the federal reserve was enacted. Most of them were and still are of the fake tribe.
Or even earlier with millions dead and a country divided over slavery.
Do you think God was happy that one man can slave another?
Sure there's talk about slavery in the Bible (indentured or working off a debt) but it wasn't involuntary slavery (kidnapping). And kidnapping is a sin worthy of death.....its right up there with murder.

Don't worry its all good now!
Phil Robertson expressed his disdain towards homo's.....God wont judge America now!

Yeah..........doesn't make a lot of sense that God will judge America because this guy came out of the closet....just as it makes sense that God wont because Phil Robertson publically said he doesn't like homo's.......what ever!

Yes that must be the case. Billie Jean King is not even a winter Olympic athlete...

You haven't seen any emotion from me yet asshole.

And YES there are many individuals who speak for a supposedly democratic nation. In a representative form of government, even if it is rigged, the concept IS that someone speaks for others.
Sending a tribe of queers to represent the nation is a BIG voice saying what Amerika is.

I happen to know and like some gay people. It is, however, when such a "lifestyle" is demanding that it be recognized and acknowledged as acceptable that I draw the line. Their mission in creating a tolerance for all except guns, bible & christians, is to destroy the protection the people have as well as the relationships that count.

See, now there you go again.

See, now there you go again.

That's not emotion. That's calling a splayed a splayed and a masshole an asshole.

[Cebu_4_2]

That's not emotion. That's calling a splayed a splayed and a masshole an asshole.

What exactly is the difference between a masshole and an asshole? Do you have pictures for reference? I don't believe I have access to the earlier ones you might be reffing to
