Didn't he say that being gay was a disease, but now he's saying it's a choice? Make your damn mind up before you open your mouth.

Does he even think before he speaks

Fade into oblivion please

When homophobes think they arent homophobic because they're not literally wishing death on homosexuals

Why the **** would anyone choose to be gay though.

Do these morons not realise how stupid that sounds?

Anyone who says that being gay is a choice is basically coming out and saying that they have a bit of gay in them and chose to repress it. I mean, did he choose to be straight?

I choose to be gay to be different and free and to express my self

No, not at all. Just chalk it up to ignorance and leave it at that.

I feel like every other day there is a controversy where some loser blasts gay people and then spinelessly makes excuses for it and then the internet debates. There needs to be a better way to handle these things when they come up in the media.

He's entitled to an opinion, it's whether he acts based on those opinions that really matters. Some people do not "get" homosexuality and will never understand it because it is far too big a leap for them. Does that mean they are terrible people? Not in all cases.

I grew up in a very old fashioned community, and one thing I realised from that is that one questionable opinion doesn't make someone a bad person. In the case of Evander Holyfield I have no idea since I don't know the guy

EDIT: In the actual conversation Evander didnt say being gay is a choice, he said choosing to act on the urge and sleeping with somebody of the same sex is a choice, which it is but it still doesn't make his statement any better

Irritates the living hell out of me.

I think his son should've just stayed quiet. It's only making his dad look worse.

Mess

That pause.
