Charisma to NFL Gays: Stay in the Closet!
Jennifer LeClaire, news editor of Charisma, a magazine and publishing house for Pentecostal Christians, is terrified that the gay agenda may soon enough seep into Sunday afternoon football and she has a message for gay NFL players: stay in the closet. Charismas daily email newsletter hypes her story this way:
Don't straight players ever do wacky dances? LeClaire frets about speculation that a professional football player will come out speculation that has grown with the number of outspoken straight-but-gay-supportive players like Brendon Ayanbadejo. She insists that gay football players should stay in the closet to avoid enticing young people into a sinful lifestyle. All emphases are in the original.

(29,047 posts)This is such a hypocritical argument. Straight people tell people their sexual orientation very often. "I went to the store with my husband yesterday." = telling people your sexual orientation.

P.S. If you think homosexuality is a sin, don't engage in it.
