Allegedly, about Tiger Woods,
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 12:34 PM by closeupready
he had condomless sex with porn stars and escorts behind his wife's back. If he were gay, he would have been crucified.

But because many heterosexual men are doing THE EXACT SAME THING, he's given a pass by sports news channels and the mainstream media.

2. Yes. I won't say because they are either doing the same thing
or else have done it in the past, but I'm gay, I've been around, and I know that many 'heterosexual' men do experiment.

4. Exactly what do you mean by "IF Tiger were gay?"
Gay and single? Gay and married to a gay? Gay and married to a woman? Single, publicly hetero and promiscuous with men? Single, publicly gay and promiscuous with women? Hetero married and promiscuous with men? Gay married, and promiscuous with women?

:crazy:

6. I don't think he has been given a pass
They continue to bash him left and right for all of his deeds that just keep on rolling out.

:shrug:

Maybe after the Masters there will be a change pro / con.

I know the Head of the Masters just came out strong against him and they are saying that his Nike commercial stinks. It does IMO.

8. So you're saying the media has a bias against gay men?
In other news, scientists discover the sky often has a blue-ish color.

11. So why do so many people here think
he IS getting a pass? If you don't know, then what can I say about intelligence levels here.

12. I think marriage is more of an issue than anything else.
If he wasn't married, there wouldn't be much to talk about.

13. I absolutely agree. Single men do what they do.
It might still be interesting to some people, and people might be interested to hear about it, but it doesn't represent a betrayal of any vows of chastity or faithfulness, and let's face it, men (and women) have to relieve sexual energy, so yeah, it's more about his marriage and how his children are going to feel ashamed.
