Open Question

Would the gay community support `The Straight Games`?

This Question stems from a question I Asked earlier about the `The gay Games` which can be found here:

I understand the answers people gave, but(!) to me it still seems wrong for the `Gaymes` to explicitly exclude a group of people based on their sexual orientation.

So what I would like to know is that since these `Gay Games` are so important for gay athletes so that they can be around people like them & feel comfortable while playing sports would the gay community support the `Strait Games` for those people who are homophobic, so that they would not have to deal with or worry about dealing with having homo-sexuals on their team. There are gay athletes in the olymipcs-quite a few actually. Are you kidding? compairing the gay games to the special olympics or paraolympics? They have disabilities that inhibit them from taking part in regular olympics- like not having use of their legs; Are you trying to tell me that being homosexual is a disability that inhibits you from playing sports? because if not, your arguement is terrible

as for the rest of you, you need to read up on the gay games. there are several former olympians large group of NCAA division 1 athletes a pro bowler & ex NFL star. So clearly they have had no problem competing in competition that`s open to everyone;

Just to be clear, all of you support discrimination against people trying to enter sports competitions based on their sexual preference? Everybody loves Chris: I realize there are homophobics in the olympics-thats the whole point; at the olympics gays & homophobics both compete; At the gay games gays compete where they don`t have to worry about being with homophobics. Shouldnt homophobics have a place to compete where they don`t have to worry about being with gays? because just like gays cannot help being gay homophobics cannot help being homophobic; Princess- point is gays want to be equaly integrated into society & in addition to that want special events where only gays can compete. Therefore only way things would really be equal is if there were events where only strait people could compete. Other wise they are premoting discrimination based on sexual orientation -the very thing they calim to be trying to stop. Harry-Of course people running gay games arn`t going to say that no hetero sexual or no homophobic people are allowed. but(!) by calling it `The gay Games` instead of somtihng like `The Acceptance Games` They have essentially done same thing. Don`t worry my proposed `Straight Games` will be open to all people as well. Any homo sexual voulenteers to participate?
