#### in sports
Jan 11, 2008 | 9:52AM | report this

it is a shame that in the sporst world, more #### athletes elect to

stay in the closet.  i see this with the apparant overdose of many

sports figures, like christopher bowman.  these folks hide in the

shadows of life, because of a society of fear and feelings of shame

for being themselves.  we need to start accepting people for who

they are, and the achievements, and accomplishments and not

the person in their bed.

Remember that God doesnt hate the person. Just the sin. And in the garden of Eden. It was Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve.

I don't know why you had to bring this in here. With no bio, I smell a troll.

I don't want to know who is #### and who isn't. Don't ask don't tell works fine for me.

As far as "for being themselves", I disagree. It is a lifestyle choice in my opinion and, yes a sinful one at that.

That doesn't mean I do not have #### friends who publish #### internet magazines.

However, we are all adult enough to know that we can be friends and treat each other with respect without necessarily agreeing with each other on all things. That is the true meaning of tolerance.

hey 14Falcons, I don't have a bio either. don't be a hater.

i don't think being a #### athlete was what caused Bowman to kill himself. it's not like it was a secret that he was a ####. I think this is the case of someone who overdosed and just happened to be a popular athlete/entertainer and who just happened to be ####. no more no less.

divine,

Write a bio damn it!

I agree with you. It looks like Bowman's main problems was drugs, not his sexuality.

But which is it? Was he afraid to "come out of the closet?" Or was he known to be #### and therefore de-facto out of the closet? What if he was straight? And what the hell does any of that have to do with how good of a skater he was?
