I don't give a shit that America is 250 years old. This country lets people without insurance die, leaves its veterans to rot on the streets, and blows up little kids in their schools.
Imagine a country where you can get a 10 year prison sentence for removing peeling paint from a pool…
And receive no prison sentence for raping a child.
Welcome to America.
99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion.
6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster.
Wake up.
There are gay and bisexual men in every sport that exists. The reason you don’t hear about them is because they are told if they come out their careers will be destroyed and they’ll be shunned from society. Not to mention they will receive threats from deranged homophobes for the rest of their lives. They cannot exist as their true selves publicly because it’s not safe for them to do so. Hate crimes still happen. It’s awful and it shouldn’t be that way.
When heated rivalry came out I remember Hudson and Connor talking about being contacted by a lot of closeted hockey players who didn’t feel safe coming out due to the fear of losing their careers but also because of society. There are plenty of closeted athletes out there and we’ll likely never know who they are.
