Compared to the hell Jackie Robinson went through, Jason Collins is getting a ticker tape parade.

Collins, a 12-year National Basketball Association player, recently wrote a column in which he announced that he is gay: "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay (male) athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation."

Orthodoxy SUCKS.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Funny how all of a sudden this clown is a home o, he has been living with a woman the past eight years. As sorry of a ball player he is, he must have been enjoying taking showers with the men.

I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.

With Collins coming out, the NBA has exactly one more openly gay player than it has who is openly Republican.

Wow - can you imagine?

Now THAT would be a "Jackie Robinson" moment
