DO MATTER WHAT TIM TEBOW THKS ABOUT GAY ISSU?

Six years ago this week, Tebow was makg major headl around the Super Bowl for his appearance an ad om anti-gay evangelil group Foc on the Fay. He gaed a few unexpected fans the gay muny today, but the notorly God-fearg quarterback sred off the very supporters who saw him as a Christian celebry — they're llg his about-face on an anti-gay marriage pastor "disastro. "This article is om the archive of our partner gaed a few unexpected fans the gay muny today, but notorly God-fearg quarterback Tim Tebow may have sred off the very supporters who saw him as a Christian celebry even as his NFL reer has fizzled — they're llg his about-face on an anti-gay marriage pastor "disastro, " and clarg "his street cred wh the evangelil muny" all but Thursday morng, via a strg of tweets, the backup QB for the New York Jets (for now, at least) ncelled an upg appearance at the First Baptist Church Dallas.

Tebow's send-gusg followed reports that First Baptist pastor Robert Jefs attacked gay marriage, Islam, and Mormonism several rerd sermons.

The turnaround surprised many of Tebow's crics — who have noted his support for the vehemently anti-gay anizatn Foc on the Fay — and, equal measure, left some of his more vol supporters on the Christian right more than gobsmacked. The fluential nservative rad host Bryan Fischer, for one, lled Tebow a "ward": Do he disagree wh him when he says that homosexualy is a s? Meanwhile, Tebow's turnaround on the speech Dallas has earned him aclas om outlets like the gay-themed sports webse OutSports, whose founr wrote today: It’s hard to believe the cisn om anythg but a revelatn about Jefs’ anti-gay preachg that fli the face of Tebow’s (generally) more posive and clive msag.

Whatever the reason, good for Tebow for sayg “No” to this anti-gay of this means that Tebow is steppg out of the spotlight.

Some of his peers even thought he was a secret homosexual.

People believe Te'o was tfished to the whole thg while others believed he may be gay and was merely g the Kekua story as a way of hidg his relatnship wh Tuiasosopo. Grer got an endorsement al wh Nike after she me out, markg the first time the pany had announced a partnership wh an openly gay athlete. Rodgers has flat out nied beg homosexual, but his former roommate has been persistent sayg they were more than iends.

IS TIM TEBOW GAY?

Someone told the prs there was a gay player on the Mets team. He is married to a mol and actrs Alicia Rickter they've been married sce 2005 so the mors of him beg gay are probably false. Piazza addrsed the old mors aga a 2013 terview and proclaimed: "I was gay, I'd be gay all the way".
