OLL BECKHAM JR. RPONDS TO GAY RUMORS

While he wasn’t explicly asked if he’s gay, the terviewer brought up the mors ma mostly by social media ers. I have iends who are gay.

Says he was not offend by people speculatg that he is gay, a mor that got turbocharged 2015 when var Carola Panthers ed gay slurs agast him a game when he was wh the New York Giants. They’d ll you “exced” a hot-tub photo wh your teammat or simply jt say you’re gay. GQ: I feel like posts like that only ntribute to homophobia the black muny.

The ia that someone mt be gay — or that beg gay is any way shameful — bee they’re dancg or have blond hair seems so small-md.

OLL BECKHAM JR. NOT BOTHERED BY PEOPLE SPECULATG HE IS GAY

Beckham never f what his sexual orientatn is, though I assume he is sayg he is not gay, pecially sce he says earlier the terview: “You never hear about the woman I’m datg or anythg like that. After the game, members of the Giants anizatn and the media said Beckham was the target of homophobic slurs on the field before the game.

I asked Norman at the 2016 Super Bowl about the cint and he nied g gay slurs agast Beckham.

It is much better than actg as if beg gay is somethg that has to be strenuoly nied or referred to as “silly” and “crazy mors” like another NFL star did. -- Jaguars assistant strength and ndng ach Kev Maxen has bee the first male ach major Amerin men's profsnal sports to publicly e out as gay, tellg he ma the cisn bee he didn't want to hi who he is any longer and to possibly spire others siar suatns.It's a cisn and move that drew praise and support om owner Shad Khan, who was a vol and emphatic supporter of a cy ordance that expand protectns on the grounds of sexual orientatn, genr inty and genr exprsn."I don't want to feel like I have to thk about anymore," Maxen said the piece published Thursday afternoon.
