WHY PHOTO OF BASEBALL PLAYER BEG KISSED STCK CHORD WH CLOSETED GAY FAN
The photo prompted an email exchange I had wh a gay baseball fan, whose inty or tails I won’t disclose bee he is the closet. What is so strikg about this public display of affectn is that there is so much homophobia pro sports and yet this assistant ach don’t re.
Pro sports has been credibly homophobic for s. Male athlet, whether straight, bi, or gay, have been forced to hi behd a wall of macho perceptn and mata a certa image of macho to all.
This photo shows that hopefully that wall is cmblg when an assistant ach is not aaid to show his love (of any kd) for a young player on his birthday and btow a sign of affectn (whether be straight, bi, or gay) on him pla view of everyone the dugout (and obvly wh photographers prent. What I like is that my emailer do not assume the ach is gay (Turner has a wife and three kids) but that we should celebrate public displays of affectn between men given how we are hard-wired om a young age to avoid them.

Hey JT, I’m married to a woman who knows of my heterosexual and homosexual experienc before we were married. Some people don’t unrstand this distctn, which is why you get hopels closet s like Larry Craig who hontly believe they’re not gay bee they’re married to a woman … which of urse variably leads to some trated tap-tap-tappg away a bathroom stall. On the streets of New York, I see men (ually gay men, but not always) kiss each other on the cheek a ln tim a day, but when I vis my mom down at the Jersey Shore, such an actn would probably e people to stop and stare.
